Crafting Your Arsenal

An improvised weapon is a testament to ingenuity and desperation. As you generate, consider:

What is the weapon made from? Does its name hint at its construction (e.g., "Duct Taped Copper Shiv")?
Is it for close combat, or does it have a ranged element?
How does the name reflect the weapon’s function and deadliness?
What kind of story does a weapon like "Salvaged Brick Mine" tell?
Does it sound like a quick-fix or a carefully crafted tool of survival?
