Traitor Item Idea: Weapon Disguiser

[Jon is a BEAST]

NEW TRAITOR ITEM IDEA: THE WEAPON DISGUISER
-This item would do just as the name suggests, and disguise the designated weapon of a traitor by changing the World Model of the Traitor's weapon.
-It could disguise special weapons (C4, knives, silenced pistols, etc.), letting traitors run around with these weapons without the innocents knowing.
-It could also disguise normal weapons, so when a detective says "THIS GUY WAS KILLED WITH A SHOTGUN!WHO HAS A SHOTGUN??" the traitor could quickly disguise his shotgun as a rifle or M16.
-It wouldn't be one-time-use, it would be on a timer, and could only be used X minutes after one use.
-It can't be used forever, as soon as a weapon is used or switched, the disguiser wears off and can't be used for X minutes. It would work like disguises in TF2. (When a spy shoots the revolver or attacks with a knife, the disguise wears off).

So what do you guys think? constructive criticism please, it's just an idea.

I apologize I can't explain better, I'm too miserably hot, but this is just a bit of a lousy idea in my opinion.

[Therio]

Might as well just switch to the weapon you're not using and switch back when you need to kill something.

This is just mildly more convenient, but it's not worth a credit in that case.

[Ajunk]

This idea hurts the innocents without actually making traitors buy the weapon. Because weapons can now be disguised, the only way to reliably check people's weapons based on recent corpses would be to make everyone they see drop their weapon for manual checking. Aggravating.

And at the cost of a whole credit? You can have exactly the same effectiveness as a traitor simply by hiding your murder weapon and NOT RUNNING AROUND WITH A KNIFE.

[Silverstream]

Agreed. If my memory serves me well, I do believe this idea was offered already before and declined due to obvious reasons.
