To be fair Squall's (and Seifer's) gunblades and Lightning's gunblades are rather different. Squall uses ammo to vibrate the blade for extra damage (thus why you need to hit the button at the right time.) while Lightning's actually turns into a gun to shoot things ala RWBY. Meanwhile FFXIV also works a bit differently though closer to Lightning than Squall as there is no transforming of the weapon, but the gun part is still a gun instead of making the melee attack stronger.
