My own feelings is epee, but given that I am an (ex) Epee fencer, well, that sort
of follows.
I think that "Sword" names are the way to go with this weapon, given it's "Rapier"
background.

BTW, when I listed the "Modern" ADA system names, I did not list the current UK
system. Why? Well, it's "Rapier".

I would love to lay hands on a 1:220 or so scale model of a "Tracked Rapier"
system. Looks sort of like the 6 missile Ordinates thing, but based on a Rhino
APC. Modern mobile ADA units just look, well, weird.
