Having more than one weapon is a good thing. It gives you more versatility in combat, letting you handle more problems than someone with only one weapon. Unfortunately, carrying around many weapons is a hassle -- not everyone has a [[Bag of Holding]], after all. Even if they could, they sort of have to [[Rummage Fail|rummage around their stuff to look for that one weapon that'll give them the edge]], which is a bit of a problem in the middle of battle. So what can a character do if they want the versatility of, oh, say... ten pointy and blasty things?

* ''[[The Sword and The Sorcerer (Film)|The Sword and The Sorcerer]]'' features a three-bladed sword whose blades shoot out like frigging rockets! [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|It also has a dagger in its handle.]]

* In ''First Blood'' and ''Rambo: First Blood, Part II'', Rambo's knife has a variety of additional functions. In the weapons department, he can tie it to a stick (there are holes in the hilt to thread the cord through) and make a spear. It also has a compass, thread and needle for stitches, fishing hooks for fishing, waterproof matches and two screwdrivers (which form the hilt).
