Those who play monster hunter might think of it as some of the weapons that like explode on contact or something like that.

Now in 13 its a transforming weapon that transforms into either a gun or a blade, but never does both.

In our current game its used more silimarlly to 8. So it should really just be a different kind of melee weapon.
Remember, FFXIV's Version of the GunBlade is an actual Sword with a Gun mounted against the non-bladed end, with plenty of ingame evidence that the Gunblade is used as both a Gun and a Sword without transformation, so I don't think reverting to FF8's Gunblade while all of Garlemald has FFXIV's Gunblade is going to make much sense
