Creature:Tragnon/Weapons

Tragnon Weapons
The Tragnon don't have primitive military. They often use massive ships and monster bombards, and they have also ver advanced hand weapon technologies. Swords and axes are not found in the common Tragnon battle arsenal, as they are too old. Only melee weapon what they use is special mace, what, if combined with Tragnon strenght, can easily crush the helmet along with the skull, and kill the soldier in a second. Most of them have spikes. And also, they use many types of guns, from these most primitive, to surprisingly modern. But they don't fight very often, and most of the guns haven't been used yet. There you will find the list of Tragnon infantry weapons with a description.

Maces
The mace, called Crapto by Tragnons is the only used Tragnon melee weapon. It comes in many variations, from iron ball on the stick, to very advanced and frightening things what are used only by the strongest, the Monster maces. The units equipped by them are often mounted, and crush them enemy infantry. Causing a serious hurt to the target isn't any problem for them. As the Tragnons are very strong in comparison to their size, they can easily wield a mace what could be problem to lift by a normal sized human. Other variations include special throwing maces, poisoned maces, or many other bizarre types of them, what look much more frightening than they really are. That causes significant psychological effect and morale decrease in the enemy units.

Bows
The bows are very often used too, but the crossbows are getting much more popular these times, and uses of both of them are decreasing because of gunpowder ones. The bows are used in the auxiliary armies, or in the situations, where the enemy can't be straightly shot(in the valleys, mountains, or other). They are always wooden, but many of them are enforced using iron or similar metals. They are made from supreme quality materials, like a chord from rare mountain plant tissues, and wood from the sequoias. They are divided to longbows(over 4 feet), classic bows(3 - 4) feet, and small bows(2 - 3 feet). A basic Tragnon longbow can shoot up to 300 m, and pierce the ring armour after that. But they are often used at once(arrow burst), to cause a immediate fear among the enemies and kill hundreds of them. The arrows are various types, from basic wooden with iron ending, to these elite, who are from aluminium, and with platinium ending. These are very rare, but with much better attributes.

Crossbows
The crossbows are special type of horizontal bows, derived from various Ballistae.It is a weapon bow mounted on a stick (called a tiller or stock) with a mechanism in it which holds the drawn bow string. With a crossbow, archers could release a draw force far in excess of what they could have handled with a bow. The crossbows have also much longer reload time, about half of minute, what makes them unpractical in the close fight. The Tragnons use them more often than bows, because the things mentioned before. The projectiles also varies, but they are usually shorter than bow arrows.
