I was thinking about adding those to the game and would like suggestions about balancing and or realism of them while i try to figure out how github works or find someone who would make a pullrequest for them for me. I already managed to get them to work just by copy/pasting into my game files. sawblade axe: This is an axe made by attaching the blade of a circular saw to a pipe. It makes a decent melee weapon. sawblade lajatang: A smooth and sturdy staff with a leather-wrapped grip and asawblade of a circular saw attached to each end. spiked bat: A baseball bat with a large and slightly misshapen spike driven through it, an excellent melee weapon. spiked aluminum bat: An aluminum baseball bat with a large and slightly misshapen spike driven through it, an excellent melee weapon.
