The final member of Team BSDN's weapon and it's a doozy. Understood that it seems similar to Nora's weapon but it has its differences and was originally more like Junior's weapon in earlier designs.

Weapon: Banghammer (or Betty)

Name Meaning: Play on the term banhammer

Maker/Smith: Zaffre Corporation (custom made)

Type: Gas Grenade Launching Mallet (GGLM)

Weapon Derivation: Mallet, gas grenade launcher, riot gun, Joker venom, Magnhild

Design: The weapon is designed like a large cartoonish mallet with a monochromatic color scheme. It's head is mostly black with white accents while its handle has the opposite coloration. The faces of the mallets each have Melanie's symbol designed on them. Has retractable wheels in the head to make it more portable.

Holstered/Inactive Form: A portable rolling suitcase (that doesn't hold anything) Wheels come out of the head while the handle is treated as the handle to the suitcase.

Form 1: A large mallet. The wheels retract into the head and the handle straightens vertically to the head.

Form 2: A large grenade launcher that launches non-lethal gas grenades. These gas canisters unleash a stupefying gas similar to nitrous oxide AKA laughing gas. It puts those who breathe it in into drowsy, disorienting and euphoric laughing fits. This can make it very difficult to fight effectively.

Dust Capacity: Burn dust when she wants to turn her gas grenades into deadly fireworks.

Usage: Used by Melanie to smash and smack opponents from a distance. While smashing, she can even activate a grenade, releasing a puff of gas out of the impact. When launching her canisters around the field, she's disabling the other strong contenders with her stupefying gas. Specifically she's taking out the most threatening members to the team. The rest of Team BDSN all wear specialized and customized gas masks for this reason, except for herself since she seems to have built a tolerance to her concoction. Sometimes she'll fire the gas grenades as a blunt force shot to disorient enemies. If needed, she'll use burn dust to ignite her gas grenades into powerful fireworks.

Planned/Possible Upgrades: Wishes to add a motor some day so that she can ride it like a rocket car in its portable form.

Notes: Faunus are more prone to the gas on account of their enhanced senses. Melanie treats her weapon like family, affectionately referring to it as "Betty" or "Betty Banghammer."
