BRIEFING:
→ Ishida's pride and joy. Ishida developed and is currently testing this weapon for the Aerugese Shogunate. The use of this weapon is not only to cater to Ishida's odd obsession with speed, but it's also to allow the average footsoldier to move in 3 dimensions. In stead of running forward, backward and to either side, they can now go up as well. But, as stated before, this weapon is still in testing and has not yet been cleared for use by anyone other that Ishida. Anyone else in Aerugo's Ministry of Heaven can use this as long as Ishida and the Head of Kajiya Kenkyū clears them for use (until testing completed and the Shogunate accepts it).

Using gas-propelled and gas-retracted wires with anchors on the end, this weapon can fire said anchors up to 150 meters (492 feet). That said, it can fire at a force strong enough to penetrate and latch-onto concrete for up to 50 meters (164 feet).

The use of this weapon requires a strong back and strong legs. Without strong legs, one would not be able to control themselves while using this weapon. Where one to use this without a strong back, they would probably be suffering very bad back pains, shortly after use. Though while it may look like the user in dancing in the air, it's still very possible to overtax one's muscles.

It is possible to use this weapon as a hook, shooting the wire and wrapping it around something, but one would have to manually detach and unwrap the anchor and wire before retracting it. Otherwise, the anchor and/or wire might be damaged, or one would plummet to their death, either by smashing into the ground, or bungee cording horizontally (or vertically, really) without an elastic cord, possibly damaging one's own neck and/or spinal cord.

The training to use this weapon is dangerous and difficult as it is now. Ishida has constructed a four month training regimen, but it's only acceptable to those with quick wits, strong leg and back muscles, and those who have already understand the general concept of the weapon. First month is muscular training, though it happens throughout the whole four months, it's mainly focused on here. This month is for reducing unneeded bulk, while still retaining the strength needed. The focus is to be lightweight and strong at the same time. The second month is mainly for introducing the weapon to the soldiers. Thought they wont yet be using the 3DMG, they will be taught the controls and the parts of the machine in detail. The third month consists of balance and wit training. It will test the soldiers abilities to balance in mid-air, while keeping their wits about them and knowing their surroundings. Ishida will design a machine to deal with this. It will attach wires to the soldier's waist and put them in changing positions in mid-air while they would have soft objects thrown at them. The soldier must dodge these in order to pass. The final month will be training with the actual equipment. This portion of the training may even be extended to at most an extra whole month to complete. The specific details of this training has not been fully explained in detail, nor has the idea even been given to his superiors. Ishida must still test the equipment just a little bit more.

This device is extremely difficult to use in flat areas.

Please note that none of these drawings are to scale, and a few of them were rushed 'cos impatient and tired of redoing it.
A labelled (controls) picture of the control unit is found here.

If any other details are needed here, just say the word.


PICTURE:
→ This weapon consists of 5 units that is the entire weapon. There is the Control Unit, the Launch Unit, the Scabbard/Gas Unit, the Wire Unit, and the Belt Unit. None of these drawings are to scale, and the Belt Unit art was not done by me, I just didn't feel like drawing that one. Also a few of them were rushed 'cos impatient and tired of redoing it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
→ Using gas-propelled and gas-retracted wires with anchors on the end, this weapon can fire said anchors up to 150 meters (492 feet). That said, it can fire at a force strong enough to penetrate and latch-onto concrete for up to 50 meters (164 feet). When reeling (retracting without detaching anchor) in Ishida (150lbs (68kg) + the weight of 3DMG and remaining blades), it can do so at an average speed of 37mph (60kmph).

This device is extremely difficult to use in flat areas.
