I agree with you two. I've always loved the Gunblade ever since I first seen and heard of it. I imagine Squall's gunblade uses some form of retained magic(from drawing, as he literally draws magic into his blade.) Which he uses to then generate a temporary barrier after each bullet fires to block shrapnel from backfiring at him or simply directs the shrapnel towards the enemy.
Did you guys know there were actual real gunblades and gun knives to be exact. Here are some pics...

There's way more historical examples as well. Just google search them!

Yeah was just going to say, how is the gunblade the most stupid weapon to ever be created when they actually existed in RL ? This is also the same series where Wakka throws his sportsball at monsters and Quina's weapon is a fork.
I don't imagine that the real gunblades were the most viable weapons myself but if improvements were allowed to be made overtime they could have managed to make it work. Bayonetes are the only examples of gunblade-like weapons that are fully functional with awesome real world applications and potential. Heck the modern military forces still use them to this day. The issue with the other gunblade designs is that vibration from firing the gun would vibrate the blade and cause temporary heat at the same time which would lead to morphing the blade overtime nullifying it's use.
No I wasn't.

And ?
As the man said, if somebody attempted to make a quick escape they could shoot 'em. I wouldn't call that stupid if you are tactical.
That's like saying that swords are stupid because you can't limit break with them in reality. "Oh no you can't Tidus Overdrive in real life swords are dumb " ?
And you are being negatively biased towards FF8 because you said that Gunblades are the worst weapons in FF history when Wakka has a soccer ball basically as his weapon and Quina has a fork lol.
And a gunblade at its very worst is still a sword, so I'll take that over a spiked ball.
I'm not even gonna throw shade at Wakka. I embrace all FF weapons.
You're welcome to hold your wildly unpopular opinion. No sweat off my Lionheart.
