I bet you're getting really fucking excited about this after reading through all those boring things about factions and gods huh? Anyways here is some basic stuff you should know before going in.
Flavour: Attacking with weapons is not all that restricted. Just stay within reason and adhere to instructions of staff.
What is AP?: AP stands for armor penetration value. Certain types of armor or vehicles have AP values above 2, meaning they are completely resistant to attacks from weapons with a AP below its own. If your weapon's AP matches or exceeds the AP value of the armor you're targeting, then it will be able to do damage.
When the AP of a weapon passes the value of 5, one can instead use +1 in the oriented stat value.
Attacks per round: A good thumb rule for how many times you can fire your favorite toy by standard. Bolt-action: 1 per round. Semi-auto: 2. Burst: 3-4. Auto: 5-10. You're allowed to exceed but only when circumstances would allow it, such as when firing down on groups without aiming or when delivering the finishing blow to a boss. Smaller weapons such as pistols and sub-machine guns have a higher fire rate due to their low recoil.
Reloading: Reloading takes a full round, but can take less when you have a high DEX.
Dualwielding: When dualwielding weapons, you can fire off bullets twice as fast but also with much less accuracy.
Only one-handed weapons can be dualwielded
Custom weaponry: Custom weaponry can be made through professions such as gunsmiths and blacksmiths.
Loadout: Although you can only have two weapons. A two-handed and a one-handed, you will always be equipped with a knife on the side of these weapons. Some weapons such as melee weapons and submachine guns can double as one-handed or two-handed. It is possible to hold two one-handed weapons instead, just in case if you plan to dual-wield or simply prefer one-handed weapons.
Layman's introduction to weapons
Knives
Fixed blade knives
The most common and reliable type of knife you can find. 'Fixed blade' means the knife's blade is a singular piece of metal that goes from the tip all the way down into the hilt (the part of the knife you can hold). Due to this specific method of construction, the knife is very reliable and sturdy.
Folded blade knives
Unlike the fixed blade, a folded blade has moving parts. This is for the intention of making the knife smaller and folding it into the hilt to prevent it from cutting anything by accident. This abbility to become smaller makes it easy to hide. But due to less sturdy fixation of the blade and the moving parts required for such a mechanism, it can be less reliable and easier to break.
Spring-action knives
Compareable to folded knives, these knives can be retracted or extended from the hilt. The difference is that these knives work on springs, which gives it both the advantage of faster deployment over a folded knife, but also more moving parts which means it is easier to break and requires more upkeep.
Remember: More moving parts = less reliable + more upkeep.
Swords
Northern-european
Swords come in MANY shapes and sizes. The important part to remember about them is what region their design comes from.
Northern-european are one of the most trade-mark swords in the world. Their designs can be dumbed down to two eras. The medieval style; A straight, double edged blade with a straight crossguard at the hilt (AKA Crucifix form). And the renaissance style; A curved sabre, or very thin straight blade with elaborate handguard. (Sabres and rapiers)
Medieval styled swords are generally very reliable, weighing anywhere between a few hundred grams to 2.5 kg. They were made to clash with heavy armour, meaning they are capable of both stabbing into exposed spots as well as clamour against the steel of the armour with the blade for extended periods of time without dulling too much.
Bastard swords and longswords are often confused. Bastard swords - or 'one-and-a-half swords' - are made to have a hilt where one can hold the sword both one-handed or two-handed, with a weight to respect both manners of wielding. This is contrary to the popular belief that bastardswords are exclusively two-handed. Longswords are exclusively two-handed weapons, contrary to the popular belief that they are one-handed/two-handed weapons.
Sabres and rapiers became more popular in the rennaisance respectively with how less common heavy armour became. With no longer any need to get through steel, the swords were instead made to focus on less resilient targets. Sabres were perfect for cavalry, as their curved blades made for excellent slashing from elevated positions. The rapiers on the other side were considered a sophisticated weapon, being incredibly sharp but also incredibly fragile. Their blades have the abbility to bend very easily, which is to blame for their composition which heavily favoured sharpness over being hard, solid pieces of steel.
Japanese
Japanese are famous for their weapons, for which hollywood is largely to blame. Weapons like the katana are immediately recogniseable as 'the samurai sword' with its slightly curved and razorsharp blade.
