@SYUTK I'd actually say Squall's gunblade is closer to Dove's gunblade. It's a sword with a gun barrel, right? Meanwhile, Myrtenaster has a revolving chamber of special magitek, and it doesn't so much shoot things as it does cover its blade with the powder so she can use it the powder's abilities.

Let's not forget that we can liken Raven's sword to Sephiroth's Masamune, although Raven's sword isn't nearly as long. It's still ridiculously long, though, but she's still able to use it. And Masamune dosen't telescope, so Raven's is actually even more usable as she can shorten the blade whenever she likes.
