One of my favorite things about Gamma World is what people decide their character weilds in game.
My characters weapond aren't very creative, but in the setting I think they add a lot of character. I weild dual colt revolvers, the character is basically an old west gunslinger type. But my group has some pretty cool stuff.
what we have:
The tail of an anklysaurus (a flail).
An electric guitar.
A winch secured to the arm of an Android.
One character, whose player says he has the body type of a dwarf, weilds a minigun.
So i was just wondering what you use for weapons, and how do you classify them according to the table. An throw in a description of your character if you what.

The most common weapon I've seen in Gamma World seems to be the stop sign.
Slightly off-topic: anyone else notice that Ookla the Mock (from the very Gamma-World-esque 'Thundarr the Barbarian') never had a permanent melee weapon? He always just used whatever heavy item was nearby. A big part of the fun in watching those old cartoons was seeing what he'd grab next...

Yeah, or some variation there of. Like a yield sign or something. The parking meter gets a lot of play also it seems.

My one player, who is running a Wheeled/Nightmare, has a pair of hedge clippers that it holds in its functional forearms next to its front wheels, and throwing stars.
The guy who's running the fetal Alien/Gravity Controller has a wrist-mounted plasma cannon that he can alter on the fly to have the effect of several weapons.
The Temporal/Doppelganger has a gun that shoots miniature time paradoxes, reflecting his Novice ability.
The least interesting is probably the Arachnoid/Pyrokinetic's web bo staff. I think I am going to try to give him a quarter machine mace that spits out capsules that turn into ancient junk for every 10+level points of damage he does per attack.

Our party's loadout looks like this: + Plant/Arachnoid: Hedge clippers. + Gravity Controller/Radioactive: Airplane propeller, with armor made from the fuselage. + Photonic/Mind Breaker: Eye beams, much like Cyclops from the X-Men. Requires her to press both temples to fire. + Speedster/Seismic: A modified shotgun that draws gravel his body to use as buckshot. + Magnetic/Doppelganger: Railgun built into his arms, so that he can stick any old chunk of metal to his chest, hold both arms out straight, and fire away. Also, a whip made from chainsaw blades. + Temporal/AI: He's a little boy whose arm was replaced by a time-travelling cyborg arm, which essentially acts as a temporal anomaly generator that fires (I am not making this up... this the player's idea all the way) tiny Buddha statues snatched from a kitschy souvenir stand in modern-day New York. All this so that he can yell, "Buddha Buddha Buddha!" and pump his fist whenever he fires it.

Rad-Cat(TM): Radioactive Felinoid - Uses a sledge hammer, and has a skateboard as a light shield (he also uses it to move around on, especially when he switches from using his claws to the 2-handed sledge). George: Android Yeti - Uses a parking meter. We figured that his critical bonus to damage is coins flying out of the parking meter on a hit, pelting the target. Why do the coins never run out? *shrug* Who knows?!  He uses a big hunting crossbow for a ranged weapon. Egor: Empathic Mind-Coercer - length of rebar. He has a bunch of golfballs that he bats at targets with the rebar as a ranged weapon. Madame Blanc: Cryokinetic Reanimator - uses a spear that is half a pair of sharpened garden shears secured to the wooden handle of a rake, and she solidifies daggers of ice out of the air as a thrown weapon. B'l'OB: Gelatinous Alien - uses a chainsaw that never runs out of fuel.