Katana's and their varrying differently named siblings are all generally made with the same design in mind. A slight curve for enhanced cutting, a sharp tip, and an equally sharp edge. In japan, where iron was a rare resource, armour often consisted of leather and wood, if there was any to speak off at all. Besides this, only the rich and well trained could manage getting their hands on these weapons. This accumilated to the weapon being designed for a very specific type of battle; Cutting down as many untrained and unarmoured targets as possible, whilst keeping the cost of metal to a minimum. This made for the slashing edge, and questionable durability (they were very durable, but only if handled properly. An untrained swordsman would likely break/chip them in a few slashes, while a trained samurai could use them for hours continuously without chipping.)
The term "folded over a thousand times" comes from the metallurgy process of making the blades that required folding the blade over repeatedly. This was to both spare expenses of production, and to assure the composition of the blade to be very sharp without it becoming too wiggly like a rapier would.
Blunt
Axes
Axes are a bit weird. They're somewhere in between blunt weapons and swords. They're.... Bladed weapons that are used the same way blunts are.
They come in three forms. The one-handed hatchets. One/two handed axes. And two-handed greataxes. They all work in quite the same manner: Chop. They barely every have any kind of stabbing abbility. But due to their weight, sharpness, and locational density, they make for superior slashing weapons.
Flail
Flail's are a weird subject of blunt weaponry. They work with a chain or rope, having a hilt on one end and a ball or spiked blunt on the other hand. Using the power of centrifugal force, these weapns can stike very hard, but they do poorly in repeated attacks when not in properly trained hands.
Hammers
The difference between a hammer and a mace is the focuspoint. A mace will be able to deploy blunt trauma equally effectiv at every angle of the weapon. But the hammer is made to specifically hit with one or multiple angles. This makes them far more capable at piercing armour (rather than dent it) but also implicates less wieldiness.
Mace
Maces (and batons) are the gold standard of blunt weapons. That's for a reason. They're easy to use, effective, potentially non-lethal and very easily made. You can make just about any object into a mace. Bunch of broken twigs? Wind them together! Scrap metal? Take a pipe and you have a baton! Literally just water? Freeze that shit and pummel your enemy to death with added ice damage!
Of course, the best maces are the actual forged ones. With a ball or multi-spiked blunt at the end of a fixed rod. They can have varrying sizes and wieldings, but regardless are devestating when put in the hands of someone with brutish power.
Polearms
Spears
A basic weapon, considered to be the first ever weapons to be made and used by viro. The premice is simple; Take a knife, stick it on the end of a long stick. Boom, you now have a knife with superior range; A spear. The use requires two hands, with stabbing motions to be the favoured method.
Staves
There exists a common saying about polearms "Easy to wield, hard to master" and that isn't for nothing. Polearms in general require a great amount of training and practice to properly master their use. The basics are simple; Aim and stab. But a master will have to know how to have his boyd and the weapon become one, requiring elaborate athletics and dexterity to properly deflect and retaliate. The curve between polearms being unwieldy, long sticks and them being agile, inventive weapons is amazing. Staves are the perfect example of this, being the blunt version of a spear, they require the utmost precision and agility to perform well.
Halberds
Long axes. It sounds easy, but it is generally considered the most difficult melee weapon to wield and master. It is generally unbalanced, requiring both strength and agility. It has fighting techniques entirely unique and unlike those of any other weapon. And finally, it is devestatingly capable.
Shields
Mundane shields
Shields come in many different shapes and sizes. Generally divided into three categories: Small shields (bucklers) medium shields (kite, cavalry, parma shields) great shields (tower, round shields).
Small shields are often used by duelists, though not many of these can be found anymore... They were made to be excellent at deflecting melee attacks, and very light to wield.
Medium shields like the kite shield - which is named after its kite shape - or the cavalry shield are decently sized shields. They can't cover the entire body, unless one takes a knee and cowls in their head. But this lack of cover also means more wieldiness, making them both capable at protecting the wielding and deflecting attacks by not sacrificing too much movement.
Large shields are able to cover the entire of a wielder's front when held against the ground. The tower shield is an excellent example of this; forming a rectangular shape to cover the entire body and works best in formations joined by other tower shields (preferrably while also wielding spears). Round shields, really big ones that is, are regularly wielded by arrior's spartans. Large metal hunks that bounce just about anything off due to their rounded shape both two dimensionally and three dimensionally.
