Hmph! Feeble minded fools... One must be prepared for any situation that appears. All weapons, tools and trinkets come from one source - all copycats or foul mutations of the originals. While you mongrels drool over one of these imitations, you are merely holding something that already belongs to a true King, and all of those tools you hold or wish for are already part of his collection by default.
So, allow me to open the Gate of Babylon and show you what REAL treasures look like! (Most Fate games, VNs and Unlimited Codes.)
I mean, the look one someone's face when you pull a Mobile Suit out of a portal and they're all using infantry rifles.... Priceless.
Other than that, alternate weapons of choices would be:
Particle Up-link Cannon/Railgun (Command and Conquer series) - Fear the power of the thunderclap. Plus, you can write your name in the ground from space... You got Tagged!
Sora's retractable blades/gauntlet (.hack) - Allows you to do most things with your hand as normal, but with the blades available when you need it. And there's always something bad*** about punching someone in the gut, saying a one-liner and then shooting out the blades.
Or my favourite: Using your own body as a weapon - I mean, to heart I believe in the whole saying, "a sword is an extension of a person's body." It is the person who wields tools that uses them as either a weapon or a symbol or a utility aid. But if you learn how to fight (fighting style, stealth, mental preparation etc.), then you can use a pen or a bottle or throw someone through a table etc. I do love my wrestling and fighter games, and a good placed kick or a killer move will get the job done right.
That, and I would love to fire a Galick Gun - why would you need anything else?
