Do you think it's possible for American soldiers to wield wristblades akin to those in Assassin's Creed and it's sequels in the military? For a close up kill, I have to imagine it would be faster than a regular knife, or even a gun, in certain circumstances. I could even see it as something to wear behind enemy lines in an undercover scenario, in case poo poo goes south and you need a quick, silent kill. I would think the knife could be activated with some sort of electronic trigger, maybe a hand motion, I actually don't know how the one in Assassin's Creed works exactly. Regardless, if properly designed, I feel as though wristblades could be an important part of the American arsenal.

I just watched iron man 3 for the first time today, and Tony Stark uses a wrist blade pretty effectively.

I'd just like to see the sort of damage an American soldier could do with such a weapon.
