Man, this reminds me of something else that could added to the game. Dem dere gator bang sticks!

> A powerhead, bang stick, smokie, or shark stick is a specialized firearm used underwater that is fired when in direct contact with the target, not to be confused with other types of underwater firearms which fire specially designed projectiles and do not require direct contact with the target.

It would be trivially easy to craft one of these. Not sure how they would work in the game, without ammo-fed melee weapons though. Would kinda hacky to have a range 1 or 2 shotgun and the whole fun of a bang stick would be to throw them like javelins.

Well, a crafting recipe that is like, two pipes or a pipe and a heavy stick and a shotgun shell and it’d work like a grenade with a blast radius and timer of 1? Probably a better way to do this though.
