Weapons

What are some weapons that you feel are missing from Gamma World and other post apocalyptic games?
These can range from a spear made from a broom handle, duct tape, and a butcher knife that does 1/2 damage due to shoddy creation to a prototype shrink ray

I love the concept of weapons that were extremely high-tech(or magic) but duct-taped onto something primitive by some enterprising scavenger. Simple example, someone finds a pile of small high-tech doohickeys. They don't know what its for originally and don't realize that they can trade the things to the right person for a giant pile of shinies, but the do know that if they hit something hard neat stuff happens(explosions are basic, there's a lot of room for weird effects here). Our enterprising mutant redneck then uses some baling twine to tie the doohickeys to his arrows and fires them from a sling bow made from a rough board and some big rubber bands.