Pistols
Generally, pistols are semi-automatic, gas-operated sidearms. Used as a one-handed weapon that can be drawn when main weaponry like assault rifles fall empty. They exceed in close ranges, being both easily handled and light weight. But their short barrel makes their aiming much more challenging. They generally have low calibres like 9mm and 10mm.
Revolvers
Cylinder-based sidearms. Revolvers tend to be a bit heavier of calibre than pistols, and contain less ammo. The reloading also goes slower, provided one does not have clip-loaders.
Revolvers, due to their significantly lower amount of moving parts compared to pistols, are much more reliable in the field.
Revolvers come in single-action and double-action. Double action eludes to the two actions a user must make to fire a round. First is the cocking back of the hammer, second is the pulling of the trigger. In the case of single-action, the cocking back of the hammer is performed by a gas-operating system compearable to that of pistols. This makes it faster to fire, but also harder to maintain.
Crossbows
The more modern interpretation of a bow. Crossbows are mechanically wielded small bows, allowing one to have a string with far more attention by holding the string in place with a metal loader, whilst also using this same loader to pre-pull the bolt.
Crossbows use bolts, a smaller version of arrows, to fit their structure. They hit harder than bows, but also have less piercing ability.
Bows
A staple of hunting. Bows have been around for a LONG time, and have been used both in hunting and warfare to great extent. The concept is simple; A bending stick with a string going from one end to the other. Create tension on the string by pulling a pointy stick against it, then watch as the string recoils the pointy stick into long distance.
There are many kinds of bows. Recurve, which stick to the simplistic bending wood design. Composite, which has multiple parts to reinforce the bending of the bow without asking too much of the wielder (making them faster to fire). And finally the long/greatbows which make use of absurd size to cause absurd damage and range.
Assault rifles (and carbines)
Assault rifles are two-handed weapons made to be the main armnament of soldiers for means of warfare. With a decent range, multiple firing modes, and relatively large magazine size,
Rifles
Be they semi-automatic marksman rifles, or bolt-action snipers. Rifles are generally high calibre long range weapons meant for ending long distance relationships with the pull of a trigger.
Submachine guns
The sub in submachine stands for the lower calibre ammunition these weapons use to distinguish themselves from assault rifles. They are generally meant for short range engagements, and fire at surprisingly high speed. Due to their decreased size, they make for easy maneuvering.
Shotgun
Shotguns are known for their devestating close-quarters capabilities. Be it semi-auto, pump action or full auto. The shotgun's surprising calibre will surprise anyone.
Shotguns, as mentioned, come in three variants. Semi-auto, which features a gas-operated firing mechanism. Pump-action, which requires a pump of the bolt with each shot fired to load in the next shell. And automatic, which i think should be in the geneva convention.
It is commonly thought that shotguns have a wide spread. But unless you're talking about sawed off shotguns, this really isn't all that bad at close range. Depending on the type of shell used, they can also be effective at medium ranges.
The big advantage on shotguns however isnt in the close quarter devestation. It is in the highly modifiable ammo ranges they can use. Due to their large rifling and moddable ammunition chambers, shotguns make for very versatile weapons.
Machine guns
Ranging from the small arms light machine gun to the heavy arms gatling guns, machine guns are automatic, have a heavy calibre, and do a lot of damage. They're usually used for surpression in means of warfare, or for taking down especially large monsters. Their medium to long range and giant ammunition boxes make them excellent to this regard. But they're horribly unwieldy in close quarters.
Catalysts
Magical weaponry, manufactured to suit the needs of mages by inducing crystals into artifacts like caalysts.
Crystalline weaponry
Firearms that have enchanted hammers and crystals instead of bullets. These weapons work on a cyclicable basis; Having two magazines rather than one. One is loaded with active mana crystals that have been particularly veilled down to fit the specifications of the firearm, while the second magazine is empty. With every shot, a crystal from the loaded chamber is cycled into the empty chamber. Once empty, the user can recharge the empty magazine using their own aura as a source of fuel, by directing mirrahs into the now empty crystals. Once recharged, the magazines are switched out and the firearm is ready for fire once again. This makes their ammunition effectively infinite.
Crystalline weaponry is enchanted with specific LVL 1 projectile spells. Their element - and thus their damage - varies entirely based on what enchantment is instilled on the hammer.

