7 Unusual and Improvisied Battle Mech Weapons
Not just an Oekaki, but an insomniac one!
WRECKING BALL
Your standard construction device, used as a quik fix to replace missing arm. Some pilots like them so much after using them that they have combat grade ones custom designed
MECH SPEAR
These come in a wide variety. The simplest version is a telephone pole fitted with an armor piercing auto-cannon shell and a primitive detonation device. Only usable by mechs with hands, most commonly given to light mechs in urban combat
MECH GRENADE
Very similar to Spear but fitted with a 155 MM artillery shell. Anti-personnel weapon. As these are much safer to use, far more common than the spear
ZUES' LIGHTNING(.75 Sniper Rifle)
Replaces main gun on light mechs with very long rage telescopic sites and semi automatic anti-personel sniper rifle, also capable of damaging lightly armored vehicles at short range.
GRAPHITTI GUN
Specially fitted flamer, that contains ablative paint. Used offensively to blind sensors and cockpit, used defensively to coat damaged mechs, only for the truly desperate.
EMP GUANTLET
Battle glove that delivers both a short range electromagnetic burst but also capable of electrical discharge to damage enemy mechs computers, internal circuitry and the pilot himself. Adds minimal weight to carrying mech.
MISSILE KNUCKLEDUSTER
Mech sized gauntlet with three Short Range Missile 2s fitted to it, capable of punching or very inaccurate short ranged attack, destroys carrying mech's hand. Also called the 'Socko' Works better than it sounds.
