Read about the weapons.

Some of these seem pretty cool! It takes you a long time of looking and thinking, but eventually you narrow it down to three choices.

Dual Electrified Batons
These are cool! It's blunt **** trauma made fun. It goes up to 300 volts, but you could probably tinker with it a bit to up that. It's fast, it makes both hands useful, and it's easy to learn! And probably really fun too. Hits harder when you get stronger, and can be as lethal as you want! They can stun humans! There might even be other non-combat uses for an electrified baton, but who are you to think of any right now?

Greataxe! Hammer! Great Big Axe Hammer!
GIANT HAMMER THAT IS SHARP. GIANT HAMMER THAT IS SHARP. TWO HANDS ON THE HANDLE FOR TWICE THE STRENGTH. SLEDGEAXE. SLEDGEAXE. POWER. KILL. INCREASE STRENGTH TO DECREASE MONSTER POPULATION. SLEDGEAXE. SLEDGEAXE. SLEDGEAXE.

Pistol and Targe Shield
A five-chamber pepperbox pistol for one hand, and a sturdy round shield for the other arm's forearm. Maybe if you end up doing really well with these, next year you can have a pistol in each hand and a shield on each forearm? What a dream come true that'd be! With enough practice, the shield might be able to make up for less-than-stellar armour, plus with the pistol you might never even get close enough for the armour to matter. Otherwise, if you plan to get close, it could be useful for knocking away attacks to leave an opponent open for the pepperbox. Each attack will be more powerful than the other weapons when it hits, but after five tries you have to take a bit of time before you can attack again. Plus, it's way easier to miss with this than with a SLEDGEAXE BIG AXE HAMMER BIG.
