Right now, the Kerrblade is handled as a misc item by the equiping code. This raises some problems.<BR>
1. It´s huge. It needs two hands to use it. Thus, it would be much more logical for an alien to have a Kerrblade and a sidearm than it would be to have a rifle and a Kerrblade.<BR>
2. An alien equiped with a Kerrblade will always only have its Kerrblade. Nothing else.<BR>
3. Of course the Kerrblade can be used as a backup weapon. But in this case it will go to the backpack and we will rarely see it in action.<BR>

If we handle the Kerrblade as a primary weapon, we loose nothing. But it would give us a much better diversity. We could e.g give an alien a Kerrblade, a sidearm as a backup weapon and additional misc items.
