i don't really know what you mean by shoddy weapons so I can't give much of my opinion, but your suggestion reminds me of one weapon that was removed back then.

It's the only 'joke weapon' in the game as explained by the page. I kinda hope the weapon gets added back but it can deal like very small damage or something that would make it very fun to use even though it's crap
