Really, if you're aggressing someone with a gun and you're not actually planning to shoot them with it, just the act of pointing a gun at someone should be enough. Shooting a bullet in the air harmlessly proves your intent no more than pointing the gun at someone was already doing.
It might be funny to fire in the air and elicit some message in the room about a flying object veering downward and crashing, but I don't know how difficult it would be to create what amounts to a new verb that doesn't target anything, drains one bullet from a clip, and causes one of a number of messages that would have to be written from scratch.
For corpses though, I'm pretty down with the idea of being able to attack a corpse with any weapon and elicit real awful messaging, though this idea of 'ruining' a corpse might run counter to a desire to ensure the various death timers aren't something other players can alter with such a simple action.
Firing warning shots should be possible just because it makes sense, and hitting background NPC bystanders in crowded rooms if you suck (or are using full auto) would be really funny, especially if you're trying to be Billy Badass and accidentally bring a gang or WJF down on your head.
That said, I'm on-board for the idea if there's risk (and the trouble coming back around associated with it).
I don't know how complicated the coding for Sindome is, but a simple number generator shouldn't be too difficult to make. However the problem lies in the variables, because I'm not sure there are any means to add indoors/outdoors, room size (if applicable) or if you're in a location that supposedly has no background NPCs at all, and etc.
Still, if someone does have an idea of how to effectively implement this, I think it shall be quite enjoyable.
I don't doubt we will implement something like this in the future, but we need to build out those ancillary systems (which will happen as needs arise for other features). However, for now, just pose/emote waving your gun around in an aggressive manner, finger on the trigger and the light of chaos in your eyes ;)
