Description
Made for the criminal community, the Stinger is a small concealable force imbued knife designed to slash and stab in a tight situation. It's primarily made to be used as boot knife or hidden elsewhere on your person to be used at the drop of a dime. Simply pull the weapon, activate the switchblade feature, and go to town. Though it may be small, it's still an incredibly deadly blade when in the hands of an experienced knife wielder.
Strengths. Quick, quiet, and concealable. The Stinger has everything a discerning assassin needs in a blade. You can hide it anywhere on your person and it can be quite hard to detect through pat downs and weapon scanners, what with it the blade being so small and covered in a rubberized zinc alloy. The blade is simply fantastic for targeted attacks your enemy might not even see coming due to its size, the blade is sharp and short enough to pierce through the weak points and gaps of enemy armor mesh that one would traditionally see around the neck, legs, and arms. Simply get in close with the Stinger and it's quite possible to cut ligaments, tendons, and arteries. The Stinger can even deflect lightsaber blades, but we don't recommend trying to do that with the blade being as short as it is. It'd arguably most effective at parrying energy knives or shoto guard sabers. But with it being force imbued it comes with the nifty ability of being able to harm force entities, so take pride in knowing if a force demon tries to drag you to Chaos you can poke him with this.
Weaknesses. In the world of knives we need to be honest, bigger is usually better. The larger the blade, the more trauma is produced. That's just how knives work. So when using Stinger it is important to remember it has a ten centimeter blade, you can still get in plenty of kill shots if you stab at hearts, necks, and other vital areas. But remember that while this blade is sharp it probably won't have enough penetrating power to reach fatal depths when an opponent is wearing serious armor. So make sure you target vital and open areas. That being said, the Stinger is also only effective when you're right up close and personal. It has a very short reach so you really have to get in there. It's still a great blade, but don't overestimate your skills when dealing with other experienced fighters.
Summary. If you're looking for a small sturdy force imbued knife, the Stinger is for you. It's force imbued, concealable, and deadly in a fight. Just be sure to use it when in a pinch and not as an opening number.
