Would be great to have some reasearch ability to create new kinds of weapons - Specially where humans are concerned.
They'd be the most likely to develop weapons like:
- Gunblade - Sword/Axe/Polearm with a Gun embedded in order to shoot before, after or, even better, during the cut. (cutting a wound open and shooting inside that weakened spot has obviously a great impact)
From daggers with small firearms embedded, to huge Polearms/Scythes/Axes with cannons embedded in the pole's extemity.
Example: An Antlion blade on the edge of the polearm, with a cannon embedded in the extremity of the pole.
You stab with the 2 blades (initially closed together) then force them open while inside the creature, opening way for the cannon blast.
- Bowedge/Bowaxe - Bow with blades stretching outwards from the grip area.
A mix of a bow with Illidan Stormrage's twin blade aesthetics.
Ofcourse, the blade doesn't bend - The blade is in front of the arc, both the bow and the blade fixed upon the grip area.
I think in God of War, some of Ares' skeleton archer minions swing their bows at you, bows wich are bladed of sorts.
- Shieldblade - A shield with bladed edges. One can use two of these for ultimate turtle style defense with reasonable offense.
Spiked Shieldblades would also work well, to both swing to cut and bash to crush/pierce.
It would be almost like a fist weapon.
- Gunshield - A gun that is wielded as a bracer and has a shield around it. (potentially quite heavy, not for the 100% dextrous, 0% strong :cool: )
Spiked Gunshields would be even better (and heavier).
All of these might also be wielded as fist weapons, if hand protection/offensive component was added (heavier) so you could punch and then shoot on the same spot.
- G-Field Grenades - Causes powerful gravitic force within radius, pulling anything within effect radius to the grenade's position.
This could work like a way to pin-down/slow anything, specially the Deva, and the weakest (less strength) might be unable to move entirely.
- Shield Grenade - Creates a force field where the grenade is, repelling or absorbing some or all energetic forms. (might be elemental-specific, like Fire Shield Grenade)
It would have an outward repelling effect, possibly not affecting energy sent from within.
Enemy draining effects (if any) might not be affected, and the "protected" might have their own draining effects nullified.
- Cryogenic Grenade - creates extreme cold in an area, greatly slowing/damaging cold sensitive beings directly or through their equipment.

More to come.
Pump your own ideas.
Not just aesthetics, but utility-wise.
