One of my most fun harebrained moments as a player was in a Traveller one-shot where I weaponised a duvet.
The set-up was that we unwittingly had some information that a megacorp needed, and the whole crew got tricked into being drugged, kidnapped and then held at a luxury hotel the corp owned on an isolated island resort. They cleared out a whole floor to hold us, and the only way off it was down a long corridor to the stairs and elevator, which was flanked by a couple of security guards armed with stunners. The stunners were only a tech level or two beyond modern-day, firing self-contained darts that delivered an electric shock.
So I proposed that we get one of the big, comfy duvets off one of the double beds, stretch it across the corridor in front of us, and blindly charge the guards. Which we proceeded to do, as they uselessly fired dart after dart into the non-conductive fabric, then we bundled them into the duvet and softly pummelled them unconscious.
