A.o.e Swing and able to knock down barricades, WE have a winner!
Considering that, in most cases, welded doors HELP humans more than specimens, I'd say that a door-shattering axe is actually more of a prime tool for griefing than a tool to prevent it...
And in addition to AoE effect (Light damage for everything but a dead-on hit with this addition, of course!), knock back things that are hit by the area-effect slightly.
If given this, it'd need a price increase too, IMO, but wouldn't be "The poor-man's Katana". Even with buffs, it's still so far outshined by the Katana, though, that you'd probably STILL seldom see it used.
I'd really like to see it made slower, but have DEVASTATING damage, so we don't have another 'Swing as fast as you can until everything dies' type of weapon.
*Sigh* I remember absolutely LOVING the Fire Axe when Killing Floor Retail was first released. I daresay it helped me learn the ropes of Berserking more than the Chainsaw did, with the movment, timing of attacks, and picking of targets. Now it almost seems like a forgotten weapon. No such nostalgia for the Machete, though! In my eyes, it was always a crap weapon for 1-shotting clots and nothing more!
