That's handy to know. So basically, the entire blade receives a 'jolt' when the explosive goes off... that's interesting. I see why timing would be so crucial. Thanks for taking the time and effort to obtain this info, SoS. Mind if I add it to the FFVIII FAQ at the top of this forum?
you can see the chamber on the blade and you can see a rectangular space just infront, maybe the bullet is fired, hits the end of the rectangle and explodes, giving extra power??
An exploding metal bullet would spray fragments everywhere, including into the hands of the person holding the weapon. Also, the explosive force would weaken the blade, probably causing it to shatter, eventually. I'd guess the bullets are basically high-powered blanks - no projectile, but a lot of energy (recoil, in other words) directed into the blade to give it an extra 'kick'.
hmm..good thought.
i dunno, i wonder if you could write to Square and ask them personally...??
Besides, the rectangle you are refering to wouldn't line up with the barrel, it lines up with the locking pin for the revolver cylinder.

You're welcome, D. And, yeah, feel free to add that to the FAQ. Just be sure to credit DarkAngel for that translation. She's done us all a great service.Originally Posted by Big D

why would they introduce a completely new concept like a vibrating sword without explaining it or even touching on it at all in the game?
Why would they introduce a completely new concept such as swords larger than the person weilding them and not mention it?
Why would they have a black mage attacking with magical dolls without mentioning it.
It was just an idea they came up with, and they told us it was a difficult weapon to master, and then nothing else was needed, as squall never needs to repair his gunblade.
i thougt that it was alined along the top of the sword as you see in the start up movie!!!

because pressing a button makes you think your attack is stronger.
or
when he strikes from top right to bottom left th bullet comes from the right side of the sword hits the enemy then it gets struck by the blade.
dunno wheyher to be 4 or against.
maybe the bullet makes a big bang n a flash. And the extra power comes from the shock of the bang.... or it could all be in the mind.....im being stupid now.......sorry guys...
The question has been answered. Can we please let this thread die now?!

exactly what ui was thinking
i thougt that it was alined along the top of the sword as you see in the start up movie!!!
I beleive that selected red area Is where the bullets come out if u havent noticed when u fight and the screen flashes when u attrack(if u have it on auto)(or if u have it set to press R1) thats when Ur gunablade is being shot and for all we know the creators of the game didnt really think if bnerds or just normal people would really argue this topic so they didnt put much detail into it.
I don't care what Square says. To me, the Revolver is just that, with a barrel running through. The Punishment and Twin Lance fire from between the blades. The Lion Heart however, I think perhaps does use the discussed energy rounds, the blade itself being energised. The Hyperion either works as does the revolver, or fires from one side as did the real weapons, which can be seen in the Royal Armouries of Leeds, England.
I think when there's a long thread like this, one has to consider the following-
1. Maybe the designers didn't consider it as deeply
2. visual representation fo barrels etc was merely overlooked in production
3. A wizard did it
I think ur both have the wrong idea
