Manticore- specialized whip with a barbed, claw end.
((KINGDOM SPECIFIC))
Specific details:

• Handle is wood, wrapped with supple leather which provided extra grip, while not adding as much weight. the handle itself is 1 foot long with a 3/4 inch diameter. The length of the handle provides good control with one hand, and extra strength/accuracy with two hands are used.
  
• The thong of the whip is measured to exactly 15 feet. It is made of the same durable leather that covers the handle. It tapers towards the end, as a standard whip would.
  
• What makes the whip interesting is that instead of a cracker, there is a claw at the end of the whip. The claw itself is like a lion's paw with the nails of a falcon's talon. The paw itself is 3 inches long, while the talons portrude perpindicularly to the paw. The nails themselves arehalf an inch. At the end of the nails are 2 milimeter long barbs. When used correctly, the nails themselves can pierce through say, a helmet, and with enough force the helmet could be ripped off.
  
• covering the paw are 2 milimeter long barbs. They act like velcro when attached to skin and leather. When the whip is pulled back, it rips out chunks of flesh, pieces of leather armor, etc.
  

O.O.C. explination: I saw Prince of Persia, and the whips that those bad guys used really intrigued me. So I thought hey, what if instead of just having those little claws, there were barbs all along the paw. They would dig into skin and leather, and just rip it out. Plus, the whip could still be used to disarm weapons, rip chunks of wood out of a shield, and even remove certain pieces of leather armor.

All in all, I don't think it's a bad idea. If anyone has any modifications that they would would help make this thing even better, feel free to add your input. If not, then I guess it's ready to see if Steve'll approve it.

Also, I think that this "weapon" would really be turned into a specific unit or something.

Resonation Battering Ram - Seige weapon, a very heavily modified version of the traditional battering, yet much more powerful. (GLOBAL)

(Just gonna follow Vilakazi's example)
Details:

----The main body of the Resonation Battering Ram is made of wood with thin iron plates making up the floor of the inside and walls to protect the inner mechanisms.

----It has a giant lever which is situated at the top of the Battering Ram and is made of iron. The crewmen pull the handle down with large ropes until it touches the front of the battering ram. This lever will act as a kind-of spring that will push the ram forward at a tremendous speed, making it stronger. When the lever is on the front of the ram, another crewman inserts a large iron pin that stops the lever from springing back before the crewmen are out of the way.

----When the lever is fastened and ready to attack, one brave crewman quickly removes the pin and shields himself. The lever springs backwards to it's original position at a speed of 70 m.p.h. When springing back, it pushes the ram forward at a great speed, making it more destructive than a regular battering ram.

----It has space inside it's metal shell to hold 15 crewmen plus 7 guards. The crewmen take turns pushing the massive 4 tonne war machine. There are 40 crewmen in total.

----Drawbacks include large size, slow movement speed, huge amount of men needed to opperate it, a very high probability of it crashing through the framework of the battering ram if not serviced properly and the weakness of the wheel could cause them to break and leave it stranded on the battlefield.

OOC: Ok, this is finished now... so yeah... if you have any questions you can PM me or contact me on the chatbox. I think this is ready for Steve to review. ^-^ Hope everyone likes it
