Baja, can you reword your post slightly? I'm having troubles working it out in my head.

I get that you want a lance...but it's near impossible for the combination you want. For him to drop the lance and use the gun form of the shield, he'll be stuck in place simply because the tip of the lance will dig into the ground because of the shear length of it. A foot lance is 16ft long, and a horse lance is 10ft long. Anything shorter than 10ft is basically a really badly weighted spear, which would make it ineffectual in combat.

For the combo you want, that of a shield/machine gun and a static dust channelling melee weapon, the weapon should not be longer than half the length of his legs. That way, when he drops it and it hangs via strap while he uses the machine gun it's not going to interfere with his legwork or movement. A longsword is the longest melee weapon you should give him.

Why does the shield have thrusters? How are thrusters going to be effective in any way? And where are these thrusters going to be when it's in machine gun form? It sounds illogical.

Now, it's the last sentence I have problems with - what do you mean by losing his weight?
