[quote=“Lyca0n, post:1101, topic:2160”]I have looked online to see any real life sources of a guillotine trap and sorry man but there don’t seem to be any so in terms of realism I am not sure if it would be the best 
but I agree some new traps would be amazing such as a crossbow or Oh yeah the shotgun trap already exists) or a falling log based trap…Although now that I think about it my lead concern with this is the fact that most people don’t bother with items such as the bear trap in this game at the moment because they merely slightly damage the enemy which if it was reality(or neo scavanger) and against humans would be a good thing due to them being susceptible to infection and or bleeding out but we are against zombies and other undead creatures and this is cataclysm dda…
Let’s stick to weapons of the hand held variety and or pit based mass damaging weapons because this game is not built for items such as this[/quote]Falling log trap seems to be much easier to implement that the guillotine, in practicality sense.
However, I’d imagine any sort of “falling stuff trap” should be set-uppable by the player if they have the proper lifting equipment to lift the particular weight of stuff up, and can drop it quickly enough to catch something.
On the other point, I imagine the beartrap is much quieter than the shotgun trap, and due to the reduced damage is good for hunting or home defense without drawing the attention of zombies three blocks over. It’s also cheaper to set up (reusable many times).
And since the shotgun trap doesn’t guarantee death and doesn’t have any direct slowing effect on zombies, it may not even save you in situations a beartrap could.
