Proof of concept idea: A sword with a powerful electromagnet for the core and the "blade" will be made of some kind of razor sharp flechettes. The sword decreases the strength of the magnet and embeds the flechettes in foes. Then the magnet goes full power and tears the flechettes back out of poor SOB and surround the sword again.

If this sounds insanely difficult or expensive, it's supposed to be. It's being developed by A.D.E.W., my headcanon version of Atlas' DARPA. I would just like feedback on the general possibility of such a weapon and it's applications. Besides being Jack the literal Ripper.
