I'm not sure how complicated it will be to add this, but with armories not healing armor anymore, and UWE trying to make welders play a bigger role in NS2. Welders should really be able to weld yourself, instead of relying on team mates or even macs to weld you up.
Animations shouldn't be necessary, just some simple lines of code. I'm pretty noobish when it comes to the technical workings of NS2, but if they have the time/resources to make a stun gun, then surely this is possible.
EDIT 1
My 2 cents.
Any comments would be much appreciated.

Yes, you can self weld when welding structures, but having to rely on structures getting damaged to weld yourself is ridiculous.
My 2 cents.

Thought it wouldn't really be very balanced and wouldn't be very fair.
1. Self weld must be slower (1/3 the speed of welding another player)
2. Player MUST look straight down (Leaving them vulnerable and unaware)
3. Player cannot move while self welding
Totally agree for that part. A hidden mechanic is not good. And that way you have a certain profit from damaged structure... weird.
it would be balanced, cause while self welding you cant attack things, probably wont be so mobile and you will have a restricted FOV if they add any good animations making it a risk vs reward scenario. You could be caught off guard while self welding, and you would probably die.
Increasing the switch time from self welding to a weapon could balance it out more.
If you're going to allow this you should have to remain stationary and it should be 1/3 the speed. At best.
