duvel

<div class="IPBDescription">not with the knife</div>you know...

your shotgun is empty and instead of knifing you can hit the enemy with the back of your gun?

i'm not asking to replace the knife, don't get me wrong :)

The axe actually looks pretty credible.

You would need a tool like that to fend off armored aliens and the infestation on the walls and floor.

Hopefully I'm not the only one that keeps thinking back to the Switch Axes in Monster Hunter Tri. XD

If you had asked me before I saw the art of the axe: "Would you prefer a knife or an axe?", my response would have been "It doesn't matter to me".
But now I'm actually partial to the axe. I just love how military it looks, as in purely functional and nothing more. It makes sense for marines to have that.

okay, another one!

can you drop the axe? and if yes, can fists be used?

so we have:
- melee attack with the back of the gun
- a knockout in a fist fight (great against an onos)

Does it really matter?

A melee attack is a melee attack, even if I'd be fighting with a rubber duck, it's all the same. D:
The axe looks pretty neat.
