Build Custom No. 5 is the Matsuri (festival/ritual) Weapon — a Sengoku period-styled weapon set. It's pretty openly designed as an accessory set for the HG Sengoku Astray, though it is made to work with other Gunpla as well.

Looking at what's included — you get a nice hefty lineup of weapons: Kizuchi (wooden mallet), Kagizume (claw), matchlock rifle, Mizugumo, Shuzu (prayer beads), Naginata, Jutte, Ōko (spear), Kunai (dagger), axe, and club. The molded color is a murky, slightly dull gold, and slapping the silver gloss stickers onto the blade sections makes the straight build look pretty decent on its own.

Anyway, if you're a fan of the HG Sengoku Astray Gundam, this is a pretty solid weapon set. That said, the weapons don't really suit other kits all that well, so it's hard to give it a strong recommendation beyond that. :-)
