Can we put a pin in the discussion about police for now?

Sure, let's talk about AXES! Ah, truly, the weapon of the proletariat. Well actually that'd be rocks, but I certainly know I'd riot with a hatchet. Knives are nice, but it doesn't quite have the full force of impact that I go for in a weapon. And sure, clubs and hammers are nito, but sometimes I want something that can slash and smash, and i find swords to be too pompous for my taste. And thus axes! Wonderful weapons with work and war meshed together into a handy dandy SKULL SPLITTER! Not inconceivable for them to be balanced for throwing, and a good design makes it perfect for disarming weapons and appendages. Little wonder that Gren's own weapon, when in it's dormant Terror form, is well suited as a hacking axe and not just a bludgeoning cannon.
