Is Cleave Equipment? LSJ?

When Cleave is used to create a melee weapon, is that weapon Equipment? The reason to ask is obviously the various cards that stop Equipment working, and the fact that both Weighted Walking Stick and Zip Gun specifically say they are Equipment when they come into play and this does not. Thanks, Sam Cleave [NoR:C] Cardtype: Combat Virtue: Vengeance Choose a melee weapon this imbued has or spend 1 conviction to put this card on this imbued to represent a melee weapon that does strength damage each strike. This melee weapon inflicts +1 additional damage [this action]. If the opposing minion is (or becomes) immune to non-aggravated damage, he or she loses that immunity for handling damage from this weapon. Burn the melee weapon at the end of the action. Weighted Walking Stick Type: Combat Only usable before range is determined on the first round. Put this card on this minion and put 5 counters on this card. While in play, this card represents a melee weapon (and counts as equipment while in play). This weapon does strength+1 damage each strike. For each point of damage inflicted by this strike (even if it is prevented), remove a counter from this card. Burn this card when it has no counters. A minion can have only 1 Weighted Walking Stick. Zip Gun Type: Combat Before range is determined, put this card on this minion. This card represents an equipment card and doesn't count as a combat card while in play. This equipment is a Weapon, Gun. Ammo cards cannot be used with this gun. It does 1R damage each strike, with an optional maneuver each combat. Bearer takes 1 damage during strike resolution when this gun is used, but only once each combat. This card is kept as normal equipment and is not discarded after combat.

[ quoted text not captured ] Weapons are equipment by default. Much like guns are weapons by default oscar

Similarly, vampires are minions by default. The vampire created by The Embrace is a minion. (Not sure if "by default" is right there -- there're no exceptions to override the defaults, so "by definition" may be more appropriate, for both cases).

Wow, quick responses by the top men! Ok, thanks for the clarification, guess I should have looked at the rulebook, however just noticed the lack of wording on the card. Sam
