Agreed. For the longest time, I've had a fascination of having a sword or pair of swords somehow also function as a bow... Well yeah…logic really rained on my parade when I realized a bow made out out of unbendable metal equals a string that’s likely to cut your fingers while you try to draw…still there is a work around with enough springs and articulations, such as the ones used to fold Ruby’s blade, or a protective gauntlet worn on the draw hand.

Yes, I was actually trying to hybridize the two types of polearms... It’s not necessary the drill that bothered me…what bothered me MORE was the rocked launcer-esque part….since you didn’t mention ammo I’m assuming you made it able to fire an unmentionable amount of rounds…ala Nora. But the size necessary to make that work…and the extra pieces to make it a drill…and the EXTRA pieces so it they can fly towards Lancelot…then doubling that since you made it a 2 piece…and somehow Lancelot can wield one in each hand…and here I thought Arthur was the one wearing gravity infused gauntlets…and don’t get me started on how silly one would look trying to dual wield 2 oversized reverse clubs…

Take out the rocket launcher part and you are left with a double sided jousting lance that he can use as drills and throw as limited projectiles with home delivery service…that wouldn’t solve the dual wielding weapons that are specifically designed to be used for charging only but…if you change the blades shape too much than it wouldn’t function well as a drill...so…eh...

Alternatively, you can take out one of the sides and have it be JUST a jousting lance drill with a Nora styled rocket launcher and home delivery service, which sounds awesome, reminds me of one off my favorite designed weapons I’ve seen on the internet…exactly like the one I just mentioned but replace rocket launcher with a chain gun… dust…I forgot how awesome that looked.
