And I think if you wanted to, you can put a minigun or a machine gun into it. Maybe a SPIW or PDW? Extend the guard and the handle, and turn that into something akin to a revolver's chambers with a button on the side. Insert the dust, rotate the chambers, and press the button, and the dust goes through the patterns on the weapon to rest in each tine. that was how it was supposed to work, but I've scrapped it, as I've said.

and what stops me from turning swords into guns (in general, my shotgun-sword Flashpoint is the only exception) is the dimensions of the blade and handle. Polearms are easy, because the handle is longer than the business end, so you can either turn that into your barrel or make it fold a time or two and turn it into your stock. In my designs, the sword handle can only really become the gun's handle because I don't see how the blade could fold into a stock or handle without a helping of some good old suspension of disbelief. That also limits me to weapons without a stock (when I'm using swords), having the blade fold forward and somehow forming the weapon barrel. How would you propose the transformation into a machine gun would work? I'm honestly curious; this may help me in the future.
