Few things to realize about Gunblades: They are extremely unwieldy, as the extra weight at the hilt makes it clumsier, and harder to swing properly, as well as tremendously hard to shoot, let alone aim well. I personally would suggest starting with a different type of weapon, and waiting until you have a greater number of points in Sniper and Fighter before trying to use it, as at lower levels, you would probably take too much of a penalty from its amount of...Unwieldy nature. Though that is up to Brovo and his Co-GMs, I would think that the penalties would be rather annoying, to say the least.
