    hmmm, not really. revolver seems to heavy to hold with one hand.

    No. They aren't. They are an akward, ridiculous design that could have been streamlined at any point in the design process, and the whole gun aspect could have been replace by a pistoning or rotary motor for the same overall effect, since it doesn't actually launch the bullets it holds.

    That said, had I to choose between them, I'd screw them both and take the gunblade that was shown in the Fan Made Neo-Rinoa model someone made. That, or the one from Wild Arms 3. It could at least fire real bullets.

    And let me just say that that is absolute bollocks. Looking 'cool' does not a good weapon make, much less a great one.
    I repeat, the design it horrible, and if you wish, I shall elaborate as to why.

    I'm sure not knowing my real name, or my address, or what I look like, or even what State I'm in made that one especially difficult.

    Okay, guys.

    I like Squall's gunblade as far as looks, although Seifer wields his a bit cooler.

    i have a gunblade and even though i think its an intimidating looking weapon thats all it is. the handle design is horrible. since its not straight with the blade swinging down or stabbing forward is akward. recovery from a missed swing is hard do to the handle and the weight. the sword weighs like 12 pounds where as a katana is like 3. i know 12 pounds doesnt sound like a lot but in a full force swing with one hand it feels like much more.

    I voted for both.

    Squall's Revolver looks too heavy and cumbersome, although I love the engraving on the blade and the pendant dangling from the handle. Seifer's Hyperion, on the other hand, looks lighter and easier to use, and the blade looks razor-sharp. The design is plain, though. Both seem equally powerful.

    So I guess Squall's wins for the design, while Seifer's wins for the usability, and they both score the same for power.

    A sword with a hilt shaped like a gun is dumb no matter how I look at it.

    As a fantasy weapon, a sword that also can be pointed at an opponent and actually used as a gun for ranged combat, or to throw your opponent off-guard would rock. I, for the life of me, can't figure out why they didn't do this--even if only as a limit break.

    That said, Squall's gunblade > Siefer's

    I voted for revolver . I think revolver is cooler than Hyperion .

    and i usually forget that seifer has a gunblade and in the dollet mission I always forget to put the trigger for seifer's gunblade

    If my humor broke down, yours did first. And if you disagree with my assesment that the FF8 Gunblade is one of the worst weapons designs in existence, I'd like to see some reasons why it's well designed for combat. Looking cool does not cut it in battle.

    seifers is cool but i still prefer squalls, dont no why though Id prefer to use the Revolver in a battle than the Hyperion

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    great! a revolver fan!
    and ill say this to a certain person who doesnt like gunblades....
    how are they badly designed? there heavy yes....but thats the point.
    weight=power. there perhaps are MORE practical weapons to use...but the gunblade is my favourite!

    Here.

    3 pictures of both Gunblades.

    I like them both.
    I like The Revolver handle and the Griever carving on it.
    But i like the black colored Hyperion Sword and the name.
