You do have a very good point, I was sure to include many CQB (close-quarter combat) weapons. However this list is more or less a personal preference list of cool firearms I would like to see in a survival type video game, like BioShock. Many of the longarms are antiquated, outdated, and not fashionable for close quarters fighting, which is why I included them. I would like to see the game less about fast shooting, but more along the lines of careful precision, and strategy. Ammunition would be scarce, so you would have to make the big rifle bullets count, shotgun shells and pistol ammunition would be easier to come by, and possibly more useful. But when you run out of ammo for you longun, for example the Arisaka rifle, you could beat someone with it like a giant club, or use the sword-like bayonet haha. Instead of just a boring old wrench, I would like to see every weapon as an effective battery tool. Look up some of the weapons I have listed, although the list is constantly being tweaked, a lot of the SMGs are cheap to build, like you describe. I do have the Sten and its Australian cousin, along with a whacky French counterpart. The list is widely diverse, using a variety of firearms from different parts of the world and time periods.

PS: the Ballester-Molina is an Argentine copy of the M1911 pistol :)
