Revisions to be reviewed: Replacing the Weapon Description by this:
Smile is a specially made, custom tonfa-style nightstick. The shape and size are comparable to Legion's Military Police standard truncheon. This isn't simply a non-lethal pacification countermeasure however: this is the weapon of a Huntress who likes it up close and personal. From tip to tip, in its basic form, Smile is 30 inches long, and made of a special tungsten and steel alloy, which is then covered by 7 layers of para-aramid synthetic fiber (akin to Kevlar) that has been specially treated to mitigate Dust effect damage.
What controls the weapon is the handle, which is shaped like a reversed handgun grip, and looks like a remote detonator. Three triggers control the various mechanisms that this weapon holds. The main trigger is located on the middle finger position of the handle. This trigger controls a large ball-bearing located in the joint between Smile's handle and its body. Once depressed, it "unlocks" the weapon's body and enable it to be spun without having to release one's grip on the handle. The trick to this is in the wrist. This enables quick changes between an offensive and defensive position. When released, the weapon's body will re-lock itself automatically when it comes back to its default idle position.
The second trigger is activated by the index finger, and also serves as an mechanical enabler. The tonfa's body can break down in smaller components and form a long, blunt, and brutally vicious chain. A press of this trigger is what turns the larger part of the stick into a 3 meter (9,8 ft) whip. Releasing the trigger winds the chain back into a stick.
The smaller part of the tonfa's main shaft is outfitted with a bolt-action loading mechanism which offers the possibility of inserting Dust cartridges into the weapon. This is where the third trigger comes into play. Activated by the thumb, it unleashes a load of Dust into the weapon's main shaft. Through an intricate system of small vents and spaces between the compressed links of the weapon, the loaded dust can be activated to imbue Smile with elemental properties. In it's stick form, the weapon will distribute Dust upon successful hits to create a small elemental explosion, which adds some kick to the impact. Usually, about 10 hits can be delivered by cartridge before it needs to be replaced.
When the Dust is released into the Smile when in whip mode, it travels along the length of the chain in a manner resembling a detonating cord. Small elemental explosions will run along the full length on the whip. When used in this fashion, the Dust cartridge only triggers once, but with devastating effect. Xanthia uses this function after constricting a foe with Smile's chain for maximum damage. When used with a partially used Dust load, the effect will be significantly weaker.
