Weapons

Weapons appear many times in TLOS: TAOMAT. Note that most of this is pasted from the HG wiki.

Awl
An awl can take various forms, but typically consists of a slender spike and some form of handgrip (similar in design to a screwdriver). More of a tool than a weapon, it is traditionally used in handicrafts such as wood and leather working:


 * George Manuels owns an awl, which he lost when he died.
 * Maude has one, but it was destroyed when she was vaporized

Axe
An axe (ax) is an implement that has been used for millennia to shape, split and cut wood. It has also been widely used as a weapon and as a ceremonial or heraldic symbol. Axes can take many different forms depending on their intended use, but generally, they consist of an axe head with a handle, or helve:


 * Jack is skilled with axes, a trait that Hero inherits despite him mostly using far-firing weapons. Jack uses axes as his signature weapon.
 * It is also both Chad and Hope's signature weapon

Throwing axe
While axes are normally used as melee weapons, they can also be thrown, and some are especially designed for that purpose. The latter is never specifically mentioned in the novels, but some characters indeed use axes as distance weapons:


 * After Luis Tenpenni and Nate Gravus was killed by robot wasps in Series 6, Bradford Caderousse throws an axe at an attacker.


 * Kapara was seen throwing one at a henchman in Series 2

Baton
A baton is a long, narrow rod that can be made from many different materials. As a weapon, a baton may be used to strike, jab, block, bludgeon, and aid in the application of armlocks:


 * All Armies, SWAT teams, and Police Departments use these weapons.

Blowgun
A blowgun is a simple weapon consisting of a small tube used for firing light projectiles, such as darts:


 * Hero is seen using one with 35 darts once but after firing 3 at Finley and Marko he gave it to Nibs.

Blow torch
A blow torch is a device that can produce a small, steady stream of controlled flame. They usually consist of some type of canister- for carrying fuel- a nozzle where the flame emerges, and an igniter:


 * Ronald once used a blow torch on a Dark Ops member.

Bow and arrow
The bow and arrow is a projectile weapon that predates recorded history and is common to most cultures. Hero learned most of his archery skills from Jack, and he uses a bow to hunt and defend himself. It also becomes his weapon of choice:


 * Hero uses bows as weapons in all his appearances that have fight scenes and most of his appearances as well
 * The Lost Boys have been using bows at various times.
 * The Merry Men are archers as well.

Brick
A brick is a hard, heavy, rectangular prism typically made of clay. A common element in masonry construction, it can also be used as a blunt force weapon:


 * Agent Ernie’s Chrysler 300 was destroyed by multiple bricks
 * There are several brick buildings, the most famous being The Third Little Pig’s house, Bo Peep Family Farm Barn, and all palaces.



Crossbow
The crossbow is a mechanized version of the bow and arrow that originated in China over 2000 years ago. Rather than being held upright, the crossbow is mounted horizontally across the handle, or stock, and equipped with a trigger. Although it takes longer to load and fire than a traditional bow, it can be learned much more easily and the missile, or bolt, can be launched at any time without the physical strain of holding back the string:


 * The Huntsman used one in the Wishing Spell.
 * Castra was seen using one.
 * Multiple members of Professor Cleocht’s crime syndicate were seen using crossbows in the raid on Trollbella’s Palace. One was picked up by Hero and he fired it at the owner who was just killed by him.

C4
C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C, which uses RDX as its explosive agent. C-4 is composed of explosives, plasticbinder, plasticizer to make it malleable, andusually a marker or odorizing taggant chemical. C-4 has a texture similar to modelling clay and can be molded into any desired shape. C-4 is metastable and can be exploded only bythe shock wave from a detonator or blasting cap.


 * C4s are very common explosives third only to grenades and dynamites

Dynamite
Dynamite is an explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents and stabilizers. It was invented by the Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in Geesthacht, Northern Germany and patented in 1867. It rapidly gained wide-scale use as a more powerful alternative to black powder.


 * Dynamites are the most common explosive in the series as they are seen in almost every episode with combat.

Electrocution
Electrocution is a process involving electrical current and some form of conductor:


 * Risque's weapon of choice is wires.
 * This is what Bolt's superpower does.

Fire
Fire is a natural thing, but Xanthous and Blaze use these as weapons

 * Tootles is seen using a flamethrower

Food
Food is for replenishing hunger but some of them can be used as weapons.


 * Honey is Tangerina's signature weapon.
 * Poisoned food can be used as a weapon.

Grenades
A grenade is an explosive weapon typically thrown by hand, but can also refer to an shell shot out by a rifles or a grenade launcher. A modern hand grenade generally consists of an explosive charge, a detonator mechanism, an internal striker to trigger the detonator, and a safety lever secured by a linchpin. The user pulls the safety pin before throwing, and once thrown the safety lever gets released, allowing the striker to trigger a primer that ignites a fuze, which burns down to the detonator and explodes the main charge.


