Quoting: Onisuzume
Read my post above...
I did skim through the linked article, and most of the weapons, while
cool in concept, are not especially practical. They could be more accurately described as expensive, custom-made status symbols/novelty items, than as effective, combat-tested weaponry.
To quote
Wikipedia:
Pistol swords were not widely used and became uncommon relatively quickly, due to their expense and because instead of getting two weapons in one, one got a heavy pistol and a heavy, off-balance sword, as shown by the poor performance of the Elgin pistol.
Of course, we
are following the
Rule of Cool, so I'm willing to ignore the impracticalities of the aforementioned weapons if we get to see them in-game. :-)
