All of the Garleans we've seen have some sort of gunblade so far, including Zenos (his sheath for the 3 swords very much looks like a gatling or cannon).

Also, that's not how gunblades were used in FF8 - you used it as a melee weapon, timed trigger-pulls did extra damage. Also, gunblades are a real thing in history.

I have a hard time not calling this a gunblade, though (taken at 2:04 of the trailer).
