A quarter staff. I’m reading Robin Hood and I AM A YEOMAN.
A heavy stick does not cut it.

“Sword-chucks, yo!” Hope somebody remembers this one.
Also, on the M2 machine-gun thing, the Shadowrun Gyro-mount harness may be an idea we could consider adding for people who want to wield guns they really shouldn’t be able to. Coding it would be difficult, however, as Gyro-mounts are supposed to significantly impair movement. For anyone who doesn’t know what this is:
Gyro-Mount
These systems consist of a heavy upper-body harness with an attached, articulated, gyro-stabilized arm that mounts a rifle or heavy weapon. The gyro-stabilization system neutralizes recoil and movement modifiers up to its rating (standard Rating 5, deluxe Rating 6). Standard military systems also include smart goggles with a protected cable connection. Mounted smartguns may still be fed through standard palm induction links. When worn, the entire system provides an additional point of impact and ballistic armor, and is not concealable. Gyro systems add +4 to the wearer’s target numbers in melee combat, and only allow him to use half his Combat Pool dice. It takes 5 minutes to get into a gyro-mount harness and one Complex Action to “quick-release” out of it. Attaching or removing a weapon from the mount requires two Complex Actions.

Hrm, a wearable dohickey, possibly a power armor mount, although with the really bug guns I kind of wonder if even that would keep you stable, or if it’d start shoving you around…

I just remember going to extremes in Fallout: Tactics just to get ammo for the M2 Browning and to use it (In armor, and sometimes with the “Mutie” chem) …Because a bigass HMG is amusing to me.

Dunno if it’s been said, but an entrenching tool.
Think: shovel + axe + collapsible/portable.
From wikipedia: [Entrenching tools, if strongly built, can also be used as weapons. Some entrenching tools can be even sharpened on one or both sides of the blade to be used as cutting tools or weapons; in fact, when used as such, the tool’s sharp, thick edges are strong enough to cut through flesh and bone. During the Second World War, entrenchment spades were used in close quarters combat between German and Soviet forces. Soviet Spetsnaz units were well trained in the use of the standard short-handled Russian entrenching shovel (“saperka”) as a weapon; by the nature of their missions, such tools were only rarely used for digging or entrenching positions.[8] Modern commando forces, too, are trained to fight with entrenchment tools.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrenching_tool)
Just seems handy.

I’m surprised this hasn’t seemed to be mentioned yet: the M240, the US military puts them on everything and they’re used for support to larger infantry units

I think the main holdup with the M240 is that its belt-fed, that’s fine if mounted on a vehicle, but we don’t have a way to handle that with a freestanding gun. Probably want to set it up as a “pseudo trap” that you place and drop ammo on.

I’m personally kinda miffed at the lack of decent lever-action firearms (save for the weak Marlin and the oddball Browning BLR). Something along the lines of a Winchester rifle in .44 Magnum would be kinda neat to see, as well as some more historical firearms as well (i.e. M1 Garand, Thompson submachine-gun, Walther P38, etc.).
Also…
[quote=“Natures Witness, post:243, topic:2160”]M2 machine-gun thing[/quote]Yes. Just yes. This would be absolutely badass. However, when you consider the machine-gun’s weight of 80-some-odd pounds by itself, it just might definitely should require the use of a suit of power armor and some sort of weapon mounting frame to be able to wield and fire. And the recoil on continuous fire could potentially also be enough to either push you back a fair distance, or outright knock you on your ass.

You can attach the belt-bag to the M249, it looks like?
[Wiki, but FA, so I hope the photos are accurate?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M249)
Now, a .50 BMG, that’s a bit much to fire unassisted.

Do was have a suggestion for an acid-sprayer? To my knowledge the only current delivery systems for “Concentrated Acid” are a molotov-style weapon, and a 40mm Grenade, why not a sprayer, something akin to the flamethrower.

maceballbat. you hammer nails into a baseball bat. I think we have stuff like this, i just like the name. There is a TV show on National Geographic called ‘doomsday preppers’. They had a teenager on it who was prepping for the end of the world. He made a maceballbat. I thought it was a rather creative name. his mom laughed at him. then at the end he told her if the end of the world came he would kick her to the curb.
lets honor this young man by adding a weapon based on his brilliant idea. go youth.

