@ScoutWe’re still in the prologue. You are planning on reading the IC though right?

@The Angry Goat actually they did...they're called bayonets. =P

@The Angry Goat Oh you're completely right. The idea of a gun-sword is completely ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is the original purpose of final fantasy's gunblade- it wasn't supposed to cut and shoot, the vibrations from the gun going off was supposed to make the blade better at cutting, which is utterly absurd.

@vietmyke@The Angry Goat Spears are just blades on sticks. But yeah, the whole...vibration-cutter thing is SO WRONG.

Although there is a gunknife that actually exists IRL. For some unknown reason.

@The Angry Goat It does matter, and I see what you're getting at, but all spears are blades on sticks. or pointed sticks, before there were blades. They come from the same idea: take the sharp thing, and make it reach farther. This doesn't mean that there aren't other sticks with blades too, though. ^.^;;

Honestly, if you wanna see a gun combo that's interesting, I rather liked Ruby's scythe in RWBY. She can shoot thiungs, and she can use the force to push herself, or add power to a cut. Makes much more sense than "it cuts because it vibrates side-to-side".

@shylarahThat could work, although it sounds incredibly grim and I'm not sure how the population could stomach it. I did have this idea about the remains of poor dead people being used in the smelting process for building material, so that in a way, Magnagrad is "built on the backs of the dead", or something like that. Building material isn't composed entirely of dead folks of course, but it does contain traces of them (sort of like how the Hoover Dam has dead workers in its foundations). Maybe the Church preaches that it's a worthy service to give your body over to be used to "further the city's spread" or something.
