Exotic Weaponry

Melee Weapons


Battle Fangs
Description: Generally in a combat situation one doesn't try to actually bite their enemies. Unless they're wearing these. Battle fangs aren't much of a primary weapon, more of a paws-free sidearm. They're a pair of steel, non-serrated, non-barbed, spike-like artificial fangs which attach to a steel bar molded to fit the upper row of teeth of the wearer, and a shorter-fanged version for the bottom row. It's not recommended that venom be applied to these, because even though venom only works when it enters the bloodstream, not when ingested, an open wound anywhere in the wearer's digestive tract has a lethal potential. Instead, they should be used on a part of the target's body which is easy to get one's jaws around and would result in the death of the target if seriously breached, almost always the throat. The bottom two fangs aren't sharpened nearly as much as the top ones, because they aren't supposed to pierce the target's skin. Rather, they act as a holding point for the top fangs, because otherwise the muscles in the jaw couldn't really be used to punch the top fangs through the flesh of the target and into a major blood vessel. There are four deep blood channels running through each top fang because even though the fangs are highly reusable they wouldn't be any good if the wounds weren't bleeding right up until the wearer pulled their fangs back out. Available in stainless steel, chrome-plated, matte-white, matte-black, matte blood red, white gloss, black gloss, blood red gloss or blued steel.


Crescent Moons
Description: The crescent moons are a pair of curved blades which resemble protractors at 270 degrees rather than 180. The inner two metal arms connecting the two ends of the crescent at a right angle are separated by a 45-degree handle 6.5 inches long. The blades are non-serrated and excellent for slashing attacks, although the two right angles on each do have somewhat limited but nonetheless present armor-piercing capability. Available with stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray or blued steel blades and white, gray, black, blue, red or yellow grip cloth.


Elbow Daggers
Description: A rather odd weapon. These are steel dagger-like blades which one straps onto their upper arm and carry at their elbow. It should be worn so that when the arm is flexed, the blade protrudes past the joint, not very difficult since each blade is some 6.5 inches long. They are each 1.25 inches wide and are not barbed, serrated or capable of carrying most poisons because they are generally worn directly against the flesh and accidents with these are common if misused. They generally don't require any attention during a fight if they have been put on correctly and make a deadly weapon in paw-to-paw combat. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black or blued steel.


Fighting Chain
Description: The fighting chain is a length of heavy utility-grade chain 60 inches long. Either end of the chain finishes with a spiked, weighted head, allowing the chain to be used as a dual close-quarter weapon or a longer, single flail. The heads are heavily spiked but their weight gives them much momentum, giving them a good balance between armor-piercing capability and shock on impact. Since the chain can move and pivot in any direction, little effort is required to make a particularly powerful strike--- all one needs to do is twirl the chain faster and the weight does the rest. All chain links have been welded shut and the length of it can withstand over 250 pounds pulling it taut. Available in stainless steel, chrome, gold plating, matte black, matte gray or blued steel.


Hand Pick
Description: The hand pick is essentially a sized-down war hammer. Most of it is solid metal, with a shaft approximately the same length as the handle--- 6 inches--- leading to a long, thin cylinder of steel-capped aluminum. One side ends in a diamond cap which serves as an adamant shock weapon, capable of fracturing an unprotected skull with no difficulty, and the other ends in a curved-downward pickaxe-like tip which can punch through a target's helmet and skull and still have enough force behind it to decommission the brain. The hand pick is a reliable, multi-purpose sidearm which will never fail to get in that one life-saving crucial strike. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte gray, matte black and blued steel.