Actually…
Lead pipes - or, simply, buffed pipes. Fast weapon IRL, and VERY deadly in right hands. I broke at least five arms with this thing. Also, longer pipes would be also acceptable
Muffler on a pipe - Yup. Muffler on a pipe. Long and fucking dangerous. Silence your foes.
Pickaxe - Totally not bad vs. armored enemies and also capable of breaking thru walls. It will take lots of time though. Well, that’s just a pickaxe, not a jacqueshammer.
Mallet - hammer-sized sledgehammer. Much faster than a sledgehammer and good for throwing if you’re strong enough.
Circular saw - circular saw. Used to cut wood or your enemies. Battery-powered. Disassemble to get an electric motor, some circuitry and a sawblade.
Sawaxe - Sawblade on a stick. Actually, an axe with DAAAAAMN high cut damage.
Short sawaxe - throwable version.
Buzzaxe - Sawblade on a pipe with electric motor attached. Activate and have fun. Somehow very effective if thrown.
“Lyuber” - Russian invention: flail made with sawblade as a striking part. Guess what, блядь, it can kill you if you hit yourself accidentally.
“Guts’n’Glory” - glove with a sawblade attached. Hit’n’tear just like the bear.
“Gauntlet” - “Guts’n’Glory” with an electric motor attached. Whirly death on your fist, call 666-999-666 to order one today and receive some unwanted attention from FBI and CIA for free!

> The pata or patta (Marathi:दांडपट्टा, Hindi: पट) is an Indian sword with a gauntlet integrated as a handguard. Often referred to in its native Marathi as a dandpatta, it is commonly called a gauntlet-sword in English. One of the best pata collections can be seen at the Durbar Hall, Shiva Nivas Palace, at Udaipur, Rajasthan. The erstwhile rulers —the royal family of Mewar— owns the collection. It is displayed along with many other bladed weapons.\[citation needed\]

> A water cannon is a device that shoots a high-velocity stream of water. Typically, a water cannon can deliver a large volume of water, often over dozens of meters. They are used in firefighting, large vehicle washing, riot control and mining. Most water cannons fall under the category of a fire monitor. Water cannons were first devised for use on fireboats. Extinguishing fires on boats and buildings near the water was much more difficult and dangerous before fireboats were invented. The first f...

A net gun is currently also in development for riot control.\[citation needed\] Net guns are becoming increasingly popular in both fiction and non-fiction settings, often seen as an "easy-fix" weapon for capturing a target without causing serious harm to it. One notable example of a net gun is used in the Predator series of films,...

>
> A bolas (plural: bolas or bolases; from Spanish bola, "ball", also known as boleadoras) is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. Bolas were most famously used by the gauchos (South American cowboys), but have been found in excavations of Pre-Columbian settlements, especially in Patagonia, where indigenous peoples (particularly the Tehuelche) used them to catch 200-pound guanaco (llama-like mammals) and ñand...

> The chain whip is a weapon used in some Chinese martial arts, particularly traditional Chinese disciplines, in addition to modern and traditional wushu. It consists of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain. Generally, the whip has a handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other. A cloth flag is often attached at or near the dart end of the whip and a second flag may cover the whip's handle. The flag or flags...

> The Nock gun was a seven-barrelled flintlock smoothbore firearm used by the Royal Navy during the early stages of the Napoleonic Wars. It is a type of volley gun adapted for ship-to-ship fighting, but was limited in its use because of the powerful recoil and eventually discontinued. Its bizarre appearance and operation has led to it being portrayed in modern fictional works, notably in The Alamo feature film, and the Richard Sharpe series of novels by Bernard Cornwell.

It mostly appears in the form of a multi-shot handheld firearm. Pepperboxes exist in all ammunition systems: matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, caplock, pinfire, rimfire and centerfire. While pepperboxes are usually handguns, a few rifle-sized guns were made: Samuel Colt owned a revo...
