Kirkhammer (Bloodborne)
Tumblr media
As someone who finished Bloodborne 5 times already, I have to say, this is one of the most satisfying and fun weapons I've used in gaming.
But what is the Kirkhammer?
It's name comes from the Scottish and former Northern English word "kirk", which means "church". It is often used specifically to refer to the Church of Scotland. Many place names and personal names are also derived from it.
From this information we can infer that the Kirkhammer is, in fact, a church hammer. According to it's in-game description...
"A trick weapon typically used by Healing Church hunters. On the one side, an easily handled silver sword. On the other, a giant obtuse stone weapon, characterized by a blunt strike and extreme force of impact. The Church takes a heavy-handed, merciless stance toward the plague of beasts, an irony not lost upon the wielders of this most symbolic weapon."
Yes, you've read that right, it's also a sword! As with every weapon in Bloodborne, it can transform between two forms, which have different, individual movesets.

Lastly, there is a miniature version of the Kirkhammer made by the Gecco company, from their "Hunter's Arsenal" series. These 1/6 scale figures feature the hunter wielding famous weapons from the game:

Gun Hammer (Monster Hunter Series)
Tumblr media
Ahh, yes, the Gun Hammer, one of the most Iconic designs of the Monster Hunter franchise.
As the name suggests, this weapon is the combination of a hammer with a revolver gun. According to the Monster Hunter wiki:
"A testament to modern tech. Powder in a revolving magazine explodes on impact."
I really like this weapon for it's interesting and absurd concept. It's final, and more elegant, form is the Imperial Gun Hammer, which features a darker metal color, with yellow details and red grips on the handle:

Lastly, and one of the coolest things about it, it actually revolves in the games!!!
