*Punching people in the mouth has a random chance of stunning and/or KO. It's the same for punching to the head, though mouth might have a slightly higher weaken chance.
*In melee fight, always aim for the groin for maximum chance of stunning, if opponent has captain's armor/CE's suit/rigsuit, aim for the mouth.
*Bomb suits function as ghetto riot gear.

*Disarm intent is very, very, very good. If you don't have a stun weapon, or they do, disarm them quickly, steal it, and use it against them. This is really easy against officers who just have a baton, or really anyone with that status.
*Lit welding tools two- or three-hit carp.

*Steal an empty bottle from the bar, fill it with welder fuel and grab a lighter. Smash the bottle on your target's head and use the lighter on them while they're stunned. Now they are on fire. This is particularly effective as a self defence measure assuming you can't get your hands on some proper weapons. While fire will take several seconds before doing serious damage, most people won't be carrying anything to extinguish it. They can resist to put it out but resisting out of being on fire is an auto stun, otherwise they can keep fighting and all you'll have to do is keep your distance untill they burn to death. Their only option is running away. The added benefit of fire is that armors don't generally have fire protection, that makes it a great weapon against better equipped foes like nuke ops with their pesky armor and shield, assuming you can get close enough, but once you manage it's going to ruin their day.
