Keyblades ? Hooboy I could rant against Keyblades (maces) for ages.
Mechanically Speaking, A Garlean Style gunblade really isn't that different from a rifle with a Bayonet on it. The "Bayonet" just happens to go further and attaches across the entire gun barrel for stability. And as for "Weight" since they are arestocrat weapons only it's safe to say it's made of any of the many "Lighter and Stronger than Titanium" metals that Final Fantasy is known for. Then add the fact that they are trained how to handle them and I'm no longer seeing a valid argument.

Now, Squall's Revolver, Seifer's Hyperion, And The Guardian Corp's Blazefire Sabers (FF13) are all an entirely different argument.

(Also, if Keyblades were items I'd never glamour anything else)
