'''Class 5 Short''' (often shortened to '''C5S''') contains '''melee weapons''' that could be referred to as side weapons, or in a rough sense, "short melee weapons". On the character's inventory sheet, Class 5 Short weapons are equipped in the '''Holster 1''' or '''Holster 2''' slots.
This weapon class is home to '''6792''' weapons, and is, for the most part, made up of knives, clubs, a variety of crude weapons, and a smaller contingency of various other weapons.
