Chinese officer's sword

Chinese officer swords are traditional jian (剑), double-edged straight swords wielded by Chinese officers.Sole Survivor: "What's in it for me?"Captain Zao: "You force me to make... ultimate decision. Sad decision. Maybe yi han. My sword. Sharp, wondrous jian. Sword of Chinese officer. It is yours. If you help me!"(Captain Zao's dialogue) 
==Background==
These swords were dress swords issued to People's Liberation Army officers during the Sino-American War. Many were captured and came to the American Homefront as souvenirs, some even finding their way into the hands of fifth columnists. Since the Great War, these weapons have become an uncommonly used armament by wastelanders and raiders alike.Appearance of Chinese officer swords as weapons
==Chinese officer's sword==
A straight, double-edged blade with an ornate pommel and handguard. Swords found in the Capital Wasteland have markings along the blade, while those found elsewhere do not.
==Jingwei's shocksword==
A unique Chinese officer's sword issued to General Jingwei during the Battle of Anchorage, the blade is electrified and shocks targets struck by it. While weapon smiths in the Commonwealth and Appalachia have modified standard Chinese officer's swords with electrified blades, Jingwei's shocksword has electrodes embedded within the blade while the modified swords have external power sources attached to the handguard.
