To the theme of melee weapons:

A sock with a rock in it makes a swingable weapon.
And a cinder block with the chain makes even better swingable weapon.
Wait a sec. It’s in the main now or what?

It’s still waiting to be merged at the time of this posting.
It should require +10 strength. At least 12.
There’s a reference on the first page of this topic, but even so - read this:
“The Most gruesome weapon ever conceived”
I still think this must be a masterwork weapon, with a hefty prerequisite.
How about a “Thundergod” Thrashing Machine(which is made out of the advanced UPS, some pipes, five sledgehammers and one Tesla Coil found in the labs)? You place it where you need, activate it and run for your life, because in 1 minute it will start thrashing everything around with ground tremors and lightning bolts.
Would be a fucking charm when you fight fungal spires. Goes out after some time, so it’s reusable. Of course you can carry it around activated, but… i dunno how are you supposed to do that.
I hear thunder
But there’s no rain
This type of thunder
Breaks walls and window panes

The image looks like some kind of spiked chakram, but then, being a chinese/taiwanese film, it’s not that strange.
China made some pretty weird weapons back during the dynasties. Chakram and throwing stars have been mentioned already right?
@Iosyn >> I don’t think weapons were weird, it’s more that there were crude variants and delicate, masterworked pieces. So if western civ had been more obsessed with the lore of the time (Prince Arthur and his sword, more so heraldry and rings) easterners and farmost progressed Chinese were about the vast sea, commencing trade and exploring cultures. There’s a legend about that, but maybe another time… The thing that matters was that their population had many leaders, champions and masters of the crafts - all uninfluenced with the skills of the west. So you could have a special weapon like this Guillotine piece, but only for many, many cows and great many sacks of grain.
Now I’m gonna defy myself (I’m all that way) - there was an old legend with the Romans, back in the Celtish times, about a troll or an ogre (can’t recall every detail) or a very gruesome individual guarding a bridge pass with a ball and chain… — Don’t show him the gold and you lose the windshield, and the next one is your V8. —
About chakram, look it up on the first page of this topic, it’s there. This is more how Quentin Tarantino saw it, and one of the greatest impressions from Kill Bill for me was actually that weapon.
Yeah sorry I guess I should have elaborated more-- rather than weird, I should have said that there’s a lot of diversity in chinese weapons, such as the houtengeki or Ji (a spear with a crescent blade on one side, kinda like an eastern halberd.)
Chinese spear discipline is quite interesting, actually, just go watch some martial arts movies. Kung-Fu hustle had a few good examples of pseudo-spear use (aka wirework) but it’s still impressive.
weird weapons
I wanted to offer that long ago, but… something held me.
Whatever.
The Ripper from UT99
Of course, it should come in three versions. First - heavily modified crossbow that shoots circular saw disks. Second - experimental one from the labs, shoots same disks but now in bursts. Third - still experimental, but buffed up and shoots huge cogs(or group of saw disks in shotgun pattern)
However, it won’t be cool without ricochette effect.
I wanna…
A Coil rifle! Same concept as the coil gun.
A Coil shotgun!
Double barrel pipe shotgun. I mean, you made one barrel already.
Recipe for shotgun revolver change to have the pipe shotgun as an option. Unless there’s something special with the ‘official’ single barrel and since your making the revolver mechanism out of scrap, it shouldn’t be too hard.
The unpowered chainsaw.
The Gravity Gun
“You throw motorcycle at child zombie”
“Child zombie gets smashed”
-50 MORALE
EDIT: That reminded me, there’s no morale penaulty for butchering child zombies, right?
Nope
Also, Your profile pic is… strange.
Sanjiegun. Interesting enough, also called the "Coiling Dragon Staff"
Preferrably scoops into a simple Bo.
I want a flamethrower glove! Or a flamethrower attachment!
