What I held in my hands at that moment was actually my first Gold Grade Weapon.
As you probably know, weapons and armor are divided into several grades.
White, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum make up the entirety of our Earth Based Grades.
White Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to a single unarmed target. Guns, arrows, swords are all White Grade Weapons.
Bronze Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to more than one single unarmed target within a second. Machine guns, grenades, massive oversized swords, hammers and the like.
Silver Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to a single blue mecha. Ultra Heavy Mecha Rifles, Mecha Close Combat Weapons and the like.
Gold Grade Weapons are those that could deal certain death to multiple blue mechas. These sort of weapons were extremely rare, and are usually not mass produced. The triple-core rifles held by the three enemy mechas earlier that day was a good example.
