How about a khopesh for us dagger users that want something speedy, but a bit longer? No? What about a scythe? A flail? A whip? Maybe a bo or quarterstaff? Escrima sticks?

How having different-looking versions of weapons to go with with each of the player races? Mercs would get nice, sharp, shiny weapons, while Skaarj guys get savage, brutal, primitive looking weapons. The Juggernauts would get big, heavy, clunky-looking weapons, Robots get super, high-tech stuff, Nightmares get evil, satanic weapons with lots of skulls and spikes and stuff, Gen-Mokai get weird alien-like weapons, and Egyptians get, well, Egyptian stuff.
It would be awesome to have a NERF gun that has the foam bullets and everything. But when you fire it and it hits someone a Rocket explosion goes off for primary. On secondary you fire one (that goes slower) and makes a redeemer explosion (you maybe could only get one shot so no spamming).
Right on the 'wooden sticks' - wrong on the 'eskimo fishing pole'
They're really more training tools than anything, considering escrima is a type of knife fighting. Obviously, training with live iron/steel is a bad idea.
In game, they'd function a bit differently than the daggers, considering they'd probably be a bit longer, and be held point up. Imagine two short swords made of wood and some fancy moves, and you have the idea of escrima sticks.
