A good thing to do would be to make a weapon that causes no damage, and makes no sound using the binocular model as a pick up object and give it the zoom function, Heck even put them on the screen when it is selected as a weapon, but you would have to make a binocular type screen covering (like when you zoom with a scope) for it to be recognized as binoculars. It's a bit of work but I'm sure the results will be satisfactory.
JEEZ!You people just STFU! You waste more space complaining about people wasting space than the people your bashing! Man, I thought I had no life.
