Just a random concept that popped into my head:

Take a regular broad Two-handed sword (no crossguard), attach a D-shaped handle to the butt of the handle like a shovel so it is parallel to the blade edge. Then attach another D-shaped handle to where the handle and blade meet in a fashion that is perpendicular to the blade edge (visually refer to a chainsaw). Attach a machine gun to the blade (trigger is on the D-handle at the butt of the sword). You can hold it like a two-handed sword, or hold it like a chainsaw. The D-shaped handles can rotate 360 degrees (might be useful for the upper handle so it can be spun to make a make-shift shield. The bottom handle can hide a hidden blade/pistol.

Usage:

Can be used like a two-handed sword, lance, or hip fired machine gun. You may also be able to detach the hidden blade, and dual-wield with the other.
