- Name: Apex (meaning: top or highest part of something)

- Wielder: Siva Ferro (my OC)

- Maker/Smith: Siva Ferro

- Classification: Lever-Action Shotgun-Axe (LASA)

- Weapon Derivation: Winchester Model 1887 Shotgun, Axe

- Form 1 Design: N/A

- Form 1 Aesthetics: N/A

- Form 2: A lever-action shotgun with a retracted axe fitted to the end of the barrel, on the magazine tube.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: The axe is retracted and fitted on the end of the barrel, the gun itself has no stock but instead has a blade-like ornament on the butt on the handle. Ornate details colored white are present on the handle and foregrip, and the gun has golden accents. The handle and foregrip are black save for the ornates and accents, while the barrel and receiver are dark grey. On the top of the barrel, the "back" of the axe is used as the front iron sight.

- Form 3: Extended two more feet, the axe is now much larger and more battle-worthy.

- Form 3 Aesthetics: The axe has a jagged edge, with the accent being silver and ornate detailings white. The "back" of the axe is NOT extended.

- Dust Usage: The wielder can also swing the axe to launch a single fireball using the Fire dust. The wielder is in full control of when to launch the fireball. Same thing for the Ice dust. If the user wants to use the axe's projectile without having to shoot a specialized dust cartridge, said dust cartridge can be inserted into the axe blade and the gun can fire conventional cartridges.

- Ammunition: 12 gauge, holds seven rounds.

- Usage: In normal mode, the weapon is supposed to be fired like a conventional lever-action shotgun. In a pinch however, the axe could be used, albeit smaller and weaker (can be used as an advantage if agility is a necessity). In extended mode, the weapon is of course supposed to be used as a battle axe. The gun can still be fired in this mode.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: There might be a way to employ the use of an external box magazine, instead of the built-in magazine tube that the weapon comes with. This has yet to be implemented.

- Notes: The gun is capable of emplying a speedloading tube in order to load the dust cartridges faster.

The user can reload the gun by opening the magazine tube (by pushing the lever forward) and loading the magazine either by hand or by a speedloader.
