Please, make the Gunbreaker weapons bigger!

Which you don't have to consciously think about with a sword swing. Any swing at the target with enough force will be lethal without any need to account for timing or direction, unlike firearms. If you don't aim a firearm, the lethality is greatly diminished in comparison to an edged weapon.

Any swing
Even the ones in the opposite direction?
at the target
So directed at the target? which is the definition of aiming.
will be lethal without any need to account for timing or direction
If "direction" is a pre-requisite, how is it just as uneeded in the very next sentence?
Also, timing matters in both cases.

The argument isnt if timing and direction arent needed, but which ones requires greater amounts in this example.
But this example wasnt the original point either.
The original point was two fold.
(1) Why is "Aiming" being brought up? Is it because you assumed they are projectile/ranged based weapons?
(2) If you assumed gunblades are for shooting projectiles, you are incorrect, and therefor the argument of "they need to be small, for aiming a projectile" wasn't a counter to size arguments. And i you didnt think it was a ranged weapon, but knew it was a melee weapon, then "aiming" is just as needed as any other melee weapon (which the gunblade is a melee weapon)

I can only assume you're suggesting its not a melee weapon, because you're not understanding im only comparing melee weapons to melee weapons, and or clarifying they are not ranged weapons.

Swings Gunblade at target, pulls trigger at wrong time. Looks at party and sees a dead healer. I can see myself doing this.

Technically not how the weapon works. You enhance your weapon with the cartridge aether. You dont shoot bullets at anyone.

Yes, even if you swing a sword in the opposite direction, you'll still bisect the person in front of you. It doesn't matter up-down / down-up left-right / right-left when you make the cut. The arc of a sword is very generous when it comes to making contant. You'd have to go out of your way to thrust or make itty bitty swings to miss.
