Useful for chopping wood and heads alike, axes are often pressed into service as weapons. An axe's wide, cleaving head is effective against armor, making it a slower and more powerful weapon than [[I Like Swords|a sword]], though not quite as massive as a [[Drop the Hammer|hammer]]<ref>except in [[Real Life]]</ref> . Smaller axes, such as the tomahawk or the francisca, can be used as throwing weapons. In certain media, they may even return to the user's hand like a [[Precision-Guided Boomerang|boomerang]], though they have the tendency to stick in enemies if they score a hit.
