I have a new weapon~ =3

This was inspired by a toy I saw in Australian Geographic, which is sort of a science-based educational store that sometimes has interesting stuff tucked away in it. Things like little boxes of common gemstones, build-a-dinosaur kits, really interesting puzzles, kinetic sand, globes of the world, telescopes and the like. I dunno what a toy bow that looked like something Nerf would make was doing in there, but I saw it and I wanted to do something with it. So I did.


 * Name: Unnamed (I’m pulling a blank. All I can think of is a Holiday/Haladie pun, which is terrible -_- )
 * Wielder: N/A
 * Maker/Smith: Zaruciti Foundries
 * Type: Grenade Launching Haladie Bow (GLHB)
 * Weapon Derivation: Haladie, Zing Air Storm Bow
 * Design: Colours to be decided when I assign a character. But basically handle with be one colour, nubs will be another, strings will be another and blades with probably be silver. Arros will most likely be silver shafts with coloured finger notches in place of fletching.
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: Blades telescope to 4 inches (10cm) each, magnetically clipped to holster on thigh
 * Form 1: Haladie. 16 inch (40cm) blade on either side of 5.5 inch (15cm) handle for total length of 37.5 inch (95cm) length. Blades mirror each other in shape, curving back towards user similar to a recurve bow. Small nubs jut out from handle at either end with loops on handle side of nubs.
 * Form 2: Recurve bow. Small nubs extend from each blade, 2 inch (5cm) from tip, lifting bowstring with it. Bowstrings are always strung between handle nubs and tip nubs, but each side does not join into one string.
 * Features: Can use as a haladie in either form.
 * Ammunition: Grenade arrows. Caseless grenades with single prong near bottom of grenade on either side. Variety of dusts, prefers fire and lightning.
 * Usage: Fast and furious dagger attacks, focusing on diving into the middle of enemies and unleashing a flurry of fast stabs and slashes. Works best when surrounded, as the piercing attack can be easily bounced between enemies due to the dual blades. Uses the bow form for mass collateral damage, often unleashing grenades in short range instead of focusing on sharp shooting.
 * Notes: Grenade arrows are not stored with shaft; instead the user uses a single shaft that utilises a mechanical lock to load the grenades, releasing fire with a button on the end of the shaft which releases the grenade from the shaft.
