You mean they would just reject direct combat whatsoever and just shoot from afar? But, then what's the point in using a Gunscythe? If you're going to use it like that, then you should just use a sniper or some rifle instead. Abandoning the scythe part almost-entirely is the same as if it wasn't even there to begin with, which just makes it an unnecesary addition.

And in close combat Gunblade>Gunscythe because it has better speed, much easier to land attacks, and is less heavy.

Also anon, bear in mind "Gunscythe" doesn't necesarily mean "Sniper Rifle-Scythe". A gunscythe may well be a Shotgunscythe, or Assault-Riflescythe, or Grenade launcher-scythe. In which case it's effectiveness varies, along with the possibilities of winning against a Gunblade.
