You'd still have the issue of ammunition and reloading, possibly moreso due to the complexity of the weapon. Yes, the reloading isn't quite as important considering some of the weapons we've seen, but it just seems a tad...underpowered. It has close-range might, and long-range. Point-blank it comes down to the fighter's reflexes and how much ammunition they have when facing a melee fighter, while mid-range is iffy as to whether or not a true middle-ranged firearm like a battle rifle or LMG would be better. Put that weapon against Crescent Rose - fire rate in the mid-range would possibly be equal or superior depending on the type of mechanism, but the scythe has the clear advantage in close-quarters once she shotgun needs reloading - twin feeds typically means harder reloading.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad idea. But in a world where it seems melee/range is commonplace, two ranged weapons combined seems a little lacking in areas.
