👉 An array weapon, also known as a multi-bladed or multi-pronged weapon, is an armament system featuring multiple projectile points or cutting edges arranged along a single shaft or blade. These weapons can include various forms, such as spears with multiple barbs, harpoons with serrated edges for gripping and cutting through flesh or ice, or even more modern iterations like the M16's detachable magazine system that can be configured with different types of projectiles. The primary advantage of array weapons lies in their ability to deliver a high volume of force or damage over a short distance, making them particularly effective in close-quarters combat or when targeting multiple enemies.
