That's been troubling me, and came up with a conclusion it's a 'ranged' melee weapon. So, Bawlter is a melee. Same thing with nunchucks; they are ranged for purpose of fighting in melee, but they do not 'shoot out' anything like arrows, bolts, bullets. It extends the range of arms and fists while arrows and stuff like that are projectile parts of the weapon. That would be my theory. Maybe I was too optimistic considering implementing this kind of weapon.

Another problem I came up with is would it apply Frozen Mallet as a ranged or melee attack?
