This is getting offtopic, but take note that it's F2 stuff, you should not take Fallout 2 totally seriously, because it's full of stuff that don't make much sense. For example assuming "Grease gun" to be reliable weapon worth using in 2077? Really?
I don't disagree with suggestion, but better be something that would not make huge difference :d. Also if it's something that becomes required, two-handed melee weapons would be useless :<.
