Weapon Name: Hercules Sleeve
Description: A large metallic piece of armor shaped to brace impacts on the protected limb. Using a system of coiled springs silvered coating makes the sleeve seem almost ornamental. The shoulder of the sleeve is topped with two pronged horns, shaped in the style of a beetle's tusk. These serve merely as decoration. The trigger system in which to activate the recoil/cancel it is located inside of the glove section of the sleeve.
The weapons real functionality is to defend from melee assaults while enabling the user to fire weapons of extreme recoil without taking heavy damage.
Weapon Special Ability: None
History: The Hercules Sleeve was originally designed by the Marines as an offensive weapon using the springs to serve as the quickly trademarked 'Buster Punch', unfortunately the weight of the arm slowed the users dexterity far too much for live combat and the program was sent back to the drawing board. Only a few soldiers who were chosen for beta testing held on to the originals.
Weapon Name: Dynasty
Description: Dynasty is and was designed to be somewhat ridiculous in size and performance. Sitting at 4 feet in it's own designs length the crossbow holds an automated fire system for 10 bolts. The bolts themselves reinforced with steel rods deliver considerably powerful shots, powerful enough to damage a ships hull. Unfortunately this weapon has a large amount of recoil and would tear clean into the shoulder of anyone who fired it without a mounting of some kind.
The bolts themselves are the length of short swords, and can be wielded as makeshift melee weapons.
Weapon Special Ability: None
History:Dynasty is Nathan 'Caliber' Colt's pride and joy, a Fletcher for the Marines most of his life Nathan sought to build a tool capable of sinking ships for the everyday soldier, albeit not completely successful the powerful design was hard to ignore when he brought it forward to his superiors. The incident that followed left his tester without an arm and him ultimately sentenced to imprisonment and then exile. Shortly after serving his term in prison the Armory of that particular West Blue base was raided, this and other would-be equipment was stolen and ultimately placed a small bounty for the prime suspect.
