Alright, so I saw a thread like this on female, male and even non-human characters, so let's give some love to our inanimate(perhaps) weapons.
So post weapons from your stories here!

It can range from anywhere from John Wick's pencil to a planet destroying mega laser-beam, as long as it has some history or specialty that makes it different from other weapons.

Even defensive stuff or sentient weapons count.

Also, one a time please, I can't handle multiple at once.

Format:
Weapon Name and type -
Physical appearance(Provide image if you want) -
Description(can be as long as you want, if you have an entire 1m word novel dedicated to describing your weapon, so be it, I'll read it in my free time. This can constitute the history of the weapon, it's forging process, how it's wielder obtained it, its abilities, its favorite food, its sexual orientation, how it thinks I'm very handsome and intelligent etc...)


Example:
Weapon Name and type: Golden Spoon - Spoon

Physical description: A literal spoon, but its gold, therefore superior.

Description: Thousand of years ago, in the Heaven realm, a golden spoon fell upon the Shu Mountain. A fledgling daoist at that time named Shu picked up the spoon and decided to whack some dragons with it. Later, Shu threw it back in the mountain, symbolizing the founding of the Golden Spoon sect, in worship of the Golden Spoon. Generations passed, and legends say any ice cream eaten with the golden spoon will taste absolutely sublime. Hence, multiple wars were waged in heaven for said spoon.

PS: I'm not a real life expert on actual weapons, so don't expect professional comments from this. I do watch Shadversity and the like though.


Edit: Here's how I'm going to provide "Feedback": I will be asking questions from the viewpoint of the reader and I'll try to give simplifications and some comments about the weapon. If you wish to improve on a specific point, do tell me and I will attempt to give advice.

Humie Killa Three - Speshul Shoota/Shotgun

A pure white ork shotgun.

Weilded by a purple ork, the shotgun can be seen shooting into crowds of enemy combatants. The pure white metal instills fear into everyone on the battlefield, friend or foe. When the battle ends, the purple ork disappears along with the loud shots of the powerful gun. Only to be seen at the next large skirmish. Nobody knows why they call it the third, nobody knows what happened to the first two.

(Orks associate the color white with death and the color purple with being stealthy.)

How did I do? Sorry if you don't know a ton about Warhammer 40k. If you do you could probably point out a few mistakes lol. I was gonna write the description from the perspective of an ork telling a story but realized that I don't want to spend the next 10 minutes translating the whole thing. Honest criticism would be nice because I'm bad at making backstories for characters and objects alike.

Aw shit WH40K, I always hear about it but I actually know jack shit about it. Why purple ork though? green is best :(. Anyways, love how the ork tries to be stealthy... with a shotgun... oh well, gotta love it when the enemy hears a loud bang followed by confusion as to why the heck the bright purple ork is suddenly gone. As of writing this, you mispelled wielded as weilded, kinda nitpicking cause I don't see much to criticize about this.

Edit: you forgot to add the dakka, always add the dakka.

I'm a bit embarrassed now. I go to college and I still misspelled wielded.
I chose to do purple for the exact reason you said you loved it, I imagine a loud bang, looking over and seeing a purple ork's face and be lit up by the muzzle flash. Only to vanish until the next shot.
Now I shall lurk until more posts come. See ya.

Weapon Name and type: Crimson Carnage - Poleaxe

Physical description:
Description: A two-handed, single-edge ax forged in a rundown workshop by the MC. The head is made of a special alloy that allows the user to cast enchantments without damaging the blade and with maximum efficiency. The horizontal notch will help the ax to penetrate enemy's armor or tough skin while still be able to cut with the curved part of the blade. The upper spike acts like a spear while the bottom spike is for stabbing and hooking the opponent. It's also great for bypassing enemy's shield or even rendering it unusable. The shaft is made of magical wood that was chopped off from a fiery monster tree.

This weapon is inspired by Igorot ax, Danish ax, and fire ax.

Disclaimers:
-The hook allows it to hang from a strap and isn't used in combat.
-The mystical script is only mystical in appearance. It provides no tactical advantage.(its also cursive.)

