Blood axes? Well, that's not the least bit creepy at all. He can't move out of the way as fast as he would like, so one of the axes collides with his arm and he can feel the impact racing up his nerves. Okay, so that's rattling.

When the General swings the other one, he tries to grab for it--either the blade or the handle--and lock the General's arm to give him chance to send a rain of bullets his way from his shoulder guns.
