As for the weapons section of the Technology area, I'm still a bit out of ideas and could use suggestions.

I don't see a reason to get too creative, as firearms as we know them toady are "good enough" It's a simple tool that fires a cheap projectile that tears flesh, snaps bones and could even poison you if it stays in for too long. Only way to improve I can think of would be a small caliber, somewhere around 5.56mm (cheaper, lighter) and increasing velocity (better accuracy, shorter travel time, more severe tissue damage).
