I forgot to mention I was going to be offline for a few days (trip "up north" to see family - £250 for two days of hotels, fuel, food, so we can swap one boot full of Christmas Presents for another one - madness - especially as it comes out of my bank-account...) - so thanks to everybody for their hard work

That's master assassins for you... come and go as they please. A law unto themselves!
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.
Unlike with battleaxes, using katanas require finesse.
Make sure of your footing. Hold the katana in front of you, perpendicular to the ground, with your dominant hand directly beneath the "tsuba," or guard. Hold your other hand about 15 cm down on the "tsuka," or handle. The little finger on your dominant hand should grip the handle as tightly as possible. The ring finger should grip it slightly less tightly, the middle finger still less tightly and so on up your hand. The index finger of your dominant hand should rest very lightly on the tsuka. Once you're certain the opponent will be sufficiently within your "maai", or strike range, you can <swishchopslicecuthack, bissect > - fatality!
(pose for a immobile pregnant pause for added coolness)
("chiburi", or swing the blood off the blade and sheet it in a single motion for even more coolness)

I call this technique the "16-bit net spammer dicer" - and if the target is barefoot, I can also deliver the 32-bit version with only three more cuts.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

I too could use a sword, or slip a dagger into them, or gut them with my bare claws, or maul them with my fangs.
I could shoot them with my Springfield .308 National Match in Draganov style stock, or a Lance & Ferman laser rifle, or a handblaster, or a Desert Eagle .44, or lob artillery shells at them. Or deploy a tactical nuke.
Or continue to drop an axe on their necks.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how the spammer meets his well deserved fate, my friend. All that matters is that another spammer is put out of commission.

So your anatomy give you a few different options. Other than that, sounds like fun!

Effective, but uncool.

Artillery? Its coolness depends on the gun - it should be a classic, oversized, or both; I'm not below spreading a spammer all over the landscape with the 88 from time to time...
Now, battleaxes and tactical nukes are cool - very cool, if they're frakkin' huge!

Style counts for the lulz, and at the end of the day nothing is cooler than a katana!

Hold the personal comm unit! Are you implying that Hesperus - another card holding member of the Precision Arms Appreciation Society - and his Match certified Mauser are uncool? How can picking one's prey off, with one shot, at distance beyond a mile be uncool?
Ok, the Eagle isn't a distance firearm. But have you seen what a hollowpoint .44 magnum slug does to spam? One word: Splat!

Well... A nuclear warhead isn't very big these days. They can pack 'em in suitcases, doncha know. But it's got a frakkin' huge boom! Blows up entire Hiroshimas and stuff.
