Introduction
Hiddenweapons are not the same as invisible, or improvised, weapons. Rather, they are
specifically intended to be implemented as weapons, and are designed so as to provide for
maximum concealment upon one’s person.
Being designed specifically as weapons, they tend to be far more damaging than improvised
weapons, which were originally intended for much different purposes. Because of their nature,hidden weapons are often prohibited by law. Depending on one’s jurisdiction, as well as the
type of weapon in question, punishment can range from confiscation to years of imprisonment.
Be sure to research the laws regarding weapon possession in your area before considering
procurement of any exotic weaponry.
Some of these weapons are favored by gang members, ex-convicts, and professionalcriminals.
These people are typically substance abusing repetitive felons who will not be deterred from
obtaining a weapon they want simply because it has been prohibited. If your occupation,
environment, or lifestyle tends to bring you into contact with such people, you run a high risk of
being attacked with a weapon in the event of a violent confrontation. This section will briefly
discuss howsuch weapons are used, where on the person they are typically concealed, and
take notice of any significant weaknesses a weapon might have.
A few of the weapons listed are extremely nasty and highly illegal. Such weapons are typically
the tools of assassins (whether criminal, terrorist or officially sanctioned) and would never be
used by a true warrior. However, many freakish deviates fancythemselves "ninja commandos"
and could conceivably procure or manufacture such devices to carry upon their persons. If you
become involved in an altercation with such an individual, it is good to know what you might be
up against.
Exotic weaponry has long been a subject of fascination for many who walk the warrior path. In
addition to being informative, this section is meant to be entertaining aswell.
A partial listing of common hidden weapons follows. For purposes of brevity, this section is far
from complete, as the various types of hidden weapon number in the hundreds. Many hidden
weapons had only limited production or were handmade prototypes, thus are difficult to
acquire. Most of the weapons listed here are currently available. Mundane weapons (such as
lockblades, huntingknives, and handguns) have been excluded from this section, as their
inclusion would’ve taken up a lot of room telling you stuff that you probably already know.

Blades & Such
Blades are the favored carry weapon of streetfighters, gangbangers, and paroled felons, and
you are guaranteed to encounter them if you spend any amount of time on the streets.
Criminals like blades for many differentreasons. First, they are cheap and easily available,
which enables them to be quickly tossed if a search appears probable. Second, they are small,
lightweight, and easily concealed. Third, they are far more intimidating and damaging than
empty hands. Fourth, many criminals mistakenly believe that blades are "untraceable" weapons
which cannot be connected to them once their prints have been wiped...
