Your Nations Close Combat Weapon

Postby The Northwest Wind » Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:17 pm

When the deep air strike, artillery, tank fire, close air support, GPMG suppression fire, small arms direct fire, final protective fire, hand grenades and harsh language have failed to stop the enemy infantry attempting to overrun the friendly position what weapon does your nations military turn to?

For the soldiers of The Kingdom of the Northwest Wind the bayonet is used, because nothing strikes fear in to the heart of a foe like the moonlight gleaming off serried ranks of approaching bayonets.

Despite the nature of modern warfare, many Marian officers still traditionally carry swords, though it is considered optional, and many have done away with them, considering them part of parade uniform only.

Common soldiers will use anything available - bayonets, rifle butts, combat knives, axes, spades, helmets and just bare hands, feet and teeth. While not part of standard gear, many soldiers will privately purchase large non-standard knives (with the approval of their COs) or get themselves custom-made trench knives or clubs.

Whilst not a widely issued weapon, many enlisted like to keep these for close encounters.

Dagger, Knives, Swords, Maces, Flails, Axes, machetes, shotguns (alone or mounted on rifles) etc. Some soldiers imbue theirs with magical powers(same goes for guns, but definitely not as frequent as melee weapons), but most grunts do not. Usually seen with officers or a dedicated battle mage.

the staff of themnax, when too close to use its other functions, and that pretty much means nose to nose, makes a really dandy quarters staff. also a quick twist of the wrist makes the enter rest of the surface, aside from the function head and the designated handhold, approximate the temperature of a modest sun. thus making it relatively un-grab-away-able. this function is also commonly used to light camp fires.

For Shadowhunters, their close combat weapons are Seraph Blade. Each blade is named after an Angel and when the name is called the blade turns from a blunt; dull tube, into a wickedly sharp dagger.

For Werewolves, their close combat weapon is their claws.

For Vampires, their close combat weapon is their fangs.

For Warlocks, their close combat weapon is a Shepard's crook, which amplifies their magical abilities.

For Fairies, their close combat weapons are various knives.

And of course so are a lot of things like spears, swords, knifes, sharp sticks, lances, axes, shovels and clubs also used.

Bahh everyone knows that Russians are thuggish brutes without any discipline or finesse, combine that with the small size of a Slav so would the large Northman physique of the average Imerian (or even the endurance of the many Negroids living in the federation) so would our victory be all but given to us..

Like a tazer, but far more lethal. In the hands of a Pichu soldier, this already lethal weapon becomes devastating.
