Every sentence ended with some variation of weapon...

>In what ways could we adapt things like this needle scaler, or, say, a light bulb, into effective weapons?

Basically home made weapons, the kind that are illegal and often used for illegal purposes.

So, do you want more like a modified version of something inconspicuous, or a real weapon that can be made from commonly available stuff? Nail thrower/cudgle vs. diy open bolt auto pistol

This Pencil crossbow works wonders. Great for play but if you need something to quickly deal with an intruder use sharpened skewers and aim for the face.

though if you want something with a little more Umpf, OP, I'd suggest John Minnery's - How To Kill - Volume 1(page 37 has my favorite little weapon) or the anarchist cookbook.

OK sure thing man

I plan on putting a rail on my Milwaukee 18v Fuel Sawzall, sliding a laser sight on it. No function at all, but if someone breaks in and someone walks out smiling with a power saw's laser sight trained on them, the robber may reconsider messing with that person. You don't fuck with crazies.

I managed to impale someone with a sprinkler pike. In a videogame.

Ur welcome OP

what counts as a weapon?

i would guess that light bulb would make a good molotov's coctail, or a bomb. You could also just throw it on the ground, those shards would be painful if walked barefoot..

one thing that i saw on the simpsons was "the defender"
just pick a heavy object like microwave oven or something similar and tie a rope/chain around it.

ban all tools that can be used violently for maximum peaceful compliance

Electric lighters make great tasers

I find that baseball bats make for great clubs/blunt weaponry.

Look up the improvised weapons of the Ukrainian revolution. Surprisingly effective and brutal with a flair of DIY.

Use nunchucks. Spin it around and scream "WATAH"!

Same dude, pipe rifles are incredible marvels for humanity yet people look under them, made right they have the exactly same stats perhaps even more of a normal gun plus you could always just use a air rifle, sure a shot to the body may be less lethal but to the head or to the chest, like 83% chance of death

that's not a weapon but a power tool. it is really powerful if you used it on a disabled opponent but this is not weaponery.

Carry a 2 lb drilling hammer. Works great for truckers. Nobody's having a good day after a clean blow from that