Palm Dagger
Description: The palm dagger is a small, compact assassin's weapon. It consists of a single-bladed, pointed matte black steel-edged aluminum blade 5.5 inches long with a small, ovoid metal base just long enough to meet either end of the blade's width and half that distance in its own width. The blade is sharpened on 4 of the 5.5 inches, and the point is finely honed. This is to allow two ways to assassinate a target--- either across the throat or between the ribs. Since the blade is rather small, it needs to be very sharp so a single short, fast, deep slash can sever whichever blood vessels the assassin desires to destroy. The point is sharp enough to cut right through the cardiac muscle of a heart right as it touches, giving the victim no time to respond in any way. There are several circular cut-outs in the blade to help reduce overall weight.


Pulverizer Gloves
Description: The name of these gloves is anything but hyperbole. They're a pair of comfortably fitting padded gloves fitted with banded steel armor, a serious paw-to-paw combat asset already, but the knuckles of the gloves carry 70-degree conical diamond spikes each 3/4 an inch long. A decent fist behind these gloves can punch a hole through even light steel plate armor, due to the weight of the gloves adding an immense force of momentum to the wearer's strikes. The fingers themselves are only lightly armored so as not to hinder dexterity, and the wearer can easily carry and operate even complex weapons without taking anything off their paws. They are buckled around the wrist with leather straps connected to the main forearm plate and since these are available in practically any size, nearly all species can wear these as a formidable backup weapon. Available in white, gray or black cloth and with stainless steel, chrome-plated, blued steel, matte gray, matte black or black gloss armor plating.


Punching Spike
Description: The punching spike is built to drive through layers of armor and still score a lethal hit. It's a solid steel conical spike 8 inches long and with a perpendicular bar .8 inches in diameter and 4 inches length welded at the very base serving as a grip. There are two corkscrewing blood channels running down the length until ending an inch away from the base. Using many qualities of the punching dagger, the punching spike can knock a hole in even a sturdy platemail cuirass and still have enough length left over to force apart a pair of ribs to get right to the lungs and heart. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, blued steel and black gloss.


Rake Sword
Description: Intended for single strikes to lightly armored or unarmored targets, the rake sword has a huge demoralizing effect on enemy forces nearby the target. In most aspects, it resembles a typical scimitar. It has a slightly curved blade measuring 3 feet, 6 inches and a hilt measuring 8 inches. The main structure is made of tempered steel, with diamond plates around the triangular prism-shaped crossguards, a clear quartz pommel and a leather-bound hilt. However, the shape of the blade is uniquely fearsome. It looks like someone took a perfectly circular cookie cutter, placed it so 1/3 of it was off the blade and 2/3 was on, and cut a hole like that nine times. The insides of the circles are barely sharpened at all, remaining nearly completely flat edges. Although it may catch on some heavier armor, the rake sword is capable of ripping through flesh and bone alike, leaving grossly mangled and torn wounds rather than easier-to-treat clean cuts. The rake sword's blade also doubles as an improvised sword breaker, although it may not be able to handle wider blades. It is easy to add liquid, powder, paste or gel poison to this weapon's blade, although if the user is trying to decrease morale regardless of moral consequences they may not want to actually kill most of their victims. Available with a stainless steel, chrome-plated or blued steel blade and a white, gray, black, red or blue handle color.


Stepped Sword
Description: A close relative of the rake sword. The stepped sword appears to be made of a dozen stacked long, thin rectangles of metal, each at a 45-degree angle and facing the opposite direction of the two above and below it. The result is a heavily barbed weapon. The blade is 2 feet, 10 inches long and is sharpened around the edges but not within the gaps between each rectangle of metal. A slash with this weapon is similar to that of the rake sword, in that it tears more than cuts and leaves very grotesque wounds. However, it's more intended for stabbing, because not only is immense damage inflicted upon each rectangle on its own cutting a unique path through a target's internal organs, but the barbs all catch on the target's flesh when the sword is pulled back out. This creates a level of damage far surpassing what is seen in slashing attacks as every single barb that was driven in comes back out tearing up the flesh it already cut through. The stepped sword has low armor-piercing capability and isn't as much of a sword breaker as the rake sword but the wounds it can inflict are devastating, whether fatal or not. Available with a stainless steel, chrome-plated, matte black or blued steel blade and white, gray, black, red, blue, dark red, dark blue, or indigo handle cloth.


