User blog:Gundam Legilis/Volume 1 Weapons In Depth- Magnhild

Hello everybody! Today, we'll have "smashing" fun with Magnhild!

Magnhild is a cross between a 40 mm grenade launcher and a giant war hammer.

Advantages: Magnhild has excellent damage and range against tougher Grimm. Its transformation is quick and simple.

Disadvantages: The grenade launcher form is ill advised in close range. Switch to the hammer instead, if you don't want to get hurt. The weapon offers no defense at all, except when attempting to parry with the hammer shaft. In grenade launcher mode, good depth perception and vision are needed to aim Magnhild properly. I'm concerned with Magnhild getting cut in half at the shaft in hammer mode due to its transformation sequence. Caution is advised for other users of Magnhild in hammer mode; the impact may affect the user. And I find it slightly ridiculous how Magnhild does not explode when firing a round and smashing the Hammer at the same time. You are basically firing an explosive when the hammer and barrel are plugged against a flat surface or a Grimm hide; something's gotta give, and Magnhild will blow. Think of it as firing a powerful water gun with a blocked barrel.

Magnhild is a nice weapon. Be careful; its impracticalities may harm its users.

Stay tuned for next time, where we cover Wilt and Blush.
