Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's not completely out-of-the-question, but it is a bit lower on the list.

A shotgun could work overall (being easily the closest-range of guns (which leaves me at a range impediment again, but the stopping power makes up for it this time.

I was considering using it as a secondary weapon, but looking at videos of the Karambit in action, the free hand is just as important, if not more so, than the knife because it allows you to manipulate the opponent's body for offense and defense. I may end up going with a longer-bladed Karambit with a transformation into a small handgun like a Kel-tec p 26 or something similar, but for now it's back to the drawing board.

The big problem is that the weapons I want clash with each other so much. I want Azure to have a firearm of some kind (preferably with more stopping power than the p 26), but every weapon that keeps the hands available (short-range enough that the user is within grabbing distance of the opponent) and also has enough substance for a gun of any kind.
