The practice of transferring a weapon from an arm that has been disabled to the other arm.
This is most commonly done by a person stepping out of immediate combat, switching hands, and then re-entering combat. Some have become fast enough at the practice that they are able to switch hands in mid-swing without having to step out of combat.
[edit] Critism
The magic switch is considered illegal by some chapters and marshals. However, all forms of this practice are currently legal by the Book of War.
At Armageddon 1 War Council, Owen brought forth a motion to ban this practice. The motion failed to gain the required the votes.
The rules reflect that the practice is still legal. Below is a quote of the rules concerning a disabled arm.
- 3.4.2.2. Disabled Arm -- A disabled Arm may not hold anything. If the Arm is disabled by a Class 1 or 2 Weapon then place Arm behind back. If the Arm is disabled by a Class 3 or 4 Weapon, leave Arm dangling limply at side.:
Note that the rule never specifies a time frame in which the arm can not hold anything. This was intentional to allow the practice.
