actually making something takes time, organization, access, pre-planning and so on
like I don't expect someone with makeshift weapons to be able to take sec unless they're in numbers or extremely lucky, because sec has powerful, consistent weapons and about 3 different ways at any given time to stun you, effectively rendering you moot
this is more "how do I stop some mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind"
like when you're getting chased by a fuckin vampire or something or an antag who's dumb/determined enough to run straight into a crowded place to kill you, any way to protect yourself, retaliate, or even burn the guy slightly for attacking you (much less get anywhere near stunning/killing him) would be a lot better I feel
most people don't have the option of shitting out a whole armory as soon as there's an identified threat leaving a lot of people very vulnerable to whatever tosspot bumbles across them unless they're lucky enough to bang him with a toolbox just right and then HIS game is over instead
edit: also worth noting throwables/shitty guns would help damper the fact that several antagonists have nigh guaranteed ways to absolutely skullfuck you if you get close to them for even a millisecond (see: pens/injectors/eswords, stings, ei nath, flash glare/hypnosis shit)