Surprise Blade
Description: The surprise blade is ideal for both stealthy assassinations and a trick literally up the average fighter's sleeve. It is a leaf-spring-loaded knife 7 inches long, non-serrated, which is strapped onto a beast's wrist and triggered by pulling a thin string usually tied around a claw or the like so a flick of the paw will pop out the blade. Once deployed the blade locks into place and a button must be held down on the main frame to draw it back in. Two thin V-shaped blood channels run down each side of the blade. The blade is capable of carrying liquid, powder or paste poison and is concealable under even moderately figure-hugging sleeves due to its very thin nature. Available in a matte white, matte gray or matte black casing and a stainless steel, chrome plated, matte white, matte gray, matte black, black gloss or blued steel blade.


War Boots
Description: War boots are yet another convenient sidearm, these being for the footpaws. They carry 3-inch poison-capable steel spikes on the front of each boot, which are normally carried folded over onto the front of the instep (They're curved upwards in the deployed position so they match the contour of the boots) and deployed by pressing a toe switch inside each boot, positioned directly above the big toe and releasing a catch restraining a hair spring from turning an axle that the spike's base is attached to. Once deployed, the spikes lock into place and can only be unlocked by holding down the switch so they can be rotated back into home position. War boots are custom-built to the user so they always fit. Available with black, brown, taupe, gray, white or stained-brown leather treatment and stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, matte white, black gloss or blued steel framework and spikes.


War Hammer
Description: A thick, heavy polearm-like piece of weaponry. There are clearly two types of metal on this weapon– There is an aluminum central component for the hammer's head, and either end of the head as well as the spike at the weapon's far end is made of a darker steel. However, even with its light, wooden body with steel used only for the bludgeon end and points for either spike, it is a very heavy weapon and not great for intensive close-quarter combat, but excellent for a single kill because the bludgeon end can crush a skull or several ribs with minimal effort and the point punches through your average platemail like it's made of tissue paper. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black or blued steel.


Ranged Weapons


Bolt Repeater
Description: The second-generation bolt repeater has replaced its crank-operated precursor in the field. Instead of a crank drawing back the firing pin to launch the aluminum .475 bolt, the foregrip acts as a cocking lever, being pulled back in order to push the pin back into place and then pushed back forwards by itself to home position, where a pair of locking lugs hold it in place. Each projectile has a pair of lugs of its own, on opposite sides of the main cylinder, which lock into a pair of corkscrewing grooves inside the barrel to give it a stabilizing spin without flights. The bolt repeater is also available with or without a wooden, metal-plated or folding stock. Cleaning tools included. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, black gloss or blued steel for the main frame material and external plating individually. Also available with a wooden stock, as opposed to aluminum, to reduce overall weight.


Fire Breather
Description: This is a weapon used for pyric warfare. The main feature is a long steel tube which ends with a widened opening. At the bottom of this opening is a small pilot light fueled by a small steel capsule full of lamp oil with a short mediating wick dipping into the capsule and leading up to the light. On the other end of the tube is a piston powered by a lever held in the dominant paw and pulled backwards along the bottom of the tube. A foregrip for the other paw envelops a large steel cylinder full of refined petroleum and ultra-distilled alcohol. Upon pushing the lever forwards, the piston is pushed back and the tube fills with the flammable mixture as a valve an inch away from the pilot light closes. Pulling the lever back opens the valve and the piston is pushed forwards, forcing out the contents of the tube over the pilot light and right out the muzzle of the tubing. This means a burst of flame is "breathed" out of the tube at high velocity, the oily mixture sticking to anything it can touch before burning into nothingness. The jet of flame dissipates after around 7 feet. The containers attached allow for approximately 3 hours constant burning of the pilot light and 16 bursts of flame. Available with black, gray, white, red, orange, yellow, blue, navy blue or green handle wrapping, in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, black gloss or red gloss framework. Also available with a wooden stock, as opposed to aluminum, to reduce overall weight.


