DESCRIPT: A strobe light made with very dense alloy and shaped into a tonfa. Mainly used to scout dark places, it can become a combat weapon when necessary. PRIME: Wields the Blackadder like a tonfa, delivering fast, accurate strikes. Since it's not a bladed weapon, it cannot hook onto opponents like the other melee weapons can. Nevertheless, it can deal devastating damage. SECONDARY: Toggles the flashlight on or off. SPECIAL: In special cases, wielders can use the Blackadder's special function: hallucinatory gas. Initial effects include temporary blindness and vomiting, afterwards the victim begins to exhibit signs of hysteria due to one or more of the following theoretical hallucinations: -Getting burned (victim imagines himself in flames) -Drowning (victim's vision turns blue and imaginary bubbles come out of his mouth) -Seeing various "things" chasing after him -Seeing mirror-images of himself (shooting these images causes the victim to die, which implies he committed suicide) -Seeing the wrong Health, Armor and Ammo readings (victim might think he has a full clip of ammo when actually it is empty) -Seeing "colors" or going color-blind (victim may not be able to tell who are his teammates or opponents) -Losing motor skills (victim has his controls all backwards or just whacked out) |

Stick a tazer at the end. Everything's better with a tazer at the end. |

I really like the side-effects, especially the incorrect HUD, could really screw people up. |

So the MRS-138 isn't really a shotgun? |

A tonfa is one type of melee weapon, a tazer is another type. Thats like sticking a club underneath the barrel of a katana. 
I have to admit a stun baton does sound pretty fun though. Anyways, this is an interesting idea. Those side effects are pretty cool. Sounds like a device for riot control. |

... or for starting one, since mass hysteria ain't really much of a crowd-control... |

Perhaps if it sprayed tear gas that would make it seem more of a crowd control device. But the idea of "player stoopidizing gas" sounds awesome. I think that even deserves its own grenade. Think about it: Smoke grenades are boring, but what if said smoke unscrews all your nuts and makes you turn the other direction, start shooting at a barrel and run to pickup your landmine thinking its a health pickup. Now that would be fun. Anyway back to the Tonfa; you know in Red Faction there was a meelee weapon that was both a baton AND a tazer. It worked fine, use the baton to hit your enemies easier and deliver damage with no ammo. Use the tazer to deliver a more powerful attack that required a battery. That could work with this idea too |

The T10 could use some interesting side-effects. It's pretty useless at the moment as a deterrent, as you can just sprint-dodge-jump through it with minimal damage, and even worse as a killing weapon, as the gas disperses too slowly to do any damage. |

Check out the Tips and Tricks section of the RS wiki to see an effective killing technique with the Toxin Grenade. I put it there myself, so I can guarantee it works! |

That just makes a big green line across the path of the grenade. Very easy to avoid and escape from. What the grenade clouds ought to do is drift away in the direction the grenade's top is pointed, with random drift over time, creating much larger cloud coverage. It should also last a bit longer too, and expand over time. The FP7 and Pineapple have a major advantage over the T10 in that if it detonates near you, you're going to be seriously injured, or die. The FP7 is also better as a deterrent in that the flames can do a hell of a lot of damage by setting you on fire. If a T10 detonates next to you, you still have time to run away before getting too seriously injured. If it were a pineapple, you'd die instantly, and if it were an FP7, you'll die after a couple of seconds. |
