+Support, but no pickup timer as that doesnt make any sense. If someone picks it up just add it to their hotbar/equipped items.

On the other hand, it would be annoying to have to wait to holster your fishing pole or axe.
Good point, maybe restrict this to black market items and weapons?

Maybe add an alternative for ditching the weapon though, a way to drop it directly from your hand to try and hide the evidence.

It wouldn't show up when you were searched, but a search of the area might turn it up, and someone might stumble upon it and keep it for themselves.

That would also be a good addition, but how would it be implemented? /drop currently does this, but it allows the person who dropped the item to simply pick it back up again.

I would actually prefer people to be able to pick it up. Ditching a firearm like that is a desperate and risky attempt to hide evidence.

I assume they wouldn't be able to put it back into their inventory, so this would mean that /drop and /holster would need a rework.

What do you think of the idea that /drop would work instantly, and with a weapon/black market tool it would make anyone who picks it up equip the item? /holster would require a 5 minute cooldown and it would be the only way to acquire your weapon/black market tool back into your inventory.

/dropped weapons get immediately equipped with only one magazine's worth of ammo and /disarm is the only way to take it off. 5 minutes is way too much, so let's keep 45 sec.

That would probably be a good solution.
Not sure why we aren't getting more input on this when it's a potential solution to a problem which is being faced every single day when the cops are called on somebody who is armed.
