I was thinking about the slide design when I realized this: If you want it to be able to fire in either direction, the most practical thing to do is to give it two stationary guns point opposite directions. The problem with that ideas is that it is not cool, which is a very important component. So I present to you the following possibility to consider:

We go with the pivot idea and, I think you said the hinge would be in the middle, but if you didn't then I'm saying it now. When folded the gun and blade are on the same end pointing the same way and it's relatively short, then it unfolds into the longer spear and the blade and gun point opposite directions. You wouldn't be rapidly changing between the two but you could still use either of the two modes effectively.
