Also sulphuric acid and whips, due to something I believe Izzy said some time.
That was me. Long ago, when I used to code and was doing some script work in IVAN (it was for the Acid Shield, which as I recall the devs were going to implement but never got around to), I discovered that unlike virtually every other item (and certainly every other weapon) in the game, whips do not have a "broken" state -- thus they can't be destroyed. Which means a whip dipped in acid can be a formidable hit-and-run weapon.
