You're the one in controll of how much Squall uses the 'gun' part of the blade. You have to use R1 (I think) at a certain time to get him to fire it at the enemy. He doesnt use it in the FMVs because he's fighting a human at the time, and doesnt want to kill him.
If you look closely at the opening FMV, Seifer fires his gunblade just when he's about to slash Squall. If he fired just an instant later, he'd have blown Squall's brains out completely.
And if he would've done that, Big D, FFVIII would have been a much better game.
Wow, it seems someone likes FF8 even less than I do! Respect!

Big D I think that in the opening FMV Seifer used his Limit Break. If you try it out in the Dollet mission you'll see that fe first casts some sort of fire-spell and then attacks with the gunblade.
That's just my opinion though, I could be wrong...
Whoops sorry, I just realised what you meant and you're probably right.

In the opeining FMV, there are Limit Breaks flying everywhere. Squall uses a furious Renzokuken to overwhelm Seifer's defence; Seifer counters with a Fire Cross fireball, and Squall finally strikes back with Rough Divide.
er.. If you watch carefully, just as Squall is about to strike the enemy, you press R1 and the Gun blade shoots. It's the same thing for all the Characters to get a boost in attacks. It's tricky though! ;p
Too big.
The bullet launches out of the top of the blade. So basiclly the blade slices the carcus of the enemy then a bullet is fired into the gaping wound, sounds pretty deadly.
I did some thinking on it and I figured that the gunblade requires you to have some good upper body strenghth to use, and a heavy blade would help to, if you have a too light blade and really powerful bullet shot you better brace yourself or esle the blade could swing back and cut your head off.
Actually there's a lot of debate on that.
I remember someone suggested that maybe recoil is the point of the gunblade, firing the sword down faster.
It all cam about because Squall's apparently doesnt have anywhere for bullets to leave.
I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.
You ever noticed that Squall never runs out of bullets? I mean when I played this for the first time and I got normal ammo i thought it was ment for the gunblade.
It only works when you attack with Squall and Seifer. The trigger only does anything for Irvine during his limit, and does nothing for everyone else.Originally posted by eternalshiva

Unless maybe it's a bug in the US version?Certainly doesn't work in the PAL version
In the US version if you press R1 just as Squall strikes the enemy it does more damage and you hear a gunshot sound as well. And in the Renzokuken limitbreak you hit R1 whenever the meter on the bottom says 'trigger' or you can just be lazy and set the limit break onto gunblade auto.
Yeah, that was what I was referring to, and happens in the PAL version - it works for both Squall and Seifer, since those two are the ones with gunblades. But not the other characters
Where exactly does the bullet come out from?
