Primitive-Crafted Weapons And Modern Weapons

[w0lf3x 6]

The title is really just the beginning of this suggestion, but if put into consideration I'm sure the devs would have a fun time with this idea.

Now here's the idea. After hunting, woodcutting, crafting, and all those goodies are eventually put in and possibly fine-tuned, how about having more "primitive" weapons? 

Here's the focal point - You kill a deer, elk, moose, buffalo, whatever... but not only taking its meat; you utilize every part of it (seeing you're in a survival situation). Take the bones too! 
Use rocks or already existing tools to shape the bones into a knife, arrowheads, spear-tips, etc. While also doing this, making bows, handles for knives, arrow-shafts out of the wood you've cut and maybe using hair or string you've found throughout the map for bow string. 

Here's some photos of what I'm talking about:

(For some reason none of the image options are working for me, nor the code thing)

Just an idea... and making more "modern weapons" less common in a post-apocalyptic world would be nice seeing most of them would probably be just in military bases or just plain ruined. Not sure, just a suggestion.

What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time! :)

I love it, Why waste the rest of the animal when you can make weapons and clothes with the correct materials? It's a difficult implement, but man it would be worth it. It is lame to find an M4-A1 in a cabin with bunk beds, leave it to military areas to have powerful weapons. Let pistols and axes and knifes be found in houses. Maybe a rifle here and there.

Well let's see.

I need to kill an animal to get its parts.

I need a weapon to kill an animal.

 

Once the animal is dead and I have it's parts... there's no point in making a "Primitive weapon" from it; I've already got a firearm or a fire axe.

True, but it wouldn't be just having a weapon already. You know you can make axes out of wood, string and rocks right? All of that could be started out by sharpening a rock on a harder surface (possibly a harder rock or whatever) and from there upgrading. Yes, it's possible to get some kind of axe before-hand but I'm speaking from a point of view in case you can't find anything - not to mention if they decide to make those more 'luxurious" items a little less common. No I'm not saying we should go full caveman but a little more survival aspect would be cool. Good point though Applejaxc.
