I'd like to say, I may have found a solution to the Gunblade problem using the FFVIII design.

KEep the entire core assembly the same; three changes need to be made.

1: replace the bullets with Dust shells 2: add 3-mode fire selector 3: add a channel-like barrel system that pipes the blast from the Dust out through tunnels milled into a set of mirrored plates bolted onto the sides of the blade. Those channels go two ways: to the edge of the blade for direct elemental strikes a la Weiss. OR, they go to the flat and act as a propulsion system for more powerful strikes.

The third slot on the fire mode selector is safe, btw.
