However, it'd be really hard to use recoil in that fashion, since the force would be for added piercing force, and to do that, you'd kinda have to point the guns at yourself or hold it in a really awkward fashion.

I'd be partial to a heavy machine gun that turns into a power-assist frame. Something like a light hybrid between Iron Man's suit and the load-lifter from the Aliens series. Doesn't need to be full enclosure. 1st Paragraqph... there was a comment about the Pistol sai? and I think that is what he meant by pistol sai... he got the Idea first... I didn't want to copy that Idea...

2nd Paragraph... trust me... my OC can handle the movements required to perform those tasks... the human body is much more versatile than even I could imagine... I mean just look at Dante or Death the Kid... besides haha I'm at fault at this one... I forgot to edit the photo and put the trigger on the thumb... that makes alot more sense doesn't it? ^^ This is a good idea but I feel if the blades were moved to the handles of the pistol and a second blade was added, either under the barrel bayonet or on the other side of the handle to which the main blades were moved. (see Image below)

I think that Josh's configuration would probably work best. Still, holstering it would be an issue. I would consider making the entire thing a pistol/katar/bracer combination with the same basic layout. The katar would form the hand guard and front blade for the pistol, while the elbow-length bracer would replace the tonfa back blade with armor and sharpened teeth similar to Batman's bracers, increasing protection while retaining offensive ability and acquiring the function of trapping weapons. The bracer could contract a bit, making it easier to store.
