Gaius also had wrist-mounted magitek blasters that fired bluish aetheric bullets, although he was only really shown using them in 1.0 (specifically, his big introduction cutscene in Mor Dhona during the 1.0 Path of the Twelve quest 'Future's Perfect', where he actually shoots the player's Path Companion, and goes to shoot the player, only for the shot to be deflected at the last second by Yda. Only then did he actually draw his gunblade, using it along with his blasters which he used to try shooting the Archons but without success (Papalymo used some kind of weird vortex spell that simply sucked the bullets into his staff), resulting in Gaius cheating by calling in a cannon blast from a nearby Garlean airship to cover his getaway.

Either way, what's important is that gunblade was not Gaius's sole weapon, his main weapon was his magitek blasters attached to his gauntlets.

only for the shot to be deflected at the last second by Yda.

FUN FACT: This deflection actually varies based on the city-state you started in. It ends up either being Yda, Thancred or Y'shtola.

However it was always said that Gaius' gunblade Heirsbane was his 'signature' weapon. It occupies the same place in the lorebook as the Bastard or Bradamante, and has always been in roughly the same place on PR sites. That said, it's always been boring and mundane compared to the other two because--yeah--rank and file Garleans have gunblades. His tribuni had more "interesting" weapons!