 * Assorted characters (mostly Alex, Red, Jack, Goldilocks, and Hero) have been using grenades either fired or thrown.

Guns
A gun is a firearm designed to be used by an individual. Guns are rarely used by most characters, but are instead used by Fairy Ops, all armies, SWAT teams, and Police Departments. They are mostly manufactured in the Eastern and Corner Kingdoms.


 * The Happily Forever After Assembly have a supply of guns which are given to soldiers, police officers, and even royals and fairies.
 * Although what most of the Center Kingdom Army is equipped with is not specified, Sir Lucas is armed with an AK-47 firearm and an Uzi.
 * Both Red and Goldilocks have a pistol in their purses for protection. It is Red’s preferred weapon.
 * Hero is skilled with firearms and despite mostly using bows, he has been using multiple guns throughout the series.
 * Some henchmen that raided Trollbella’s palace wielded automatic pistols. One notable henchman was killed when he dropped a pistol on a landmine.

Jerry Can
A jerrycan is a robust liquid container made from pressed steel. It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres of fuel. The development of the jerrycan was a significant improvement on earlier designs, which required tools and funnels to use, and it contained many innovative features for convenience of use and robustness. After widespread use by both Germany and the Allies during the Second World War, today similar designs are used worldwide for fuel and water containers, some of which are also produced in plastic. The designs usually emulate the original steel design and are still known as jerrycans. The original design of jerrycan and various derivatives remain in widespread military use.


 * Jerry cans are super common weapon and many characters have used them to refuel their cars and as a weapon. The most notable instance is Emmerich busting a meth lab with a line of gasoline from a jerry can and shooting at it with his assault rifle.

Katana
A katana is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Following tachi, it was used by samurai in feudal Japan and worn with the blade facing upward. Also, since the Muromachi period, many old tachi were cut from the root and shortened, and the blade at the root was crushed and converted into katana. The official term for katana in Japan is uchigatana and the term katana often refers to single-edged swords from around the world.


 * The katana is Bradford Caderousse and Wendy's weapon of choice and they have been seen wielding it in almost all their appearances.
 * Multiple members of Professor Cleocht’s crime syndicate were seen using katanas in the raid on Trollbella’s Palace. A notable henchman using one was killed by Risque by electrocution.

Knife
A knife can take innumerable forms, but always consists of a sharp blade with a handle. The length of the blade can vary but is typically shorter than a sword blade. Depending on the design, a knife can be used as a weapon, a piece of silverware, or a tool (sometimes more than one):


 * Like his mother, Hero is skilled with knives and in the early seasons, he uses one in hand to hand combat.
 * Goldilocks has multiple knives which she uses for everything from cutting vegetables and meat to attacking people.


 * Red has a knife in her purse.
 * Alex at one point used a knife.
 * It is Froggy and Ronald's weapon of choice.

 * Throwing knives are Gladiatora's preferred weapon


 * Emmanuel Perez has one which he found in a backpack
 * Emmerich threw a knife at Marko once

Dagger
A dagger is a knife with a very sharp point and usually two sharp edges, typically designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon. Daggers have been used throughout human history for close combat confrontations, and many cultures have used adorned daggers in ritual and ceremonial contexts. The distinctive shape and historic usage of the dagger have made it iconic and symbolic. A dagger in the modern sense is a weapon designed for close-proximity combat or self-defense; due to its use in historic weapon assemblages, it has associations with assassination and murders. Double-edged knives, however, play different sorts of roles in different social contexts.


 * Daggers are common in the series.

Land mine
A land mine is an explosive device, concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets as they pass over or near the device. Such devices are typically detonated automatically by way of pressure from the target stepping or driving on it, though other detonation mechanisms may be possible. The device may cause damage either by a direct blast or by fragments that are thrown by the blast:


 * In Series 4, Hero shot an arrow at a landmine, blowing up a cavalcade of Chevy Tahoes belonging to the enemies.
 * One of Castra's preferred weapons are landmines.
 * The Rascals have a supply of landmines.

Laser gate
The Laser Gate, despite acting as a shield, can actually be a weapon too.


 * Every Center Kingdom gate entrance has a laser gate protecting it, those lasers are programmed to kill wolves and skin them and kill banned outlaws as well despite they aren't skinned, but for any non-banned human no matter if he/she drives or walks, he/she won't be killed, but if a car driven by an outlaw enters, that car will have all four tires popped with the dead outlaw(s) in the seat(s). The only instance this was turned off was when wolves were sent to go captive in the zoo. However, bad guys can get underground until in the later seasons.

Mace
A mace consists of a length of shaft topped by a heavy weight. Historically, there have been many variations of this weapon; some heads may be spiked or have angular striking surfaces, and others may place the weight at the end of a chain, which in turn is connected to the shaft:


 * It is Kapara's signature weapon
 * Curly uses a mace

Bar mace
