Phantom Blade
The Phantom Blade was a modification to the Hidden Blade adopted by the French Assassins. It added a firing-dart mechanism to the Hidden Blade, making it both fast and deadly at long range.[1]
Usage
The Phantom Blade could be loaded with two types of projectiles: lethal and berserk poison darts, allowing Assassins like Arno Dorian a silent kill or distraction.[2]
Trivia
- A similar device known as the "Hidden Bolt" was made by Leonardo da Vinci in the 1500s for s Francesco Vecellio. As he was not yet of the proper rank to use a Hidden Gun, this acted as a silent, smaller, lighter alternative that fired small crossbow bolts.[3]
