How they work

A stinger appears after the deploying cop finishes the animation.
Stingers pop tires when a vehicle carrying wanted players drives over them.
Police stingers are removed if the officer goes too far away.

Damage and immunity

Wanted players can damage stingers:

normal weapons do 10% damage
shotguns and sniper rifles do 50% damage

Bullet Resistance does not protect a vehicle from stinger traps.

Vehicle access

Traffic Officers can use /stinger.
The Enforcer can deploy a stinger like the Advanced Hummer.
The SWAT Tank has 60% bullet resistance, increased max speed, and allows /stinger inside the vehicle.
Any cop driving an Advanced Hummer can use /stinger from it.

Current stinger timing

/stinger has a 7 second placement cooldown. A stinger lasts about 1 minute. It is removed if destroyed, if its owner dies, quits, leaves the Police Service, moves more than 200 meters away, or places another stinger.

Normal weapons deal 10% damage to stingers. Shotguns and sniper rifles deal 50%. A stinger starts working after the placing animation and pops tires only when a vehicle drives over it.