DEX oriented weapon. AP 3. Journeyman blacksmith spear.
Partisan - A polearm with broad spearpoint. The body of the spear is made from carbon, while the spearhead and counterweight are titanite. This spear, originally made in russia as a weapon for the infantry, is nowadays being used in armies by melee fighters. Avians are most commonly see using these long weapons that allow to make fighting from the sky easier. The spearhead bears two protrusions on the side for blocking and parrying. A two-handed weapon.

Bec du Corbin - The pointy love child between a poleaxe and Warhammer, this 1.8 meter polearm has a wicked long spike on the top, a hammerhead in the front, and a curved spike on the back. It will pierce and stab through armor with ease, while remaining a safe distance away. Naturally, it's up to you to decide whether you want to a two-handed weapon that can do work against armor, or use a sword and flashily die when you're up against an APC.
STR oriented weapon. AP 4.
Fauchard mkII - This spear, often mistaken for a sword tied on a stick, is a modernized version of an older 13th century spear that was the weapon of choice by French soldiers who used swords rather than spears, but wanted to get used to the idea of a spear. Its length is typically 1.68 meters with both the pole and the blade combined. Overall a great starting spear for people who go down this route because of the weight of the sword and thickness of the actual pole. Here is where things get mark 2 instead of just using the original idea. The metal used to make this thing is titanite rather than iron, making it far lighter than the original. Many people prefer using Iron spears because the weight helps with dealing damage, but the titanite version is good for higher piercing and easier throwing. Both options are available through through crafting and purchase.
DEX oriented when melee. PER oriented when throwing. AP 3.
Trident - Exactly as it says, a trident is a three bladed spear, each blade on the end, the two outer blades in a U shape with a single blade between them. This weapon is not for beginners with spears as the weapon itself was designed after a pitchfork was used to impale and kill several dire wolves by a farmer who had finally had enough of them attacking his flock. The trident itself has incredible weight, making it deadly when thrown, but hard to throw or aim in the first place. At 1.9 meters long, made completely of iron, the last place you want to be when interacting with this beast is on the business end of it. Mid level polearm.
DEX oriented weapon. AP 3. Apprentice blacksmithing skill.
Halberd - here is a spear that many people have heard of, but not so many know what it actually is. Occasionally confused with the great axe, a halberd is basically a single sided axe on a pole, it is about 1.8 meters in length. A spear tip on the end of it, and a hook like curve on the back for grabbing enemies from higher ground, thus thing has it all. Actually much harder to throw because of its shape, the halberd is often used for melee combat mixing chopping movements with thrusting movements to tear your enemy to shreds. It isn't nearly as difficult to use as other spears, but its still a challenging weapon to master. As a small note, Zerna and her priests both have a strong preference to this weapon, making it often times called the polearm of light. Mid level polearm.
DEX oriented weapon in melee. STR and PER oriented weapon when thrown. AP 4. Journeyman blacksmith skill.
Scythe - This weapon was originally created as a tool to harvest crops. However, when wielded by one with great skill, this menacing harvester's tool is turned into a lethal weapon. With high armour penetration capability due to its long side-swiping blade that strikes at the weakest of armour points and long range.
DEX oriented weapon. AP 4. Journeyman blacksmith polearm.
The tank - this spear is a monster. Literally. The tank is a special spear created by using the bones of deceased monsters. The bones needed are very specific, they cant just be common monster bones. The end product depending on which bones were used, tends to be a spear with three basilisk teeth, the other end has the drakes horn sharpened and straightened, and an elks skull with the antlers sharpened to resemble a great axe near the teeth. The name comes from its extreme damage at melee range and high durability in combat. Throwing it takes soke effort, but once its flying, it has incredible power, as well as the ability to pierce nearly every armor, be it body or vehicle. If someone comes towards you holding this weapon, you won't be walking away. High level polearm.

DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 1.
SPP-1 - This pistol, while also having a very funny name, is made to be fired underwater. Pretty much what you want as a sidearm when you really like fighting sea creatures with guns. Using darts rather than traditional bullets, it has the same effect as Dart Magazines, but without the lower range. Only problem is that it has four barrels, which each house a single round, meaning you only have 4 shots before you have to reload. Sadly, you can’t attach any modifications to it.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 2.
Hushpuppy - A bolt-action pistol, made to fire tranquillizer darts with a gas-operated firing mechanism. It holds a 8 bullet magazine and can be modded. Even though the pistol fires darts, it still uses a miniature explosion firing mechanism like other pistols. Thus it can still be heard loud and clear when shot unless if silenced with a muffler.
Warning: not to be used as dog tranquilliser

Five-Seven - A more capable pistol for the interested soldiers of UAF and designed to be its mid level sidearm issued to the soldiers that surpass R5.

DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 2.
Bayo-357 - The average .357 magnum but with a curved blade attached to the handle. This is a custom version of the .357 that requires patience, high skill, and a few cuts on the forearms from playing with these bad boys. The blade itself is made of titanite, and can come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the blacksmith who makes it. The blade curves around underneath the gun to allow for quick melee attacks mixed into the fire fight. The design is set up to trade out bullets fired for melee slashes, and adding in an extra attack per turn if the shooter finishes with a slash attack.
STR and DEX oriented weapon. AP 2. Apprentice gunsmith weapon.
Taurus Judge - In case you want to kill something really badly, but .44 magnum was just a little too much for you, this thing fires .410 shotgun shells in a bite-sized package. Holds 5 rounds.
STR and DEX oriented weapon. AP 2.
Chiappa Rhino - A very unique .357 revolver, which has its barrel at the 6-o-clock position at the bottom of the cylinder, rather than at the top like most revolvers. That means recoil is much more manageable, and thus rapid fire being very controllable - if you can manage to rapid fire the damn thing in the first place, given how heavy the trigger is.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 2
.44 magnum - If you are planning on killing someone beyond death, then this is the revolver for you.

It can be modded, and holds 6 bullets.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
.45 revolver - The simple, yet capable revolver, capable of firing high calibre munition from a old fashioned six shooter.

DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 4.
Tri-shot revolver - The tri-shot revolver is similar to a basic revolver in how it fires and reloads. The only difference is that the there are 3 barrels, and 15 holes in the cylinder for bullets. Rather than firing a single shot at a time, it fires 3 and simultaneously to do triple damage of a regular revolver. It is styled after the .357 revolver.
STR oriented weapon. AP 3.STR oriented weapon. AP 3.
Model 500 - The highest calibre revolver made by Smith & Wesson. Made especially for those common circumstances where a burglar is standing behind a fridge in your neighbours house but a tank is just rolling through the street between you and the house. Just take the model 500, sit down on your porch and enjoy a nice beer while you casually gun down said burglar just when he thought he was safe. Uses .50 bullets of which it fits 5 in its revolver.

