Gonna go ahead and make a request here. Actually, I'm going to say this:

For inventory in the beginning, you may have 1 gun, 1 melee, and 1 vehicle. You do not have to have all of these things if you choose not to. I also am going to ask that you specify where your things are kept(backpack, in your car, on your person) and be sure to give a quantity for ammunition. 

I'm going to annoy some gun nuts with this but: we are going to treat ammunition as interchangeable within gun types. So(even though it's not realistic) all handguns use the same bullets, all rifles use the same bullets, etc. 

Weapon types are thus: 

Handgun
Shotgun
Rifle
Auto rifle
SMG
Bow
