And a gun on a lance isn't useless?

I know this is a joke thread but the "gun-halberd" has more basis in actual history than gunswords and just about anything else FF has used, or has been mentioned in the thread.

Gun baghnaks were also used in India.

Gunpipe - because there's nothing like a long draw of Longbottom leaf after shooting squirrels all day.

I agree with D.mog

Gun Moogle! You squeeze it to fire. >u<

Gunception

It's a gun inside of a gun inside of a gun.

67 posts and no one suggests Gunaxe, I hate you all...
MRD gets no respect.

I mean it makes perfect sense, reloading a musket has the same delay as MRD auto attack.

Ya, it's funny that people are all, "gun-halberd pshaw" when that's the instrument of war that is more closely related to the Bayonet which wasn't even from that long ago. Instead people are actually wanting gun-blades...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayonet

Another time this sort of "gun-<insert item here>" happened was when a Japanese player actually took pictures of Legatus Darnus after the imperial attack in horizon.

The pictures can be found from a link in the OP.

Wow... if his gun halberd resembled a old ass bayonet in any way I will be disappointing. Any gun with a blade on it, including the gun-blade, can be called a bayonet, but that's just not cool.

We all know what a halberd looks like, hopefully. Now, cool it up a bit and add a gun near the blade with the trigger at the wielding point.

Also,

Looks as if Nael van Darnus is attempting to use the same tactics as his compatriot.

A a possible foreshadowing present in the description of Gaius van Belsar's weapon:

Perhaps they could be at odds with one another seeing as how Nael van Darnus...

Some of the French and German bayonets had extensively long blades at the end. Modern U.S. bayonets have a combat knife attached to the end.

Darnus and Baelsar's weapons are more "weapon" than "gun" if that's what you're worried about. You can view Baelsar's weapon in the R46 cutscene and Darnus' can be seen in the OP of the link I provided above, but I'll provide the direct link here to the player's lodestone blog.

I actually wasn't referring to bayonnet I was referring to actual examples in both European warfare of halberd type weapons and pikes which were also muzzle loaded muskets, or the use of some similar weapons in Japanese warfare during the Sengoku Jidai. Actual gunblade type weapons in history.

They were never widely used, they were impractical, but then again the majority of weapons included in XIV (or any game) were never widely used by any army. Impractical however does not mean useless.

The gun baghnakhs I mentioned earlier for example were used in close range combat to pierce a hole in heavy armor before the shot back when gunpowder weapons were fairly weak. Either that or simply having a melee weapon to use once your single shot had been used made these weapons useful for the time, it's just that equipping a large army with them would be incredibly expensive so it never happened.

By the time they could be produced in mass quantity enough that large armies could equip gunpowder weapons those guns were powerful/reliable enough, and could be reloaded quick enough that it was no longer necessary to really carry a primarily melee weapon (though of course the bayonet/knife were/are still used).