Fire Thrower
Description: A hugely effective fragmentation/incendiary paw artillery. The core design is similar to that of a repeater rifle, but without the repeating capability. It is a breech-loading shoulder-mounted ranged weapon which fires moderately thick but hollow shells of lubricated steel full of slightly pressurized oil 2.75 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length. The inside surface of these shells is steeply and sharply jagged and spiked to increase fragmentation damage. Its launcher has a spring built into the breech cap and manually drawn in with a crank that takes just over a dozen turns to retract it. Upon loading a shell into the rifled barrel, closing the cap and firing with the trigger on the pistol grip located off the bottom of the barrel, the shell is thrown forward, the rifling locking two studs on the shell and making it rotate as a pin inside the shell is punched forward by the sudden impact, bursting through the front tip of the projectile and bathing it in its own oil. To prevent the entire shell from depressurizing there is a cylindrical wall inside the shell so only the center portion of oil bursts out. It's reflected off a false front mounted over the actual one to prevent the spray from going straight forwards. This oil is ignited by a pilot light just off the front of the barrel, sending a flaming projectile at over 200 feet per second towards a target it can accurately hit at up to 150 feet, where it will burst on impact in a shower of flame-coated shards of metal, not to mention the quickly instigated fire. It is known for the signature loud crack it makes as the pin punches through the front of the shell, and by its operators for the burst of flaming oil which quickly dissipates but nonetheless follows the shell out of the barrel and must be avoided from contact with. The weapon is ambidextrous, with a straight-down pistol foregrip, and has a set of basic side-mounted flip-open sights to assist aiming. These are on both sides to allow the fire thrower to be mounted on either shoulder. Available in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, black gloss or blued steel for the main frame material and external plating individually.


Incendiary Agent
Description: An aluminum-plated glass bottle full of small iron fragments, crude petroleum, alcohol and concentrated mustard oil. The liquid components in this are compressed. It ends with a cork which has an oil-soaked fuse running through. Lighting the fuse gives approximately 4 seconds until the contents ignite, less if one throws the bottle and it breaks on something. The alcohol, oil and crude petroleum will all ignite and burst the bottle, sending the shards of iron inside in all directions. The petroleum, still in crude form, will give off a choking cloud of smoke augmented by the mustard oil's harmful nature to skin and mucus membranes when ignited. It spreads fire across a diameter of approximately 3 meters and the shards of iron maintain lethal velocity until around 15 meters.


Repeater Rifle
Description: The big brother to the bolt repeater in power and precision. Its appearance is remarkably similar to that of the original repeater, except for the magazine being fed in from under the action as opposed to over it. The repeater rifle uses aluminum cylindrical bolts .475 inches thick with steel conical tips and two studs on opposite sides of the base. These lock into a pair of corkscrewing grooves in the barrel which give the projectile a very fast spin, helping to stabilize it without flights. Since the bolts are mainly aluminum they can be loaded from underneath without an insanely powerful magazine spring, allowing for a set of integral iron sights on the top of the repeater so precise aiming is possible. The spring in this weapon is far more powerful than that of the original repeater and the crank must be turned twice to chamber and cock the weapon. Magazines are available in 5 and 10-round capacity and are detachable from the repeater to allow for fast reloading. Comes with a detachable medium-length barrel which can be removed by pressing a pair of buttons on either side of the action and swapped at any time for an included long barrel, an entire 7.5-inch difference. Available with a full wooden stock or a folding metal stock and pistol grip, and in stainless steel, chrome plating, matte black, matte gray, black gloss or blued steel for the main frame material and external plating individually. Also available in right and left pawedness. Available with a wooden stock, as opposed to aluminum, to reduce overall weight.