.60 Zeliska - Some people argue that a gun firing off rounds that surpass the calibre used in anti-materiel rifles is overkill and really shouldn't be a one-handed weapon. But in a world where horrid creatures such as dragons and communist roam freely, nothing is overkill. Introducing the .600 Nitro express Zeliska revolver. It weighs quite a bit, but can still hold 6 bullets in its system. It has to be loaded with each bullet individually though, which is good since the bullets themselves are bigger than your whole hand were you to grab one.

Recurve crossbow - The simplest model of crossbow, but that makes them the cheapest too. The recurve is hard to draw for some, but fires all the same. All the same being a comparison to models from the 12th century. At least they make less noise that guns do. Two-handed weapon.
PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
Composite crossbow - The more modern version of the crossbow, which holds reels on the bow to make reloading go easier. The composite handles easier and above all faster, allowing it to fire and reload in one round. (Each action takes up half a round) The model also looks a lot less like it was salvaged from a castle. Two-handed weapon.
PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
60lbs handheld - The 60lbs hand held is a one-handed crossbow with immense stopping power and piercing value. Its silent shots, armor piercing value and easy use have made it the preferred weapon of many assassins. its only drawback is the drawback (reloading speed). The model used for this handheld crossbow is recurve, meaning it holds similair reload speed. One-handed weapon.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
Reverse draw - The reverse draw is a special edition of the composite crossbow which boasts an inverted draw system. This allows for the crossbow to hold much more power to its shot without sacrificing much reloading speed. It reloads much like the recurve, taking one round to fire and one to reload. It also looks 'skinnier', having the bows stroked back along the side of the body rather than forming an actual cross when not loaded. Two-handed weapon.
PER oriented weapon. AP 4.
Carbonlight - A superbly light feeling crossbow with the stopping power close to a ballista. The bow is made in such a way as to make sure the bolt remains unharmed after being shot, meaning bolts fired by a carbonlight can be retrieved and re-used almost infinitely. Aside from this, the carbonlight looks a lot like the composite crossbow. Two-handed weapon.
PER oriented weapon. AP 4.
120lbs handheld - The 120lbs handheld is a one-handed crossbow with incredible stopping power. Drawing the crossbow takes quite some power, and thus it is only advised someone with a strong arm uses it. Reloading it takes a mighty two rounds, but its hitting damage makes it worth the wait.

The bow is made to be able to be fitted with attachments. Two-handed weapon.
PER oriented weapon. AP 2.
Short bow - An easy-draw bow known for its high rate of fire and agile use. This model of bow can fire and reload twice per round. Due to the short draw and light power, the shortbow does not boast a very impressive range. The bow works similair to a reverse draw crossbow, having not only the reels on the bow but also the bow itself pull back far to give in with the draw of the user. Two-handed weapon.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 1.
Decapitating Bow - This bow is similar in design to a composite bow but has some significant differences. For one, the limbs of the bow is outfitted with blades and is designed to also be functional as a melee weapon, and secondly, it comes with a set of bladed arrows, that have the ability to potentially decapitate an enemy. It takes half a round to fire, as does redrawing an arrow.

FAMAS G2 - This French bullpup rifle is notable for being a full-size assault rifle firing at SMG-esque rate of fire and not being an entirely uncontrollable piece of crap. And, unlike older versions of itself, it’s not a piece of crap in (most) other ways, either. Don’t expect to set any records with this thing, though.

STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
AK-74n - The larger brother of the AK-74u and far cousin of the AK-47. A stronger, better assault rifle, considered a mid level AR for Xerna soldiers. People might say russian manufactors have no creativity when it comes to these gas-operated guns and those people are probably right. Regardless, the design works good and doesn't jam if a little water gets on. That already raises it above the AR's which are obviously not overused designs. *cough* sarcasm *cough*.

The exception being that there is a mag both in the back, and in the front side of the rifle. Each time the trigger is pulled, a crystal is expended to fire a spell, and the empty crystal is loaded into the backside magazine.

Its underbarrel carries 8 shells.
STR oriented weaponry. AP 3.
Saiga-12 - The saiga is a magnificent piece of magazine loaded shotgun excellence. It comes with an automatic, gas operated bolt to fire off shells. It can be equipped with both 12 gauge and 20 gauge shells, which both can do quite the blasting. Uses 10 round magazines.

STR oriented weaponry. AP 3.
KSG - The SRT's shotgun, issued to its vanguards, and shared to ADF. This pump-action shotgun is mostly used by guards and patrols. The KSG is based off the bullpup design, giving it a longer barrel by putting the loader behind the trigger.

STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
XM806 - A big ass gun. It isn't actually meant to be carried, but it doesn't stop the SRT soldiers from trying. Those that succeed are pretty dangerous. Why?

STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
Mini-vulcan - A carryable version of the M61 Vulcan. Yes, that's right. A gatling gun that you can hold in your two hands, walk around with, and shoot people with. Let's be honest here, this shit sells itself. Oh and it has a 500 bullet box. SPR loves walking through elf villages with these.

STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5.
RPG-7 - Let's be honest here- if a movie includes terrorists and any amount of AK-47, you will have seen this piece of rocket slinging machinery. Which is means it is definitely suited for Xerna.

STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5. Can only be fired at airborne vehicles.
Javelin launcher - No, this thing doesn't throw spears.
It's far, far worse. And way more expesensive.
This launcher locks onto a vehicle, shoots out a missile right into the air vertically. After this, it comes down in an arch onto nit's target much like a mortar, but with infrared targetting. Due to the fact that most vehicles are weakest in terms of armour on the topside of their body, this method is incredibly powerful. It costs a small 100.000 dolla- Holy shit. 100.000 dollars? Does anybody even make that much money in here?

Gunblade - A fairly simple bastard sword, with the exception that the crossguard has a trigger mechanism at the hilt side. Paired with a revolving loading mechanism, this construction allows it to fire off .32 bullets as well. A great solution for dealing with ranged targets as a swordsman.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 2.
Jackhammer - A rendition of the gunblade, except this badboy doesn't care about actually extending your range. By slapping a blunderbuss onto a stick, you get this terrifying sledgehammer that lets off a shotgun blast with every hit. Careful with the recoil...
STR oriented weapon. AP 4.
Greatwhip - Flamberge are good swords and all. But wouldn't those wiggly blades be cooler if they could actually wiggle? Well, if you tap the back of your Greatwhips hilt hard enough, this contraption will extend into a heavy whip. Excellent for clearing out an entire room with a single slash.
STR and DEX oriented weapon. AP 3 in sword mode, AP 2 in whip mode.
Case-and-point - This nifty little submachine gun is made to be folded into the exact shape of a regular, businessman's suitcase. Simply fold it out and you have yourself a 20 bullet bullpup submachine gun with built in supressor.

Carnage - At face-value, this might seem like a regular shotgun. The catch here is its 4 gauge ammunition; and for the people among us who don't know how gauge works... Basically, the smaller the number, the closer you get to a howitzer. Like its gauge, it only fits 4 slugs, but damn are those slugs heavy.

