Better unique weapon names

[Dynastia]

Knock knock. Thump thump. Pew Pew! Oh, Baby! Pushy. Mercy.

It's pretty clear that at some point the devs gave up on thinking of decent names for the unique weapons and just started naming them the first thing to pop into their heads (unless John Stamos is famous for his grenade machinegunning skills, in which case it's a pretty good name).

So throw out some suggestions to rename some of the worst uniques. I'm pretty certain anybody here can come up with a better name for a fire axe than "knock-knock".

I am not in the best state to be creative today, but Knock-Knock always reminds me of The Shining movie/book specially if I say "Here's Johnny!" right before I chop an enemy with it .

Well I will be checking on this thread in the future, I am curious about all the names people will suggest .

Most people don't actually realize the names came from somewhere. Usually a pop-culture reference. For that reason, I prefer to keep my unique weapon names the way they are.

They're like little bits of trivia, but that's just me. To each his own.

Yes, Knock-Knock is a reference to The Shining, where he breaks through a door with an axe.

i'm with rbroab on this one,

Knock-Knock: rise already pointed out the Shining reference

Thump Thump: as someone who has actually used an [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M79_grenade_launcher]M79 Grenade Launcher[/url], i can tell you this is a perfectly apt name

Pew! Pew!: a kid's version of "Bang! Bang!" for ray-guns (not to mention a tip of the top hat to Mad Moxxie)

otoh, Pushy is kind of lame, but what do you call a weapon that "pushes" somebody really hard?

oh well, to each their own...
