Nerd-boy’s Battlegear implements an entirely new weapon system to minecraft. Pressing the ‘I’ button or clicking your player character in the Inventory screen will bring up the Weapon Inventory Screen.
Weapons can be placed in the main hand or off hand slots. These weapons will be displayed on your player model when you go into 3rd person view. Weapons can be switched between sheathed and drawn by pressing the ‘R’ Key
Items displayed in the following table are able to be placed in the weapon slots. There is an option in the config file to allow the use of weapons from other mods. My view on this mod is pretty good because it was pretty fun toying around with it xD, I made a gaint zombie army (5000 Zombies) And fought them all off with this epic mod (After 30 mins xD) It just adds another spark to Minecraft that makes me want to play it even more.
Heres a video explaining it 
Crafting!!!
Waraxe (OF DOOM)
Mace (Club)
Spear (Pokey stick)
Shield (PUSH DEM CREEPERS BACK)
Armor (Chain mail)

when i killed the ender dragon i lost my items in the draw slots and was unable to use the draw slots after putting other stuff in idk if its because of the end or the enchantments. dont know if this helps but thought i would mention it
