Cataclysm-dda: Makeshift crowbars lose some of the combat qualities the pipe used to craft it has.

Describe the bug:
Examining a pipe reveals that it has a medium blocking quality, whilst a makeshift crowbar crafted using the same pipe loses that entirely.

To Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Acquire two pipes.
  2. Craft one into a makeshift crowbar, leave the other stock.
  3. Compare stats.

Expected behavior:
I'd imagine that, as long as we're only bending the ends of the pipe as the description suggests, there's no real reason for this to lose its blocking quality. In the end, it is still a metal tube, just with different ends. We should still be able to put this between us and any danger attacking us.

Versions and configuration(please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10.
  • Game Version: 0.C-34436-g003d91b

It's still a pipe, man. It wouldn't become totally useless just because you flattened the ends out and gave them a bend or two.

Bending the ends of a pipe would make it harder to use effectively in that regard.

since every type of crowbar seems to have the mentioned melee techniques - even the pipe itself has it - and i can't think of a reason not add it.... well, there you go. thanks for contributing to the game
