We need an explosive weapon and that'd be both very fun and helpful to develop the weapon system.

The explosion effect is already done - Assets/Effects/ImpactExplosion.tscn.

What's left is:

making a simple animated weapon model - it's best to start off with Handgun mode las template (it also has the hand)
making a projectile model
making projecile scene with a smoke trail (could probably use the exact same particle system as a "Tracer" from the explosion VFX scene. At least for starters
implementing explosive damage with push force applied to surrounding objects*
implementing weapon switching**

explode() function should be added in Weapon.gd - explosion should have a spherical area around it to detect collision with objects. For every object in range a raycast shou;ld be done to determine of any solid obstacles are blocking the damage. For the ones not protected by walls - damage should be applied with damage and force scaled with distance from the explosion origin. Also - an object that was hit directly should probably recieve additional damage. Push force should be implemented in the deal_damage() function.

** All available weapon scenes should be preloaded into an array. Then player can swithc them using the number keys or mouse wheel. When swithcing. The current weapon scene is replaced with a different one. As node paths/tree structure should stay the same, things should still operate. Later switching animations, delay etc. can be implemented.
