Say, why cant the boarding gun, and custom shooty gun use the boarding gun ammo large, only the super boarding gun can? I honestly prefer the custom over super, but would LOVE to use the large chain ammo, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work, since its literally just a longer chain of bullets.
Robin, as for the civilians, it works out as each unit has a score for killing, or capturing.
tough girls, or tough guys, both deduct somewhere around 10 points for killing, sharp guys (men in flashy looking blue suits) deduct I think 40, since they are kinda higher up in society
Anyone whos DIRECTLY part of a faction, (temple, guild, bandits, ect) can be killed off for a points value, but those who aren't you should try to capture.
You can capture with the handle weapon (good early on) gun butts of most larger smgs or rifles, or other means. Stun damage can still kill depending on the weapon and how strong the person is (dont try hitting a sharp guy with a gal whos using a B-bat with a strength above 80, you will shatter his skull)
As a general starter, dont if you can help it, shoot tough girls / guys, sharp guys (especially) savvy girls, fat guys, and especially any government agents you ever run into, unless you are OK with the ramifications. I for instance, a few years in, am perfectly ok with gunning down a few tough guys, because they carry magnums which can punch through armor. Besides gov employees, or sharp guys, they don't really hold much of an influence if you kill a few within the month, but indiscriminately nuking temples might cause you problems
So yes, stunning works. If your starting out, you can also try using a small weapon (rusty niner, pocket pistol, ect) to shoot them. These do less damage, but are enough to knock them out generally, without killing. You can even shoot, and let them bleed for a turn, then bandage them as they are bleeding out. Theres a score hit for killing, but maiming is perfectly acceptable
