As a Filipino, I thank Omolon gave us a weapon in my Country's mythology
The Kumakatok HC4 is reference to Philippine mythology. It's about Door Knockers that gave bad omens to people. (
So far, people of my kind is rare in this community
Has Bungie ever reference something international like this (Other than Susanoo)

Edited by Soul_Eater_42: 10/6/2015 12:46:56 AMYep. There are tons of weapons in this game with references to mythology, movies, literature, and other things. Some obvious, others more obscure. A couple of examples include: -- The 2 handcannons , The Devil You Know, and the Devil You Don't, which are both a reference to the idiom, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know". --the handcannon, TFWPKY 1969, is a reference to "the fall will probably kill ya!", a line from the 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. --Radegast's Fury, which is a reference to Radegast, the Slavic god of hospitality, fertility, crops, the Sun, and war. --The Fourth Horseman, obviously, is a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the 4th of which is Death. --Against All Odds, the machine gun, who's flavor text reads "odds of survival at 3,721:1" is a reference to The Empire Strikes Back, when C-3PO tells Han Solo that the odds for successfully navigating an asteroid field are "approximately 3,720 to 1" --Susanoo, the Warlock Fusion Rifle, is a reference to Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the Shinto god of the sea and storms in Japanese Mythology.
