I return to this thread to liven it up... I had an idea of making a makeshift smg that can use ammo from hacked fabricator (the .22 LR and .38 stunner) it could be made from 3 pipe frames, staple gun, a spring/coil... basically it would be an upgrade from the infamous zip gun... first the zip gun would be made, then the pipe frame would be added and welded, then another pipe frame added and welded, and then the spring/coil inserted.
The smg would have only auto fire mode (or burst fire of 2-3) with 10 rounds ammo capacity, wouldnt blow up (basically i am more or less convertin real weapon to fit into the game, just check how easy it is to make a smg... the grease gun, sten gun, lutty smg and ppsh-41 or mp-40 are just owercomplicated military versions) like the infamous zip gun (which tends to blow up like a pipe bomb).
I decided on low ammo capacity for the smg for balance reasons (albeit real ones tended to have 30-50 round mags easily (or up to 100 round drums), as a conventional weapon excelent for station defence and exploration.
The smg would fit into a bag but not pockets and such... we desperately need more makeshift weapons anyone can make, and easily find ammo for, not only it would encourage explorations (which i found to be fun but highly dangerous) but also give crew somethin effective to deal with antags (or griefers) and antags could have some fun too with this, when they wanna go with guns blazing!
