In that case: Railway Rifle. With a few benefitional tweaks from its FO3 version upwards, I think this Rifle would make a fine addition. Railway spikes should be craftable at a Reload Bench or Workbench from purely Scrap Metal. I always love the steam flute.
Chem Sprayer: similar to Flamer, but uses corrosive acids instead. On death victims will die in green yellowish goo like Plasma critical kills. Just to add chemical warfare to NV.
Spider Mine: Standard Frag Mine with spider leg attachments (similar to O:A). Can walk up to five yards towards the next closest target (that is not you or companions, but is indifferent to friendly and hostiles). Best used only in hostile territories.
Fuel Bomb Catapult: similar to Fat Man, instead launches sub-nuclear bombs that resemble the Gas Bomb from DM. Like the Gas Bomb, Fuel Bombs explode on NPC proximity. Essentially, the Fuel Bomb Catapult is a ballistic long range mine launcher. Ammo:
"basic" Fuel Bomb--same requirements as the Gas Bomb to craft, but also requires 10 Flamer Fuel. Burns longer than Gas Bomb.
Timed Fuel Bomb-- instead of using the Sensor Module it requires an Egg Timer. As such, it does not explode on proximity but explodes 15 seconds after launch.
Sticky Fuel Bomb-- instead of using 10 Flamer Fuel, it requires 15 Homemade Flamer Fuel and 2 additional Boxes of Detergent. Deals less explosive damage but victims burn longer and brighter than the basic version (damage per tick is higher, with 3 times normal duration). Dont we all love the smell of napalm in the morning?
(The ammo for the Catapult could also serve as alternate ammo for the Fat Man)
Bean Machine: a BB machine gun.
.357 Microgun: a rifle styled and handled minigun. Has 6 closely tied spinning barrels. Uses .357 ammo and has an ammo capacity of 60. Eats ammo for breakfast though (full clip depletion is about the same time as the full clip depletion of a 12.7mm SMG). Does not have spool time.
Here is a favorite of mine...
Multi-launch heavy-Assault Saturation System aka MASS: this long stretched bucket contains 6 25mm launch tubes for bought, looted or home made 25mm RPGs. Each tube can contain up to 6 rockets, totalling 36 rockets for a fully loaded MASS. Rate of Fire is 3/sec. Fully automatic. As can be expected, it deals the same damage per shot as a 25mm grenade, but allows for a straight forward shot rather than an arching one. Can not be reloaded until completely depleted due to its reload "rack" (a rack contains a maximum of 36 rockets). Fires like a Metalstorm gun.
