- "Melee Weapons that become guns are fricking awesome!"
- ― Linkara (Atop the Fourth Wall)
- "Is that a scythe?!"
"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle."
"Uh, what?"
"It's also a gun." - ― Jaune Arc and Ruby Rose (RWBY)
- "Voila, the ZF-1. It's light; handle's adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties; breaks down into four parts, undetectable by X-ray, ideal for quick discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, 3000-round clip with bursts of 3 to 300, and with the Replay button (another Zorg invention) it's even easier. One shot... (shoots training dummy) ...and Replay sends every following shot to the same location. (demonstrates by spraying bullets at the Mangalore warriors; the bullets arc back to the training dummy) And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies but goldies. Rocket launcher... arrow launcher (with exploding or poisonous gas heads), very practical... our famous net launcher... the always-efficient flamethrower, my favorite... and for the grand finale, the all-new 'Ice-cube System'."
