I see it less as a combat weapon, and more as a tool for the combat engineer or construction worker... even a medical assistant for med vehicles... remote operation unit, or a suit to lift the patient, or crushed car over patient, etc...

Phew, I'm glad to hear it's capable of "prancing and dancing" - that'll help get you out of a sticky combat situation! (?!?) :D

Yes it will... even if your leg is broken.

Sometimes called a shako, was part of the traditional dress of some European soldiers during the eighteenth century. The decorations included braid and metal badges. In a few military groups, the hat included a large feathered plume attached to the front center. The shako-type hat is best known in modern times as the costume hat worn by the Nutcracker in the traditional holiday ballet and the favorite costume for toy soldiers.
