relyanCe Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 which is why I still think magical water swords are more ridiculous than a gunblade.also the buster sword because it's the size of a damned plane wing Except its awesomeness was enough for most's willing suspension of disbelief. Water swords and gunblades... not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh I love the idea of a sword the size of a damned plane wing, it's just ridiculous as balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 More ridiculous weapons in FFVII include: megaphones, headdresses, and tiny spheres of compressed Planet life-energy used to unlock the power of magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh I love the idea of a sword the size of a damned plane wing, it's just ridiculous as balls. This is true. I think the most ridiculous weapons I've ever seen are from Tales games. Seriously, A tome? a vase? a freakin straw that blows bubbles!? ... And yet I loves these games...

Hector Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 There is nothing unrealistic about a gunblade. Gun-swords even existed for a time in history. They were seen as a solution to early guns taking so long to reload, so a sword was built around the gun. Before they invented bayonets, muskets were often spun around and used as clubs when things got close. Early bayonets were simply knives jammed down the muzzle of the gun. The only thing odd things about the gunblade are the level of refinement of the gun itself (a revolver) and the fact that the gun was used only to supplement the swinging of the sword. But I'm sure we would have developed them if people were durable enough to justify what would normally be overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 no, we're not talking about gun-swords we're talking about a gunpowder charge that makes a sword vibrate which increases the cutting power of said sword I mean what the hell is that, seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FR Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I always thought it was the FLAMES from the sword that made it hurt more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarZander Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I always thought it was the FLAMES from the sword that made it hurt more. Actually, as someone explained earlier, the gunblade has a muzzle which is a bit impractical, but can be used if mastered. You see, if you slash and then in the middle of it fire the gun, it should technically hit the opponent. This is what the gunblade does, or should do at least. I thought it seemed obvious at first, but at the very least it's plausible. Here a some other examples of real gunblades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword Also, the gunblade is badass. I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 This is what the gunblade does, or should do at least. I thought it seemed obvious at first, but at the very least it's plausible. No, actually, it explains very clearly in the FFVIII Ultimania that the mechanism is meant to send powerful vibrations through the edge of the sword, increasing it's cutting power. which doesn't really make sense at all but that's besides the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Author Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 What if the explosion added an extra push to the sword? (Kinda like Ido's rocket hammer in Gunnm.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 What if the explosion added an extra push to the sword? then the force behind each swing would probably damage the edge of the blade and would render it useless in a small amount of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 then the force behind each swing would probably damage the edge of the blade and would render it useless in a small amount of time Yes, but the gunblade was crafted out of quality materials such as: 2 M-Stone Pieces, 2 Screws 1 Steel Pipe, 4 Screws 1 Mesmerize Blade, 8 Screws 1 Betrayal Sword, 1 Turtle Shell, 4 Screws 1 Dino Bone, 1 Red Fang, 12 Screws 1 Chef's Knife, 2 Star Fragments, 1 Turtle Shell, 8 Screws or finally 1 Adamantine, 4 Dragon Fang, 12 Pulse Ammos With such quality materials, it had to be strong...

relyanCe Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ummmm, Weren't we talking about this sword originally? Also, I betcha all those pockets/satchels on his suit will never ever be used for anything even though they could be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I always thought it was the FLAMES from the sword that made it hurt more. That'd be the Shishkebab Effect from Fallout 3 then. Still though, it'd be pretty neat if that were the case. Anyway, back onto cogwheel sword thing from FF13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Also, I betcha all those pockets/satchels on his suit will never ever be used for anything even though they could be now. And he looks like he's been crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
