The tonfa pistols might have merit, but it would be better if it was held like a pistol and the blades extended from the back and bottom of the grip rather than the reciever.

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.
