Excellent. Just one last thing...
>Nerva pours the lighter's butane down the tube, shoves a bit of cardboard down the tube to prevent leakage, and rams the ball bearing in. He keeps the lighter's sparker, which, being purely mechanical as sparkers are, will probably be useful later.
He then shows off the "weapon", far too proud of what appears to be a lemon yellow tube with tape on it.
This brings a whole new definition to a spear-gun, you might observe. Notably, it is also more efficient than a normal sharpened stick, as you can see, the hole in the top allows it to create wounds that bleed greatly even before it is withdrawn, and before I stab with it, I could ignite the butane with a click of the sparker right here, next to this exposed extender hole, propelling the ball bearing into any number of important organs on an opponent... though perhaps it may not be particularly accurate at long range, I cannot rifle a barrel on short notice. It is the same principle as a musket and bayonet, excepting for the fact that it may not be... precisely as effective if I stab before firing. But then, a bayonet is for after you have fired.
He mutters something about how my family think I'm the unremarkable one I'd like to see them say that now, then sits down at the dice table, new weapon by his side.
