Flail Sword Module
Adapted from bundles of prehensile tendrils and the dendritic machine manipulators of robotic telesurgery, flail swords actually resemble a threshing fountain of cutting and whirling tentacle cables. Flail modules are typically mounted in banked arrays, blossoming in a hypnotic rippling harmony as a weaving loom of machine-controlled branches, forests of amputating wires that will swiftly eviscerate all meat into ribbons.
When fully deployed the high velocity spinning mesh forms a curtain sheaf of scything metal that will cut down projectiles and deflect kinetic and ballistic assault, though a massive sustained barrage of gunfire will eventually bring down this temporary shield of spinning metal filaments. The hollow cable mechanisms of some flail sword modules are known to incorporate electroshock or neurotoxin venom applicators.
