Makeshift weapons

[misto]

shotguns really are mechanically simple and could get a little more play. shotgun cartridges, too, are somewhat simpler to make/reload than more precise rifle or pistol ammo

i would recommend that, someday, ammo not be simply printable from hacked manufacturers anymore but something you assemble on a workbench requiring blackpowder as a propellant. then you are balancing improv'd firearms, which are usually mechanically simple affairs, by making their ammo a bit scarcer/more involved to make.

this will also encourage people to actually use workbenches more often and familiarize themselves with the workbench interface, maybe inspiring more ideas for workbench content

now, i want to show you guys one of my fave channels when it comes to homemade weapons, he usually works with heavy rubber bands to make slingshot type weapons, but hes been playing with airguns lately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0DLwa6OY8M he has to block the barrels of the airguns he makes with a thin nail so that they cannot shoot ball bearings and thus remain legal. spacemen would thankfully not be bound by legal concerns

heres my idea for a wepon: cablecoil + 2 pipe frames = nunchuks/flail
