They can break skin and dent armor, but are not powerful enough to go all the way through most things at their current, non-upgraded state. The rivets travel at the speed of a normal bullet from a pistol, but are not automatic; they must be fired one at a time, and there's a reload period of approximately a second in between each shot; an enemy with high SPD might be able to simply avoid the shots. The rivet gun's chamber can hold approximately 60 of these normal, non-upgraded rivets before the full thing must be reloaded. (300 OM)

Drill: The iconic melee weapon of a Big Daddy, Eleanor has the ability to transform the attachment on her left arm (normally the syringe) into a gigantic drill. The drill has two functions -- when turned off, it can be used as a simple melee weapon to bludgeon enemies. It weighs approximately ten pounds, is about two feet long, and is equivalent to a rather large hammer, and to enemies with a low DEF, it can cause a good bit of damage. Its second function occurs when Eleanor activates it, and it begins to spin at about half the speed of a normal drill. It can drill very slowly into normal skill and is mostly useless against any type of metallic armor; in those instances, it reverts essentially back to a bludgeoning weapon. (600 OM)

Avoid phrases like:
"They can break skin and dent armor, but are not powerful enough to go all the way through most things at their current, non-upgraded state."
And
"It can drill very slowly into normal skill and is mostly useless against any type of metallic armor; in those instances, it reverts essentially back to a bludgeoning weapon"

As it's dependant on your ATK vs their DEF. For the latter, if you had like 10 ATK from a powerup, you could drill through literal armoured tanks with it. Either leave it vague and say "moderately strong". Or that it usually does "moderate damage". Or you could be more specific and say "she uses it to drill into people. This is usually fairly slow, with effectiveness based on her ATK and their DEF."

Anyway, for the Rivet Gun:
>How long does it take to reload the whole thing?
>Add in that it needs ranged proficiency.
>Add a rough size of the rivets (bullet-sized could work, as could a rough measurement in cm/inches).

For the Drill, just add in that it needs physical attack proficiency, and state that the effectiveness of drilling into people is based on your ATK and their DEF.
