A traditional sword originating in Japan.
A ninja weapon which looks like a knife. It is very well made and balanced so it can be thrown as well.

A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.
A gun turret is weapon mount designed to protect the user or mechanisms of a weapon system. The weapon itself is not a turret, but rather the protective housing of the user or mechanisms of the weapon system.
