Just curious what kind of odd weapons other folks have used as players or had players use as GM's.

Feel free to throw it all out there, improvised weapons, strange choices in firearms, weapon foci, etc..


I'll start us off. As a player, I actually ran a street sam who carried a baseball bat as a backup weapon.

I had a player who, as a gunslinger adept, insisted on only using Colt Single Action Army revolvers.

I had another player (playing a troll) rip the cyberarm off of a Yakuza enforcer, and proceed to beat down most of a bar with it before being brought down by multiple (4 if I recall correctly) taser hits.

I once had a troll throwing adept that used a dwarven close combat adept as throwing weapon. Mebbe we played too much Blood Bowl before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

...never did this in Shadowrun but in Champions, my character Amber and our "brick", Strong Guy (& no, his name wasn't Guido though he did have rather stylish tastes) worked up a variant of the Fastball Special as a co-ordinated attack. SG would pick Amber up and chuck her at bad guy #1 who of course would brace for the incoming attack. Being a teleporter Amber would bamf and reappear a few feet from, say, bad guy #3 (who was totally unprepared) at full velocity and throw a martial punch or kick in in to boot.

...the GM hated us.
