===Getting Close And Personal===
When it comes to effective Melee weapons, Chain weapons are a good choice, as they usually give you more damage than a typical rifle and with Tearing, there's a higher chance of Righteous Fury, allowing you to potentially stun-lock the enemy. 

Low-tech warhammers make the opponent test Toughness at -10  or get stunned on every hit and fall prone (unless they're very strong, and you roll badly on damage). This offers opportunity to stun-lock opponents without relying on getting Righteous Fury and rolling the right effect. Their only problem is the Primitive (8) quality, but that can be resolved by giving it to a feral worlder, or applying mono upgrade (can be done for starting character for the price of one requisition), or both. Flip side, leaving the Primitive quality can be a good idea if you intend to capture some of the weaker opponents alive for interrogation.
