Balance stones

Buffs:
Thrown:
Buff damage +50-100%
Knockdown possibility
Lootable/reusable like other ammo(except smokebomb)

Melee mode:
Add kd chance
Buff damage to 15b, balance towards the nerf mentioned bleow.

Balancing(counter to the buffs):
Lower ammo amount to half or one quarter
or
Increase weight(x2 or more)
Adjust slot usage, minimum 1 maybe even 2 or 3.

Realism points:
Since I have no direct evidence stones was this good during the renaissance/medieval era this might be the wrong time period. Stones today are more widely used than poleaxes, which says a lot, it has survived the gunpowder and mechanization transition far better than most other crpg-weapons would.

The reason for the buff is... stone to the head= not good, helmet helps, but disabling someone for 7 min("Killed" on battle server) should be a possibility for a high PT build against heavy helmets with 1-3 hits.

PS. Slot usage might actually need to be made to 2(maybe 3) to avoid making it the "standard sidearm"

Rocks have been a useful, powerful and effective tool used by men to settle their differences since time immemorial, and I believe they will continue to be such, so this buff seems good.
I don't know enough

Me approves. Buff them a bit so that I can send more peeps flying off from ladders after being hit in the head with a stone.

Maybe if we also hand stones made of pure gold and increase price by 10000% (not kidding about 10000%) and then applied these buffs

Gold is, after all, expensive and heavy. If gold isn't dense enough to qualify for these stats, then just pretend it's a lump of gold plated osmium

Adding the opportunity to take it from the ground near ruins or something like that could be funny too  :D

It should be collectible if it misses, but the stats are fine vs the Throwing Knives, maybe +1-2dmg at most.
