− | Any | + | Any {{L|weapon}} in Fortress Mode can be placed into a {{L|Trap#Weapon Trap|weapon trap}}. However, there are four '''trap components''', or '''trap weapons''', that are ''specifically'' for weapons traps. As with any weapon, any number of these can be put in a single weapon trap, creating a true "Indiana Jones" type of threat to any beast of any size, and potentially simply making a fine mince (or paste, depending on the weapons) of lesser creatures. |
In the order they appear on the various menus, they are the '''large, serrated disc''', the '''spiked ball''', the '''enormous corkscrew''', and the '''giant axe blade'''. | In the order they appear on the various menus, they are the '''large, serrated disc''', the '''spiked ball''', the '''enormous corkscrew''', and the '''giant axe blade'''. | ||
In Adventure Mode, these trap components can actually be wielded in combat; in Fortress Mode, their only meaningful use is in your mechanics' contraptions. | In Adventure Mode, these trap components can actually be wielded in combat; in Fortress Mode, their only meaningful use is in your mechanics' contraptions. | ||

While amusing, this can create several {{L|hauling}} tasks for {{L|dwarves}} as they have to move each severed {{L|chunks|body part}} to a {{L|butcher's shop}} or {{L|stockpile|refuse pile}}. While large serrated discs do less damage than trap components like the giant axe blade, they attack three times, giving this trap weapon the highest potential damage of any weapon that can be mounted in a {{L|trap}}. |

Giant axe blades deal more {{L|damage}} per hit than do large, serrated discs, but only strike once, compared to the disc's three attacks. Thus the large, serrated disc generally does more damage than the giant axe blade. |
