Perhaps with the dial fitted around the grip underneath the magazine so that the user can quickly twist it to change Dust modes before putting their hand back on the charging and firing triggers? The magazine would have to be a series of independent, wedge-shaped cartridges that form a disc when fully assembled. It would probably be easier to do than to place the magazine in the ricasso, like I thought of doing as an alternative to the revolver mechanism. I meant a stick mag that is inserted through the side of the crossbar. The magazine itself will have internal divisions to divide the different types of Dust and the bullet-loading mechanism of the firearm function will shift to load different types of Dust.

Not very effective for a weapon, but in a life or death situation, anything is better than nothing. I was referring to the gun aspect, not the blade function.

Condom/Dildo.

Also, Claymore/Bazooka 1. I'm going to assume you're talking about a RPG-esque launcher that also serves as a spear and will critique it as such. It would be extremely dangerous to operate due to the simple fact that the tip of the spear just so happens to be a warhead that has the potential to destroy the weapon if it goes off. Even if there is a arming mechanism, usage of the point as a melee weapon could damage the warhead itself since it is not simply a piece of solid metal and thus dos not possess the same strength as actual melee weapons. This would result in rocket unreliability, which again, is not a good thing.

2. Similar to some of your previous ideas. See the old post regarding them.

3. Lacks close-/long-range balance. Also, bazookas are very obsolete and usually are operated in two-man teams.
