I've modified fire rates and clip-sizes in 'devices' and 'ammo' files, and health in 'actors.' I gave the robot 10 000! It was bleeding oil all over the place when I used the SMG to it. It's possible to adjust the rocket too.

^What Yukio said.
Just twiddle with the files in the game now, I imagine you can edit the pictures of the guns as well.

Yeah. I've done all sorts of stuff.
Near immortal people that only die when you knock their heads off.
Blood shoots out hard enough to knock people over.
Rockets that can fly through the ground.
Long Cannons that shoot through cement.
I added a sand bag barrier to the main arena.
Bullet wounds heal the robot.
There is an easy trick to make the pistols and smgs shoot out human skulls.

Lasers don't seem to be practical since the damage things do seems to be determined by mass, size, velocity, and sharpness. A laser blast heavy enough to do damage would knock the person firing it back. It would also sink towards the ground. Maybe DM will add a special object for that later on.

I still like my idea for feces throwing chimp-bots 
Another idea I thought was good was an 'anti-philosophers stone' which turns gold into lead, or dirt.

This is an altered frag grenade entry. Go to actors.txt and search for "robot 1" then scroll down until you see "#List of HeldDevice:s in inventory" Add Code: TDExplosive
%Shuriken
TDExplosive
%Shuriken
TDExplosive
%Shuriken
Add the attached shuriken.bmp to your "Base.rte\Devices\" folder
You're done.
Robots now have 3 shuriken in their inventory.
Guns are more difficult.
You need to define the rounds and magazines as well.
I'll do them later.
EDIt: for the feces throwing thing just change the bitmap and lower the sharpness.

The idea was that there was a gun that launched AI-Chimps

Well first we need AI before we get smart weapons.
I've been trying to make melee weapons, but it seems sharpness is ignored when the weapon is being held.
In another post I said that it wasn't possible to make a laser weapon.
I actually found a way to do it, but there is a problem with ricochets.
You just disable the weapon shake and set the particle trail length to a high value, its mass to a very low value, its sharpness to a very high value, and its firing speed to a high value.

Whoa now people, getting a little anxious are we?! The in-game editors are planned for release... sometime in the future yaknow. 
Seriously though, this is why I commented the data files as much as I did... I know there are places where it's a little spotty, but you seem to have figured it out anyway.. good job.
I'm also thinking hard about changing the data format to XML instead of the current fragile system.. It'll make it easier to edit the data without crashing upon loading all the time. I'll be sure to write a converter app for that though if and when the time comes.
So many things to do...

Terrain object (bunkers)'s placement are defined in the scene file.
Hah the frag grenade thing has never been tried.. i'll check it out eventually.

How can I increase the rocket's thrusting power/acceleration? Could somebody help me in this?

well... you could allways make the thrust stronger by making the weapons lighter...
