What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion seeks to change the GSD Stun Baton in the following ways:

>Increased Stun e.g. blinder for longer
>Better Knockback
>Similar effect to the Tranquiliser gun applied when stunned, or even a similar effect to tear gas

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
This baton would act as an improved non-lethal weapon for dispersing crowds and controlling D-class, the only effective non-lethal tool currently is the Tranq gun.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Possible abuse of GSD members abusing and messing around with it via hitting random people.
However this can be dealt with via IC methods and OOC methods if serve abuse is done.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe the Stun Baton needs a change to make it viable in the GSD loadout, as currently it servers little to no purpose other then a low damage melee weapon to "encourage" people to move. These changes could make it more commonly used by GSD and encourage more RP with D-class that doesn't end in them being shot.
