What's the melee equivalent of grapeshot?

Grapeshot was supposed to be used at the ship equivalent of knife fighting range anyway so... Grapeshot?

>you want to backstab him with a balista?

A shotgun

>He's denied his Dex bonus, right?
Furious pageflipping ensues.

Great cleave

A pitchfork?

Throwing a bucket of $1 knives at someone.

>the melee equivalent of grapeshot

Hydro-dynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive.

A trident.

Deez nuts

A blackjack full of exploding pellets and nails

Launching small metal balls out of a small cannon.
