Card Rulings:Data Weapon

ATK and DEF increasing effects doesn't stack: When sending Equip cards to the graveyard by this cards effect wich has the effect "Increase this monsters ATK by ...", instead of combinding the ATK gained by those equip cards, the equipped monster gains nothing more than the ATK increase wich is highest. In simpler terms, if one equip card gives you 1000 ATK and another 500, the equipped monster gets simply 1000 ATK more and nothing else (unless either one of those card has some additional effect that says otherwise.

Additional Effects: this card also grants any other effects stated on the cards that are used. For example lest say you use "Big Bang Shot" and "Fusion Sword - Murasame Blade". When using those two cards, the equipped monster gains the additional effects of both those cards, the piercing damage of "Big Bang Shot" as well as the immunity of Spell Card destruction from "Fusion Sword - Murasame Blade". But you also get the bad effects, such as the removal from play effect of "Big Bang Shot" and that you can only equip it to a Warrior-Type monster from "Fusion Sword - Murasame Blade".

These rulings may seems strange, but i'm sure someonewith enough skill can use this cards effect to his/her advantage.
