User blog:Gundam Legilis/Volume 1 Weapons In Depth- Militia's Claws and Melanie's Heels

Hello everybody! Today we'll be visiting the return of the series, as we wait for the first episode of Volume 2 one week from now.

Today's weapons are the armed accessories of the Malachite twins- Militia's Claws and Melanie's Heels.

They are simple weapons that emulate a specific fighting style, and are attached to certain appendages. Militia fights with slashing, punching, and possibly the puke inducing 360 swing. Melanie emphasizes on kicking and swinging with her heels. They are both extremely sharp weapons, capable of deflecting ballistic ammunition and producing deadly cuts and scars. They don't need reloading either, and when used in tandem (or one person wears both pairs of weapons at once), you have a very deadly fighter.

Of course, they are obviously limited at extreme close range. They offer little defense except for a well timed deflection. They embody the trope known as "Crippling Overspecialization", meaning that you can only do one thing, that's it. Tired people, unathletic people and people with low oxygen spans need not apply, because you are going to have to have strong lungs to run and to constantly swing your arms and feet at your enemies.

When using these weapons, you have to be swift, nimble, have strong lungs, and to constantly attack, attack and attack some more.

Stay tuned for next time as we cover Junior's Batzooka.
