Specific weapon stripping- opinions needed

I don't know if that would really count as challenging. You are just removing the secondary weapon, which is just that, secondary. I'd say 85% or so of kills come from the weapons you listed so it won't be changing much. :/

I know the weapon stripping script now crashes many servers after the class updates.

I agree with snark. It wouldn't provide much of a change in challenge as far as I can tell. The only thing I could see this doing is ruining the balance of all the classes. Taking away certain weapons can make certain classes lose an advantage that they need to have, or make them not even stand a chance against a class they are already weak against. Medics and spies wouldn't stand a chance against anyone if they were exposed without other classes to help them. I can't even count the amount of times the revolver and needle gun have saved my ass in a pinch.

U'll need admin mod 4 that. Or point_servercommand, which can crash.

You could do it with a mix of sourcemod plugins and trigger_multiples execing against a servercommand. I do some similar things to give players HP buffs or color changes etc on my fun hosts. There is a new plugin out for sourcemod that allows you to do things like give a player who is a 'Scout' class the weapon load out of a HWG.
