Even an impoverished pirate could probably afford a generic model cannon for his ship, but high-grade weaponry demands a major hunk of booty. Aspiring buccaneers must work their way up, preying on ships with inferior cannons to boost their armament budget.

DAMAGE: See Cutlass. Any pirate worth his salt carries a sword because he never knows when some other brigand will challenge him. Of course, in Guybrush's part of the Caribbean, sword fighting is always accompanied by insults. The pirate must have a tongue as sharp as his blade if he wants to hang onto his treasure. DAMAGE: One point (It's on the end of the blade. . . get it?) The Scissors pirate barbers would think of using these as a weapon, but they might be useful if you were attacked by a hydrangea or a bougainvillea. DAMAGE: A really bad hair day. Only The Pistol are still pretty primitive at the time of our story, so they are mostly used for one-shot situations like a duel of honour. RANGE: About ten paces. The Cream Pie Only a rat would use this as a weapon. DAMAGE: Sugar Rush.
