Introduced in 3022 by the Lyran Commonwealth[1]. 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, especially due to a lack of noticeable heat buildup.

In the BattleTech board game, the Hatchet is swung in the physical attack phase at -1 to hit, dealing a point of damage for every five tons of weight.[2] Notable 'Mechs equipping Hatchets include the Hatchetman, the Axman, the Buccaneer, the Berserker, and a variant of the Black Knight.
