How to get: you start the game with this
Hands: 1
Damage: +8/+0
Defense: +0/+0
Speed: -5
Description: ながいしゃていとほうふなたまでほにょうせいがたかい
Not a very strong weapon, but it does have
elemental attacks. It also has the healing bullet,
which none of the other guns have. Its ammo
chamber only holds 5 shots, so it is not good
for long trips. Except for the ちゅうだん attack,
its attacks must have line-of-sight with an
enemy: in other words, you can't target an enemy
if another enemy is in front of it. This is a major
disadvantage compared to other guns like the
Gatling gun arm.

Attack type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range within line-of-sight)

shell, to hit a target who is not in your line-of-sight.
Slightly less damage than a standard shot.

Targets: 1 enemy (any range within line-of-sight)
Ammo: 5 shots
Description: ふししゃをたおしれいりょくを　もふういんする
Instantly kills any undead spirit. (May
include summoned creatures?) Does no
damage to some enemies and normal
damage to others. Automatically misses
bosses.

ほしゅうだん
How to get: comes with weapon
Attack type: healing
Targets: 1 ally
Ammo: 5 shots
Description: heals 100 points of damage to yourself
or your partner. More space-efficient than repair
kits, but the overall weakness of the handgun's
other attacks may not be worth carrying a handgun
just for the healing.

Attack Type: special
Targets: all enemies (any range)
Ammo: 5 shots
Description:いりょくはないがときおりてきをこんらんさせる
This attack does less damage than the
normal attack, but all enemies will be
hit. Also, there is a chance that an enemy
will become confused.

How to get: comes with weapon
Attack type: healing
Targets: 1 ally

********** PART II: KOUBU PARTS
**********
************************************************************
************************************************************

---------------------------------------------
PART: こうぶかい (Koubu Mk II body)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: +0/+0
Defense: +0/+0
Speed: +0
The basic koubu-kai body. No special advantages
or disadvantages.

---------------------------------------------
PART: こうぶ　タンク (Koubu Tank body)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: +5/-5
Defense: +5/-5
Speed: -25
You can withstand physical attacks better and
hit harder, but you are more vulnerable to magical
attacks and your magic is weaker. Also, you are
slower. However, wind will not affect you when
moving on the adventure map (also, maybe wind
attacks don't affect you in battle?)

---------------------------------------------
PART: アイセンクライト (Eisenkleid body)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: -5/+3
Defense: -5/+3
Speed: +10
You sacrifice physical power and armor for
greater magical power and resistance. Also,
you are faster.

---------------------------------------------
PART: ノーマルうで　(normal arm)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: +6/+0
Defense: +0/+0
Speed: +0
The normal arm allows you to carry weapons
in your hands. If you have extra weapons in
your backpack, you can change weapons by
pressing Left in the main battle menu while
you have a weapon selected.

---------------------------------------------
PART: ガトリングうで　(Gatling gun arm)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: +15/+0
Defense: +0/+0
Speed: -5
The Gatling gun arm allows you to carry a
powerful gun in your arm. However, you cannot
hold any other weapon while you have this
arm equipped, because it has no hand! Its
advantages outweigh its inflexibility, because
it can attack targets that the normal handgun
cannot. It can't heal allies like the handgun, but
it can gain the ability to dispel unnatural creatures
and to create smokescreens.

SKILLS:
うつ
How to get: comes with weapon
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: none
Description: ?
standard attack; better than the standard
handgun's shot because you don't need
line-of-sight. You can hit any enemy.

れんしゃ
How to get: comes with weapon
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: 9 shots
Description: てき１たいを　しゅうちゅうほうか
A burst of bullets strikes 1 enemy. Certain
enemies are more vulnerable to this, but
many enemies take only a minor amount
of damage more than the standard attack's
amount.

あらしのたま
How to get: ?
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: 9 shots
Description: あらしのちからを　ふうじたたまをうちこむ
Wind force strikes an enemy.

ほのおのたま
How to get: ?
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: 9 shots
Description: ほのおのちからを　ふうじたたまをうちこむ
Fire force strikes an enemy.

だいちのたま
How to get: ?
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: 9 shots
Description: だいちのちからを　ふうじたたまをうちこむ
Earth force strikes an enemy.

ぎんのたま
How to get: ?
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (any range)
Ammo: 9 shots
Description: ふししゃをたおしれいりょくを　もふういんする
Instantly kills any undead spirit. (May
include summoned creatures?) Does no
damage to some enemies and normal
damage to others. Automatically misses
bosses.

えんまくだん
How to get: ?
Attack Type: special
Targets: none
Ammo: 9 smokescreens
Description: えんまくをはりせんとうを　ほうきする
Creates a smokescreen so you can
retreat instantly, instead of waiting
a full round. Much more space-efficient
than the standard smokescreen and
exceptionally useful for the long end
run between the last save point and
the final boss. RECOMMENDED.

---------------------------------------------
PART: デカうで (punching arm)
---------------------------------------------
Attack: +20/+0
Defense: +3/+0
Speed: -8
The punching arm cannot hold a weapon. It is
specifically designed for hand-to-hand combat.
It can cause a lot of damage, and it is a very fast
weapon, too. Furthermore, it can gain the ability
to create decoys, so you can prevent summonings
or prevent melee fighters from getting within melee
range. It can push enemies farther away and
even push enemies into other enemies, causing
damage to both!

SKILLS:
パンチ (punch)
How to get: comes with weapon
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (short range)
Ammo: none
Description: ?
standard attack

でこピン (Jedi force push! :-) )
How to get: ?
Attack Type: physical
Targets: 1 enemy (short range)
Ammo: 4 ki/use
Description: きょうれつな　でこピンは　てきをふきとばす
Knocks an enemy back a full step. If
another enemy is already there, the target
will not move back any farther, but the
impact of the two enemies will hurt both
of them.

デコイ (decoy)
How to get: ?
Attack Type: special
Targets: empty space
Ammo: 3 decoys
Description: ないぞうのおとり　にんぎょうを　ななつ
Creates a decoy koubu balloon in an empty
space. More space-efficient than the standard
decoys. RECOMMENDED.

カウンター (counter)
How to get: Kanna rescues きりしま　たくや in the cave in part 6
Attack Type: special
Targets: self
Ammo: 4 ki/use
Description: てきのかくとうわじに　あれせて　はんげきする
If an enemy attacks you at short range with a
physical attack, you will block it for no damage
and strike back. The counter stance remains
for a few rounds, or until you are struck by a
physical attack. EXCELLENT MOVE.

********** PART III: ITEMS
**********
************************************************************
************************************************************

---------------------------------------------
ITEM: リパアキット (repair kit)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 2x2
Restores 100 hit points to yourself or an ally.

---------------------------------------------
ITEM: リスターター (restart)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 3x3
Revives an ally with full hit points. Later in the game,
these are better than the repair kits when your characters
have over 200 hit points.

---------------------------------------------
ITEM: デコイ (decoy)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 2x2
Creates a decoy koubu in the middle of the enemy
formation. These are really good against big bosses
who summon minions (especially the last one!),
because they can take up the space a minion would
normally take. Try to position a decoy in the middle of
two enemy spaces so it will block both spaces.

---------------------------------------------
ITEM: トリモチ(bird crap)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 2x3 -1 block
Slows down the target for a short time.

---------------------------------------------
えんまく　(smoke screen)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 2x1
This allows you to retreat instantly, instead of having to
wait for a full round to pass.

---------------------------------------------
てなげだん (grenade)
---------------------------------------------
Size: 1x2
Causes heavy damage to all enemies.
