Two ideas I've had floating around are a macuahuitl/shotgun and dagger/incendiary pistol.

The first, I envision as a somewhat thick macuahuitl, with an over/under shotgun built into the baton, with the blades retractable so it can be aimed, and the haft reconfigurable into the stock. Since it's a macuahuitl, this eliminates the thickness problem, since a sword thick enough to house a gun is too thick to properly be a sword.

The second, I see as a set of paired weapons, which are daggers with a diamond cross section to the blade. Within is housed a stacked series of projectiles, which are essentially Dust powered dragon's breath rounds. With a flick of the wrist, the blade rotates slightly off-axis, yielding a pistol which fires said rounds. Additionally, somewhere, there is a venting system so that the blade can be wreathed in Dust-fueled fire. The precise nature of the rounds is still up for debate.
