What were they thinking?

The propellant is actually solid magic that upon firing will release it along the blade into the target. That's the only way that makes sense at least.

>let's make some crazy weapon
>how about a sword that's like a gun, and you shoot it when you swing it
>fucking rad let's put it in
Why even try to justify it? They're video games and those crazy japs are always willing to try new shit. You might as well hate on the gunlance.

Cool a copy paste thread

>laguna hasn't used a gunblade since basic training
>galbadian soldiers 20 years later don't know what a gunblade is
apparently even the galbadian military realized they're inefficient

>Literally a fucking chainsaw attached to a rifle with the only functional oddity being the chain intruding on the magazines; common sense not withstanding
>versus the mental gymnastics of a sword attached to a large revolver receiver and pistol grip so it can use the percussive vibrations from firing blanks to turn it into an osculating blade

Sorry mate I'm not a /k/ommando, but the main point is that the wiggly movement caused by the shooty movement makes the injury worse than normal slashes

Are you too much of a brainlet to know what kinetic energy is?

It's the logic you have a problem with? In that case how the fucking hell do you parse the concept of a chainsaw having infinite fuel but the gun having limited ammo?

That shit was so cool to me when I first played FF8

I honestly don't hate it as much as everyone else seems to. And I am a person who fucking hated FF8.

its a cool and iconic weapon, if you hate it cause muh realism then cope

It's an electric chainsaw whose battery is charged via nanoscale piezoelectric charge generation via the vibration when firing the gun

who are you quoiting?

The only problem is the pseudo-attempt at explaining it with logic, the infamous "the bullet makes it vibrate" explanation. Everything would be fine if the game just said it was a magical weapon and that it temporarily gets an energy blade for a split second when firing magical bullets. Squall's final weapon is a laser sword anyway.

For fuck's sake, I was a kid when first time played this shit, but even then I realized how SHIT this design was.
Really, a fucking gun attached to a sword?
What were they thinking?

Where do the bullets/blanks even go when you fire them?

>it looks cool
it looks fucking stupid though i'd think it was designed as an actual joke or gag weapon if i didn't know better

Thats not a laser sword. Thats crystal.

>Laser sword
>has obvious physical engravings

Brainlet

in the sword itself.

they were thinking
'this is based'
and it is

So I think I understand that the engine heats the blade and the exhaust propels it, but what is the handbrake for?

The logical explanation is that Squall is such a wannabe/rebel/hipster that he opened a weapon catalog and picked the most unpopular weapon, a model so outdated it hasn't be in use for 20 years, and he decided he would use nothing but that. And then Seifer saw it and got jealous that he wasn't the top edgelord anymore so he got one too and that's why they fight.

to brake it

They had kino on the mind

they were thinking people would think it looks cool

That explains why they use the same cum dumpster.

I'm aware it's a solid block like crystal. The blue line that originates from the handle clearly has the purpose of implying it's an energy-based weapon. Not made of pure energy, but with an energy component for reinforcement or sharpening or both. The more Squall evolves his weapon the more his special attacks become a giant laser blade. Hence I disagree about trying to explain the gunblade's inefficient design with logic when logic is thrown out the window very quickly anyway.

they clearly use each other as cumdumpsters tho

limit breaks really don't have anything to do with it and it doesn't matter anyway since lionheart is pretty standard

It's nothing more then a hitachi wand that got converted into a blade also each bullet is just a battery for the wand to operate

Can someone post the dude that turns into a revolver?

sorry I only got the horse that turns into a revolver

To brake it when it flungs Nero around

>people still use this meme
I don't even care if it's a "vibro-blade" just who cares like whatever...

Where does the bullet goes when it's fired?

After twenty fucking years at last I truly see

>a catalog of inefficient weapons
heh

Probably just a handguard

This shit would just fuck up your trigger finger everytime you sliced someone

>is a magic wand/baseball bat that also works like a sword

Nowhere, it's a blank

what the fuck were they fucking thinking? I also remember when their was supposed to be special but now every autist is running around with one, and that we before the disappointment that three was.
