I was playing once and realised you can stand inside the sentry drones so I had an idea.
What if we had a combat knife instead of a pistol on certain playthroughs?
Imagine, you hold left click to extend your arm and you hold right click to rotate it. You could stab the sentries and with practice, you could throw it at the flying ones, or be daring enough to stab them mid-flight.

Jus' sayin' it'd be nice.

It would also be tons more risky than using the gun; throwing the knife would have a very low chance of having any effect even when you assume it'll hit the drone, and getting close to any type of foe to use it would be pretty tough as well. Though timing it right to get close to a spinning sentry to conserve ammo does sound exciting.

Hmm.
