Is it just me, or is there a piece of the mechanism for the katana that blocks the muzzle of the barrel when it's deployed in Katana form? (you can see it most obvious in the shot of the very first trailer captioned 'gambol transforms' - it's flicked forward, to allow the blade to slide forward before unfolding (looks like it caps the folded part of the blade, likely to protect the mechanism?)... Likely during transformation she can't fire it (which would be inadvisable anyway),

Oddity with the piece: in vol 2's search and destroy, the pic captioned 'taking care of some baby nevermore', the piece is flipped down to in front of the barrel, yet in other pictures the only time it's in that position is while the blade is shifting. In others, whether folded or katana form, that piece has returned to its default position - above what would be the forward ironsight. Also, it's changed v4 onward? a piece extends down infront of the barrel with a hole - likely a pseudo-barrel extension.... and presumably, that little piece (in front of the barrel) hinges as the rest of the block rotates forward to allow blade position change... but once fully forward, I presume there is a requisite hole to allow continued fire, just, not when its shifting position, and the 'up' position acts as a lock to the blades' shifting mechanism.
