This mod adds the ability to craft improvised weapons.

Included in this mod are 3 baseball bats, 5 firearms, and one grenage, all craft-able from vanilla loot found on the map.You can find, spawn or sell a Improvised Weapons Book to help with crafting recipes. This mod is mostly intended for use on more hardcore servers where guns are rare, but it is a great addition to any server.

Mod will be added to if there is interest and as I have time.

- Double Barrel Shotgun
- Sub Machine Gun .380

Hey, great mod - will implement on my server The Scrapyard today.

One more suggestion.
Under the magazine from the USG-45, you can make a submachine gun for the .45 ACP cartridge. Which will resemble the "Stan" submachine gun.
Production:
Pipe + hacksaw = gun barrel
Pipe + hacksaw = gun barrel protective cover (or scrap + pliers)
scrap + pliers = trigger frame.
Wire+tweezers=gun stock
scrap + hacksaw = trigger.
Trigger + spring = shock group
trigger frame+shock group=trigger.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
barrel+barrel protective cover →trigger→gun stock

Good day!
Very nice and high-quality mod.
I would like to add my thoughts on this mod.
I don't know why, but in my understanding of improvised weapons, 100 percent of the stores used are factory weapons.
For example, I want to suggest an idea:
Sub Machine Gun .380, instead of a home-made magazine, it would be possible to use a magazine from the UMP-45. But here the problem is with different ammunition, which can be fixed simply by changing the caliber of the weapon.
pva09052005 Oct 11, 2024 @ 4:13am 
Bolt-Action Rifle is only chambered for 7.62×54 mm, but it is also .308, so it would be possible to make a rifle with interchangeable barrels.
I would also like to see a solution to the problem with the optic.
There is a slot on the Bolt-Action Rifle that is not yet in use. I have a couple of options:

With binoculars: Tear them into two halves and scratch a cross in the middle with a screwdriver.
Special platform craft: The platform is attached to the rifle, and only then can you put, for example, a hunting scope on it.
pva09052005 Oct 11, 2024 @ 4:13am 
In the mod, such a caliber as 22 LR is not used, and there is no class of weapons like revolvers, so why not combine and kill two birds with one stone?
Here is an example of such a weapon:

The only problem is how to make the drum.
I have an option: we take a piece of pipe, pour lead from car batteries into it, and then make holes in the lead with a screwdriver.

Shotguns:
There is a flare gun in the game, which currently makes almost no sense.
However, if you create a 12-gauge barrel from a pipe, it could become useful. Since it’s made of plastic, it should have a small resource, something like 20–25 shots before it breaks.
pva09052005 Oct 11, 2024 @ 4:07am 
And finally, a sweet suggestion:
Automatic rifles.
If you look at it this way, it can be similar to the submachine gun but with an intermediate cartridge. As an example, you could use a shovel (hello Fallout).
I’m not entirely sure how it would be implemented in the game, but I hope that at least some of my ideas will be useful to you.
