Last time I tried something like that, I ended up with broadswords spinning around, (like reapir packs in normal tribes) not what I was going for, but it brought about some interesting ideas for a DM or rpg mission game play.
Actually, ...You'd have have to edit the server files, but you could make an admin command like "#create claymore name" And that spawns a claymore, that will keep reappearing and acting as a normal item until he/she types "#delete name" That would make some pretty nice quests. Where everyone goes in naked, and you have to find your own weapons to survive. (Or stick to spells)
Damnit, I started thinking again.
