Battlefist

The Battlefist is a melee weapon designed by the Iron Company for the Warden Technician. It first became available in 15 BYE.

About the Battlefist

The Battlefist is merely a mechanized punch. A gauntlet-type device was first deployed on the Warden Technician. Albert Steiner may or may not have ordered this weapon to put members of the Iron Company in line. He will neither confirm or deny this fact.

History

The Battlefist was designed along with the Warden Technician in 15 BYE as a melee combat device. Its production ceased after the schism in 10 BYE, but was once again returned to limited production after the Iron Company was re-established in YE 44. There is continued debate about the effectiveness of this weapon, however, there are plans to deploy it in a scalable fashion on future units.

Appearance

The appearance of a Battlefist is usually little more than an up-armored gauntlet; however, the end-user or designer may opt for more exotic appearances such as having it resemble an oversized flanged mace, etc.,

Power Source

  • Ammunition/Power source: Powered by the Wrath Series Fusion Reactor of the unit it is mounted on.
  • Round Capacity: The power cell usually is good for about 30 swings before needing to be replaced.

Weapon Mechanisms and Maintenance

  • Firing Mechanism: Controlled by the hand servos of the Warden Technician.
  • Stripping the weapon down requires the removal of the armor plates to get the internals, which can be down with either an allen wrench, screwdriver or in some cases a socket set-then internal mechanism as long as one has some kind of lubricant, a soldiering kit, small screwdrivers and a bit of patience the fist can be restored to full use in under thirty minutes.

  • Servo System: 1,000 KS.
