to your post about Roman, I'm conceding that i used the wrong terminology, he does not he bashes, as for the rest of it, yeah he did use it like a sword, rather than slashing he bashed. bashing kills through blunt force trauma, whereas slashing kills through cutting. So what? He swung, jabbed, parried, deflected, etc. all in all, the only real usage of his cane that WOULD be specific to a cane rather than a sword is that he used the hook to swing his opponent around, and even then you can do the same with a swordcane.

As for the gun greatsword, its advantages would lie in its impact and range, with its weaknesses being its weight and lack of speed with consecutive hits, whereas the scythe's lie in high speed moderate impact consecutive hits in a linear fashion at long range. Which one would win between evenly skilled opponents who utilize these respective weapons? I believe it would depend on if the greatsword hits with its first strike, should it fail the scythe would win and should it hit the greatsword would win. Oh, and i didn't ignore it, i was typing out responses to your other objections. I delayed to respond to a point you made, whereas you just butcher mine to suit your responses as you see fit.

And for your point on the gunblader being able to move within range to strike the gunscyther down, the gunscyther can simultaneously launch high velocity consecutive strikes to cut them down as they move to maintain range, happy? No? well in any case the scythe has little to no defensive capabilities, as you've stated, which is why there is no reason for the scyther to even bother trying, they would strike first and use its momentum to launch consecutive, hard hitting strikes as to not leave any room for a counter attack, which is exactly how our currently singular gunscythe combatant has shown to operate.
