Use you're imagination... What sort of cool thrifty weapons could be made from junk around the wasteland?

My idea: Using some metal posts/rods and bungee cords to make a bow, and some metal rods and mini nukes to make nuke arrows, you could construct a "nuclear bow and arrow" (which basically fires mini nukes like the Fat Man, but it's much lighter and more accurate). Sure it's ridiculous (though a lot of Fallout weapons are) but it's just an idea. So if you don't like it, post your own idea! Feel free to post an idea that blows mine out of the water!

Erm... Dead Rising 2.
Lots of cool combos there.
Maybe the screw-driver + bucket wouldn't make much sense but the broom machete would be awesome to have.

A booby trapped storage bag that you can create that allows you to leave items safely unattended anywhere if your inventory is too full.

It would also be something to find useful things inside for future games, requiring skill to open them.

Edit: Another cool thing would be inflatable bags that bring things to the surface from underwater locations.

Do not try these at home!!!! heheh no really youll put someones eye out

Molotov cocktail = Cleaner/empty bottle/ some type of high grade Booze and or turpentine (since they seem to like at least 4 components)... really do not know why this was not in any of the modern versions of fallout seems to me like it would be the standard grenade heh..

Poor mans Launcher = Plunger/ duck tape/ single shot shotgun/ Molotov ...

Dynamite spear = Spear/ Dynamite/scrap electronics/ sensor mod...

Whaler = Leap pipe/ scrap metal/ steam gauge/ and spear... harpoon gun

Also would really not mind seeing some craftable armor as well using hides, heheh or even with just enough pots and pans as a joke version..

Black powder recipe, the resulting powder can be used as propellant for bullets, or as charge in grenades, like the Ketchum grenade of the civil war as well as the old fuse hand grenades.

Home made dynamite, requiring nitroglycerin (or it's compounds) and sawdust.
TNT(it's not the same thing as dynamite)

And some weapon conversions, like changing

That's it for now. I know it's a lot of SW, and I don't want to see all these weapons in the same region, maybe something like the English Canadians using the British weapons and the weapons based on them, while a Southern faction uses the German weapons and the weapons based upon those guns. Though the downside of that would be the sheer amount of German weapons used in Star Wars.

And while we're at it, just for the fun of it, find a way to include the http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/UR-G8_pistol

EDIT
Forgot about another one for the English Canadians
