The gunblade isn't re-

eally that cool

First of all, they don't. The Gunblade is designed to vibrate, not shoot bullets, they are so hard to use only a few people wielded them in the FF8 universe.

-Liable.

Are you sure? My impression was that it was like a really short range pistol, so when you are slashing somebody you can let a bullet off into their chest.

I never understood why people complain about gunblades in a game where you can summon demon trains and absorb abilities from a TRex

Literally nothing unless it's vibrating at ultrasonic levels.

The FF8 Gunblade functions on the idea that the explosion from the cylinder causes to the weapon to vibrate. But the explosion alone would never be able to reach these levels as to reach a ultrasonic you need a consistent, continues influence of energy.

Easy example is to grab a flexible ruler and mimic a consistent influence of energy by shaking it back and force, then mimic a explosive source of energy by flicking it once.

The back, dude. Look for the barrels. It's most obvious on the spoon.

Spears definitely got shafted, I'll give you that, but fucking shit up in a wall of meat with a good halberd or bardiche is an incomparably heavenly feel. Besides, pretty much all AI was shit, but I'm sure they'll fix it in Bannerlord, right?

It doesn't literally fire a bullet into a blade- it's just the recoil that causes a vibration/shockwave to travel along the blade. It can be used to slash, but would more likely be used as a short-range thrusting weapon. Jam it in, fire to fuck up the wound then withdraw. The bullet would obviously do damage but you can't really aim it since it doesn't have a proper barrel.

So would someone wearing plate armor be basically immune to this?

If they got caught on the joint it'd probably be a bad day for plateboy

But honestly, once they're tangled or caught the goal would be to take em to the ground to poke em in their eyeholes

Even savages would know that

The engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever.

Anon that's a nerf gun, not a real weapon

>>387148213

This makes sense.

But isn't it impracticable as fuck? I mean you must be extrem slow in it.

>>387148660

>>387149874
You have a good point here.
