Hand Weapon types

Hand weapons are personal weapons used for anti-personell purposes. This page is a list of types. Please add any you know of here.
== Ranged Projectile/Beam weapon types ==
=== Bullet Gun ===
A Bullet gun is a personal weapon that utilises large directional force to propel a small, sharp metal object to disable or kill a person. They come in many shapes and sizes. Larger weapons are often called “Rifles” while small, single hand weapons are called “Pistols”. Some weapons can be dual wielded, mainly pistols.
=== Energy Projectile Weapons ===
An Energy Projectile weapon uses a directional forced energy bolt in 1 or more directions. They are very much similar to Bullet based guns, in most ways. The only real difference is that EPW’s use energy instead of bullets. Energy weapons come in many different types, including plasma weapons, phasers and more.
=== Energy Beam Weapons ===
An Energy beam weapon is the same as an EPW, except that they use beams instead of projectiles.
== Melee Weapons ==
=== Sword ===
A sword is a weapon that uses a long, sharp blade to cut through flesh and hurt a person. Swords come in many shapes and sizes, and many species use their own types. Humans use subtypes such as katanas, falchions and daggers, while other species use their own.
=== Blunt Weapon ===
A blunt weapon, like a club or even a rock, can be used to hurt another person. It is considered very basic and unsophisticated, and thus is rarely, if not never used in the BWMC.
=== Martial Arts ===
Often, the best melee weapon is a pair of fists and a pair of legs. This can range from basic punches and kicks to full on martial arts. Most species have their own forms of martial arts, of which many are highly effective, even when fighting fully armed Personell. Most militaries train the personell in basic martial arts.
