Muramasa Idea
 

Hmmmm i've been thinking muramasa is a boring weapon no one uses it and if you do they die very quickly, so I was thinking why not make a muramasa able to shield bullets. Here's how it would work your character would hold it out and use it like some samurai or something and you would still take damage but maybe it would be reduced by 1/4 or by 1/2 so here's some idea's on what you would do to activate the shield type position.
Hold down the (S, space bar, D w/e you put it on) and you will put it up instead of continually hacking away. (which will inturn reduce laming with the weapon)
OR
2 handed muramasa S is slash D is defend hehe.....
Place your input and tell me what you think...

murmasa is better then the combat knife close range, very fast attack, good range.. especially in alpha its good with all the trees as cover for bullets.
