p-doubt I'm going to have to ask you about so many ideas I have such as a nonharmful microwave based gun. Non-harmful as in it won't kill you, just boil your skin eyes and nuts
it would work by using the battery for a 10kw laser and pumping it into a pump magnetron that will then use refracting lens like those on a telescope before passing through a quartz crystal plated with thin stainless steel so that it works like the focusing chamber on a laser before the stream of energy gets enough power to pass through the metal and go through the crystal at which point crystal oscillation ought to help focus and strength the beam.
this ought to turn it into something that should not kill at it's the weakest strength just cause painful and deadly 3'rd degree burns, but at it's highest strength it can cause severe and permanent damage. That's not to mention the adverse effect microwave radiation has on electronics.
So it would effectively be a non-lethal gun that doesn't kill straight off, just incapacitates you by causing extreme pain and boiling your flesh before killing you, the severity of the burns and pain related to how strong the beam is-Going from little-actual-damage-but-a-shit-ton-of-pain to shit-tons-of-pain and oh-my-god-my-flesh-is-boiling-away-my-eyes-have-popped-and-my-saliva-is-boiling-my-tongue! It also has the capability to disrupt most wireless signals and electronics, capable of causing damage to many batteries that use battery acid. Don't believe me, go stick your phone in a microwave and duck and cover.
for the magnetron part, trigger mechanism not includes (would go before capacitors from power source.))
focusing array (quartz oscillation lens would go before the semi-reflective lens):
it will be called an MECR Magnetic Energy Crystal Resonance Rifle and could be made mostly out of parts found in your average microwave...except for the focusing array, but that would be much like those of a normal laser rifle.
data on the quartz lense:
J 1–12 kHz length-thickness flexure J cut is made of two quartz plates bonded together, selected to produce out of phase motion for a given electrical field.

for an example of this being done, quite a while ago in fact, in real life watch this:

An ideal on improving the sugar bombs is to add small caltrops into the sugar bomb mixture so that it can explode and send debris to damage armor for the molten sugar to soak into and to scatter about the ground to make it hard to walk through. This shouldn't be too much more expensive as scrap metal could be used.
Another idea is to make flechette bombs and use a mixture involving sodium phosphorus and sulfur in water to create aqua sodium sulfate and dissolved phosphorus. Bits of metal could be put into the liquid and cause phosphorus to crystallize and coat them . The end result of this would be that when it explodes the crystallized phosphorus breaks apart and catches fire producing a nice fireball and causing the chunks of metal to catch fire so they can hit someone, cut into them, and then soften and expand due to heat. So these would be like more powerful sugar bombs that catch the surrounding area on fire.
aa simple door mounted trap meant to be mounted on and around a door that has a simple safety switch, it activates when the door is opened firing a 1 shot gun at average height level pointed down at an angle.
it can be reloaded with standard ammo and resets when the door is closed due to the trigger mechanism being hooked up to a spring to reset it and the pulleys attached to it and the door. to reset all you have to do is close the door and the spring will recoil the string hooked to the firing mechanism. the gun can be replaced by most modern and high-tech guns.
can we add parrying daggers and sword breakers, with them allowing a sort of dex counter attack to help stop or even damage an enemy's weapon in melee?
