These "Removal" mods I whole heartedly approve, because they attract a MUCH wider audience that can contribute more to our very nice Game.

[Il Palazzo]

I'd like a mod that removes the removal mods.

Are there any mods to make ranged combat viable? I found through cheating that guns get quite good at marksmanship/handguns,rifles... at 25 skill level.

Really, I 1hit zombies all the time with 1911s, with the officer profession.

Guns are already pretty good.

Also, my favorite things about my latest survivor:
1. He has a fire axe and is approaching the level of oneshotting zombies
2. He has a cube van converted into a huge RV of death with spikes and swords welded onto the front
3. He doesn't fumble with vehicle controls anymore
4. When he runs over zombies, they splatter everywhere
5. He has a full set of survivor clothing
6. He lives in a hotel that has been fortified and is impenetrable

This game is awesome.

All guns are perfect weapons when you're directly adjacent.  These are zombies.

Incoming zombear horde.

Bahaha, good luck. I have a basement with upcoming metal doors.

Guns are amazing. Are you sure that you aren't just using them terribly wrong? Are you completely ignoring recoil, for example? Because every time I've seen someone say guns suck, it's because they weren't paying attention!

Throwing and archery are also amazing.

At what range?

And what good is it anyhow, with those starting 50 rounds, we are looking at 50 dead zombies, you won't make it to the nearest gun-shop to restock.

In my experience, at skill level around 3-6, handguns are good within two tiles (one, most of the time), rifles within 6.
And they have lots of downside:
-noise
-ammo
-reloads
-recoil

In melee, with a good weapon you can reasonably fight off unlimited horde through a window, taking occasional hit once in a while with skill levels around 3. Guns just can't compete.

I don't know, maybe I'm missing something ...something other than zombie heads. 
I'm aware of recoil. Damage is ok, the effective range seams too short.

Please edit that in next time.

I kind of agree. In the time you'll spend futzing around trying to get a gun, mods for it, ammo for it, reloader, gunpowder, training (wasting that ammo that was hard to find)... You could have been teaching yourself archery for much more plentiful ammunition that is recoverable, silent, and (practically) infinite. Sure, there are places with decent amounts of ammo, but unless you're incredibly lucky and find a stocked LMOE shelter, or gun store out in the sticks, you'll need to have something else trained up to survive that long anyway.

Guns are, at best, an endgame plaything or hobby for the complacent survivor.

There should just be a mod that removes everything. 

I agree. Cataclysm was a fantastic game right up until I ran the program and played it. Then it was ruined forever.

The best gun is the Pneumatic Assault rifle. Ammo is completely free, light, and the thing can handle a few good mods.

Also the Railgun, if you can afford to get your electronics high enough to craft it.  Thing fires rebar.
