    Because gunblades as a whole are rather unreasonable weapons to begin with.

    Huh? All weapons need to be aimed at an opponent, or do you think the gun shoots projectiles still?

    No he didnt, even yoshida said as much. Gaius's weapon shoots bullets, and is a gun 1st, sword second.
    GNB is sword 1st, not gun at all. There is no 2nd.

    on a side note, PLD swords tend to be bigger most of the time, but it took awhile to get there, so gunbreaker might just need to wait a bit, before the crazy weapon sizes show up. (maybe, PLD still gets some tiny short swords every so often (which is fine) so who knows)

    Thats how I felt. Sometimes cant tell if im looking at a GNB weapon or MCH weapon, and the ones you can tell, have the larger blade to handle ratio.

    And yet they seem to be shorter than most PLD swords lol. (I hate how so many of them, the RDM holds them at the bottom of the handle, rather than closer to the guard. Its weird as heck)

    I haven't been able to find any images of it on a pc online yet, but the Dwarven Mythril Manatrigger is actually pretty dang huge compared to all the other gun blades. Looks a bit more like an ax since the blade looks to be just at the tip, but it looks pretty dang substantial.

    No you don't. You can kill someone with a sword by swinging without aiming. Sufficient force would make it lethal without the need aim the strike.

    *Insert obligatory 'its not the size of your gun that matters, but how you use it'*

    Beyond that, Im sure there will be bigger weapon models. Keep in mind it cant be so large that wielding it one handed all the time would look semi rediculous. Nor can it be so big it can be mistaken for a DRK weapon. If I had to hazard, its medium sized.

    That and since I like swinging big things around, I tend to just be DRK, LIKE REAL TANKS!

    (1) The weapon in question is a sword
    (2) which direction do you swing? not just direction, but timing is part of a different type of "direction" in this regard (in a 3d space, rather than 2d plane) this is all part of aiming. There's more than one way in which you "aim" which is why i followed up with "or did u think it still shoots projectiles?"

    Because it got 3 upvotes, relative to 275 finding your comment irrelevant or spurious at best on the first page alone?

    Where do you get that 275 from? The number of views the thread had at that point? A huge majority of the people doesn't interact at all but just read. Other come back, looking for new posts since their last visit and also increase that tnumber. So there's not too much logic within your statement. Just because you yourself don't agree doesn't make it irrelevant and you don't need to speak up for others.


    I agree with op, they should be bigger and also I'd much prefer them as two-handed weapons.
