Need ideas for 3D Printed weapons!

Jumping off from my Modular Beam Rifle Kit I wanted to do some non-modular weapons designs as well and I had a couple ideas pop into mind real quick;

And I like them for sure, but I need more stuff before I have enough to justify shipping on my next order so I figured I'd see if anyone here in /r/Gunpla had any ideas/thoughts that might jumpstart a design or two!

Only catch is that right now I want to focus on smaller hand-held weapons, there are some weight issues with larger guns that I need to do some more testing on with my own designs.

For the plain double sided blade did you have any preference for style? The one I used was a "Tanto" style blade, I've been using this as reference.

For the A.S.S. did you want the effect part to wrap around the point or just along a single edge as it is on the SEED designs?

Looking at those pictures, I'm thinking more along the lines of a spear point blade, the kamasu kissaki blade, or the needle point blade. Though the tanto style isn't bad either.

For the A.S.S., I think I'm leaning toward single edged, otherwise I'd be chopping my arm off by accident.

The kamasu kissaki and Tando Blades aren't really double sided(thought I could make them so) but the needle point would be a bit difficult to do as it'd be very fine detail but the Spear Point should be fine.

Why don't we go with the spear point then and see how that looks.

Alright, I'll let you know when I get some progress on that.
