Thread: Lightning's weapon

  1. #1

    Default Lightning's weapon

    I've seen a lot of squabbling over whether or not Lightning's weapon qualifies as a "gunblade." Here's my stance on the "issue":

    1. Technically, it's not a gunblade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunblade#Gunblade

    2. It is kinda a gun and a blade... and we don't know what it's really called, so I won't insist on arguing with anyone who calls it a Gunblade.

    3. Still, it's technically not a gunblade. If it were up to me, I'd call it the "Switchblade". Dang, that's an awesome name.

    Except that the Velvet Nightmares aren't Gunblades because they function primarily as guns and not swords, wheras with Squall and Seifer's Gunblades it's the other way around.

    Go-go-gadget-gun!

    I think of it as a Swiss Army Knife. It's a knife, a screwdriver, a bottle opener, a can opener, a wire stripper, a corkscrew, scissors, a toothpick and a nail file, but it's still called a "knife". I guess it just depends on which mode she uses more. It might be a gun with build in blade, or a sword with a built in gun. Or maybe they have some special name for it in the FFXIII world (which is probably the case).

    Yeah, porbably. I think Switchblade is a pretty cool name. (Because Swissarmyblade just sounds stupid.)

    GUNSWORD! lol, couldn't resist. Really, it's not a gunblade, if anything it's a shotgunblade. That and it switches between gun and sword, it's never really gun and sword combined.

    The gun is more of an Uzi or something, not a shotgun.

    Have any picture of the weapon so we can see what really is that?

    No no no, it is neither a Gunblade nor a Bladegun, it is both a gun and a blade. Got it memorized?

    To clarify: Gunblade = Blade which resembles a gun, thus the gun- prefix.
    Bladegun = Gun which resembles a blade, similar to the "Velvet Nightmares" used by those three guys in Advent Children.

    So Lightning's weapon is really a sort of gunblade/bladegun combo.
