Hmm... forgot about this thread...
Actually, the Skrith use spears, some for throwing. Could very well fit as a Skrith weapon.
And as my bro said, I'd use it too.

Ok, I know this is not a typical BW weapon idea, but I think it kinda fits with the universe: During the war, the skirth decided to place an advanced outpost of Arbor V. This once radiant planet was a former urban paradise; however, a series of NBC bombings attacks by human rebels left the place desolate well before the Skirth threat was even known. Seeing this opportunity, the Skirth landed a strike force to start preliminary acquisition of the planet. But the force soon met resistance from tribes thriving in underground tunnels and sewers (using centuries of waste as a growth medium for crops). An elite Skirth amphibious unit was sent to deal with the tribes. In a surprising show of strategic versatility, the Skirth used to a tight formation to trap the humans in the tunnels. The human’s weapons (as they had few ballistic weapons) were unable to damage the Skirth. One of the largest tribes, Erectus Magnum (Named after the early man, you pervert!), leaders and engineers developed a counter-technology and tactic. Altering the compressors on the water purification systems, they developed the Impact Spear. Using a pressure discus as a trigger, the compressor propels a blunt chunk of steel at its target in a twisting motion. Although difficult to handle, the weapon completely obliterated all of the armor the Skirth used. Unfortunately, after a few minor defeats, the Skirth switched to their energy weapons and crushed the primitives. However, a few of the designs were resurrected during the recapture of the planet and implemented as a last measure melee weapons. In order to improve mobility, the spears are now collapsible to a manageable size while not in use. Terran Impact Spear - Melee Primary- thrusting, blunt melee attack Secondary- Propelled steel that eliminates all armor (if timed correctly) but can never damage health. It needs to be reset after every use. Reload- Reset the steel. Special- Throw the spear (like the mighty warrior we all know we are.) Anyway, doesn’t really fit with the ballistic theme, but I love spears (and making them for over two years now), so I thought it would be fun… Enkidu the modern spear maker |

Sounds like the electro harpoon only except you throw it and it doesn't have electricity. but a good idea nevertheless

I like this idea, I'd probably use it when I needed a good melee battle with a bot or two. Make for a fine weapon in melee only battles. Or when I need to be silent when I kill. |
