Not quite accurate. D is a samurai sword with a machine-gun 
attached that also has one of these bad boys on the other end:

The problem is that it's many tools in one, some of which don't 
work as well as they could together, and make it a complicated 
tool to master (but extremely versatile when you do). It comes 
with an instruction manual that tells you the function of each 
different piece, but not how different pieces can be used 
together to make things easier.
