Linken.6345 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I admit I was wrong about it, but nice to see it was class mechanic and not really a new weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OP's post is talking about the Warrior's new elite spec. They really do have a gun...sword...blade? saber?...thing, that looks like a gigantic bayonet jammed onto the end of a relatively dinky pistol. It looks interesting, that's for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotDelirium.7984 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Pretty sure those abilities are the profession mechanic (warrior holosmith mode) and that "gun-blade" is just a sword skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, initially I thought it was a new weapon type but clearly they just got the pistol as off-hand and not a new weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I was going to say surely bayonets on rifles were the earliest example of gunswords (they date back to the early 17th century) but apparently pistol swords were developed around the same time, which I suppose makes sense; experimenting with combining different forms of guns and swords. Either way it's not something that originated in any video game, movie etc. (But for what it's worth I think the coolest example is Ezra Bridger's lightsaber.) I am curious about how the warrior spec will work, especially after finding out this is a profession mechanic and not just weapon skills you get with a pistol and a sword equipped. I've always found warrior fairly dull, so I'm hoping this will make it more interesting for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say, bladed guns, or swords with guns started being made almost as soon as guns got invented. They are old, and a gunblade is a perfectly fine name for them. -shrug- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the blade that has a gun-type mechanism with special cartridges that, instead of firing bullets, are used to enhance blade attacks. That's exactly what FF gunblade is (and the linked by you pistol sword is not). And yeah, it is exactly as dumb as it sounds, which is why it is not a historical weapon, but a purely fictional one.

Fueki.4753 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) It's not even a sabre, but an Oodachi, which is a fundamentally different bladed weapon, that gun parts are bolted onto. So technically, Gunblade is more fitting than Gunsaber. Edited September 16, 2021 by Fueki.4753 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whhhaaaaatt! So ur telling me that I have to run around in the fully imaginated fictional fantasy world slaying fictional beasts and Dragons using a weapon that's not realistic? Wtf anet.

Wtf anet. ...that was a comment about why this weapon is a game idea (from Final Fantasy series) and not something historical (as some people claimed). That it would be dumb in real world exactly because it requires fantasy elements to even work, and thus it can make sense only within a fantastic setting. It was not a comment about the setting itself. Still, in the end it is a Final Fantasy gunblade.
