I'm trying to visualize a situation where some dude gets an exotic axe (or maybe several thousand dudes) and what happens when they go up against some futuristic commando squad with either ceramic or powered armor, equipped with some sort of single-piece weapons with full-auto rifles as the main weapon and a shotgun fixed where a bayonet would go in a present day rifle, with close support by similarly armored fellows with high powered fragmentation launchers and/or gatling guns. The reaction by the commandoes is more likely to be amusement than fear. That scenario's just so full of wrong...