Boombox - A typical 80's style boombox. Except its actually just a modern boombox taped to a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. Comes with two shots before needing to reload, and acts as a bard catalyst. Can carry up to 6 additional missiles.
STR and EMO oriented catalyst. AP 5. Explosive damage. +1 to bard skill status boosts.
Umber-ella - Though it looks to be nothing more than an umbrella at the surface, this is actually a multifunctional catalyst that doubles as sword. The device consists of three parts. The blade with typical umbrella-like handle. The magi-shield, which looks every part like an umbrella, but which can deploy serrated edges. This shield is made entirely from magnesium lined titanite and is functional both as a physical shield and a modifier for support spells. Finally, the sheath serves as a modifier, activated only when both sword and shield are returned to it. In this state it can deploy an advanced magic shield with the capacity to collect blocked spells and projectiles. Upon drawing the ' umbrella' back, it will fold over as if broken by a hard wind. This mode however does not break the umbrella, but rather turns it into a canon which can fire back absorbed damage in a focussed beam. Doing this however requires a 3 round recharge. Alternatively, one can unsheathe the sword after absorption and gain additional elemental damage depending on absorbed spells.
Sword: DEX oriented one-handed weapon. Does slashing and stabbing damage. AP 3.

Humour of pain - A long metallic polearm with several different deployment variations. Coming in the original form of a sleek titanite pole with a larger ball at each end. The balls can deploy spikes, and the polearm can be snapped in half to form two one-handed maces instead, Its different forms of deployment come with different status effects. In its Melancholy form, the weighted bals serve as heavy hitting, bone breaking instruments. Deploying the spikes causes the sanguine form to rend flesh especially well, causing enhanced bleeding on victims. In its non-spiked dual wielding form, pleghmatic, it deploys internal rotors which will have captured static electricity from movement and transform the steel balls into tesla-coil esque charged weapons. Finally the choleric form deploys the spikes, now each infused with poison from internal storage.
All forms - STR oriented weapon.
Melancholy - Two-handed, does blunt damage. Enhanced chance to cause bone breaks. AP 5
Sanguine - Two-handed, does blunt damage. Minor/moderate bleeding damage. AP 4
Pleghmatic - 2x One handed, does blunt and shock damage. AP 4
Choleric - 2x One handed, does blunt damage. Minor poison damage. AP 3.
Handyman - A 1 metre long stick of heavily magically infused steel. Though plain on the surface, this weapon is actually incredible versatile, as it can be made to deploy unholy earth magic in order to morph.

Mech weapons are, essentially, guns ripped off of broken down tanks, given a lick of paint and a nice design, then handed over to a mech. Great business model. Often, these things are also strapped onto dragons for an additonal kick.
Hand cannon - The most literal interpretation of a hand cannon, this automatic pistol uses 20mm non-explosive rounds. With 10 rounds in every mag, the average mech carries about 3 additional mags.
DEX oriented weapons. AP 4.
M-MGL - A 40mm revolver. This weapon, in essence, is just a better looking supersized MGL. But its a devestating weapon at that.
STR oriented weapon. AP 5. Does explosive damage.
Carbinus 04 - A mech-carbine, made with an aut-loading 90mm cannon. This rifle shoots semi-automatically, with a surprising range. Comes with 20 rounds per mag, the average mech carries four mags.
PER oriented weapon. AP 5.
L-RAD - The mech version of a sniper rifle, this weapon was made by taking a T-90 apart, and bringing the turret back together in the rough shape of a rifle. It's name stands for Long-Range Asset Destroyer. Needs to be reloaded with every shot, but sports a massive amount of damage. Comes with 20 shells.
PER oriented weapon. AP 5. Does explosive damage.
Backburner - A back-mounted 75mm howitzer that allows the mech to be turned into a long range artillery weapon. It works best as an anti-infantry weapon, due to its large explosive radius and splash damage, but lack of armour piercing abbility. Comes with 20 shells.
PER oriented weapon. AP 4. Does explosive damage.
Hispanica - No, it's not a slur for mexican. The Hispanica is essentially a rotary machinegun made with Hispano 20mm cannons tied together fourfold. It fires at a high rate, and carry 100 shells per box-mag. A mech will carry two additional mags.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 4.
