Category:Images of melee weapons

Images of melee weapons, such as knives, daggers, swords, polearms and other weapons. This subcategory can also include concealed/assassin weapons that are used like melee weapons.

Due to the existence of personal shield generators, the Dune universe has a more overt emphasis on melee fighting than most other science fiction settings. However, personal shields aren't safe to use in every environment (e.g. on Dune, they attract sandworms), necessitating variations in melee weapon usage and tactics (as shields no longer guarantee protection from lasguns or projectile weapons).
