Introduced in 3022 by the Lyran Commonwealth. The Hatchet is a melee attack weapon equipped on BattleMechs. While most 'Mechs are equipped with ranged weaponry, melee weaponry is also both feasible and useful due to a number of special features hatchets of all sizes share. The hatchet is comparable in effectiveness to a kick, however it is not limited to hitting the legs of the target.