Description - Its a Cudgel made from hard wood. The MC made it by carving a tree branch, and then charring, brushing, oiling, and drying it. Which was done to preserve the wood, and make it last longer. The tendon thread is made from animal sinew, by drying, pounding, splitting, and then twisting into thread.

Weapon Name and type - Nanta Siden ("White Rosebud") | sword

Physical appearance - 94 cm long (78 cm of blade, broad fuller), crossguard and hilt gilded in silver and wrapped on rawhide dyed white and a silver threads tassel tied to a rose shaped pendant.

Description -
A sword that has passed down the generations within the House of Siden from the Westmarches. Legend tells that the blade was forged years ago by the founder of the House of Siden, Etan. He was a hero of old that slayed a dragon that was terrorizing the land by stabbing him through his heart, though shattering his sword in the process. After the beast was killed, the dragon's heart turned to metal and their blood flooded the ragged battlefield the both of them fought in, giving it renewed life and giving birth to a beautiful white rose that was dubbed Dragonbloom. As reward for killing the dragon, Etan was given the metallic heart with which he forged a new sword and his lineage was granted all the land that was bathed in the dragon's blood as their personal fief. The blade was said to have been forged by the legendary and probably fictitious blacksmith Munta, which is also credited with other fantastical weapons and items, and is made of an almost milky white steel and bathed on several layers of charms and spells... or so it's said, since I just made this up on the spot.

As soon as I saw the weapon I was like 'is that an Igorot headhunting ax?', then I saw your inspirations lol. Honestly, looks good for something crafted in a rundown workshop. The spikes look like they might get stuck in the enemy though.

So is the cudgel like a bluffing thing? Like the MC pretends it's some sort of magical object to fool his foes huhu.

Isn't a 94cm sword too little for a full blown dragon heart? Well the lore did say Etan managed to stab the dragon through its heart, so must be a pretty small dragon or Etan has a very long sword

:oops:

No, he just uses it to bash people over the head. The appearance is to fit his motif and presented identity.

I see, that works too. Had a friend bring a cudgel to school once and boy does that thing hurt.

:oops:
The 94cm sword itself was the one forged with the metal from the dragon's heart, but I would say it was a moderately size dragon. :blob_wink:

Though who knows, I came up with all this on the spot so the details are uh... :sweating_profusely:

Haha, that's fine, I made up the golden spoon on the spot too. I read Xianxia novels so we may have veeery different definitions of a "moderately" sized dragon.

Well mine isn’t gonna be just a weapon, but a whole series of weapons.

Weapons’ names: Light gun.
Types: Pistol, rifle, machine gun or whatever type of gun existing.
Physical appearances: Depends on the type but normally look like 21st guns but painted in white (to avoid overheating because of light) and a little bit bigger
Description: They shoot condensed light beams instead of plasma beams. Invented by Alice Alica as alternative for plasma guns. As the Terran Union was the only faction in the universe that still couldn’t master the commonly used plasma technologies, they had to rely on the outdated nuclear technologies and firearms to battle. These guns are developed to replace plasma guns in the Terran army, their characteristics are the same (they can melt, they shoot out colorful beams, they don’t have recoil,…).

I want to use blanks to power a spike on a piston. I want it attached to the arm so that you can fire it and drive the spike into the target like a ballistic battering ram or a miniaturized pile bunker. I would call it Bunker-Kun in honor of the reference, even though it was inspired y a ramset.

Light guns... So a laser blaster? Also... Terran Union huh... “Humanity has awoken, and now the galaxy will see its might."

No, I am talking about using 45 caliber blanks and driving forward a spike that weighs several pounds. I would say that it is literally a ballistic battering ram that can be strapped onto the arm. The power fist from fallout was the closest idea I found but I want to drive forward a spike for penetration damage.

Well kind of, but it’s significantly stronger.
And definitely not the Terran you saw in a certain game. My story Terran is the unification of 5 humanoid races (which is of course Human, Elf, Beastman, Landmermaid, and Shura).
