==Description==
 +
While most 'Mechs are equipped with ranged weaponry, melee weaponry is also both feasible and useful due to increased damage (over a punch) and a lack of heat buildup. The '''Sword''' is a melee attack weapon used by some [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]]. Developed in [[3058]] by the [[Draconis Combine]]<ref>''TechManual, p. 237''</ref> as an "honorable" alternative to the "crude" Lyran [[Hatchet]], the Sword inflicts almost as much damage as a Hatchet and offers a better hit probability due to its exceptional balance.<ref>''TechManual, p. 237''</ref>
