Lunch Money Weapon question

[silversax42]

An argument has arisen in our group. One player has come to the conclusion that since the rules state that weapon cards stay in your hand, that it can be used more than once in the same turn.

For example,

p1: knife
p2:humiliation
p1:humiliation + knife (again)

or

p1: knife
p2: block
p1: imaginary friend + knife (again)

Is this right? Or, since the actions don't resolve till the end of the turn is the knife already comitted and therefore out of play till the end of the turn?

Actually it says:

Unlike Basic Attack Cards,
Weapon Cards return to your hand after
use (unless countered by a DISARM).
These cards may be DODGED, BLOCKED,
or DISARMED.

So you do have to play it out of your hand. But I guess it doesn't actually say when it gets returned to your hand.

It is clarified in the Sticks and Stones supplement:

Player Action Outcome
•Bob TANTRUM/Ann Ann may defend
Bob describes
TANTRUM
Ann BLOCK + Ann counters the 5
FASTER/Bob attacks from TANTRUM
as if with 5 BLOCKS
GRAB/Bob Bob may defend
Bob No defense Bob is GRABBED
Ann Free CHUNK Bob can’t defend
/Bob and loses 3 counters
Ann describes
CHUNK
GRAB/Bob Bob may defend
Bob No defense Bob is GRABBED
Ann Free CHUNK Bob can’t defend
/Bob and loses 3 counters
Ann describes
CHUNK
Bob GRAB/Ann Ann may defend
Ann No defense Ann is GRABBED
Bob Free PIMP Ann can’t defend
SLAP/Ann and loses 2 counters
Bob Draw 3 cards
Ann Draw 4 cards

Ann piles on more damage with
GRABS, since FASTER is working as 5
BLOCKS. Because it’s a weapon,
CHUNK returns to her hand after each
attack. But by leaving 3 BLOCKS
“unused,” Ann also opens herself to
Bob’s GRAB and counter-attack.

So after each attack (as opposed to after the end of the turn) the weapon does go back to your hand.
