You can also mix and match pieces as either half of the gun-sword can drop separately.

This sounds like the perfect solution! No gunblade specialist could ask for more than mixing and matching any gun with any blade!

If you're not already, I'm making you an honorary Brit.

Hm I dont get it.
After reading medierra's post I was like "FUCKING YEEEEEESSSS"

Then Void wrote stuff about sarcasm...

no I'm confused.

edit: and now I get it. double-sadface...it would have been so cool

You could always include bladed pistols/rifles that buff physical damage dealt from buttstrokes.

What about a gun that fires swords?

:P

[Henk]

Or a gun with a slider on it that fires turtles wielding swords?

An artillery piece that fires half shells?

I'm a little confused as well....
Will there be bladed weapons, or not?
Was Medierra serious, or being sarcastic?

I personally think that some designs could work (see earlier pics).
You basically use them as a ranged weapon, but when enemies get in close they have a small amount of melee damage.
What isn't cool about that ?

There will be no blade guns, at least not from a functional standpoint. Basically medierra was being sarcastic and talking about the already existing functionality of weapon quick slots...putting a sword in one and a gun in another. Then using the 'magical' swap key to get the effect

Maybe they will add them in an artistic/stats way though (like what Asylum mentions) where they could have a blade on a rifle and it would increase physical dmg for skills like butt stroke/ect.
