please don't tell me you people think a 100% functional, custom, hand forged, titanium alloy, probably laser sharpened, firearms functional, EXTREMELY dangerous weapon, both to people and the untrained user, could be gotten for cheap...even a nonfunctional replica would be VERY expensive, due to the gun portion and the lion etching.

don't get me wrong though, i'd pay regardless of the price. i'd even go through the paperwork to legally own a fully functional version. probly impossible though, due to the fact his gunblade most likely used rifle-sized caliber ammunition. there's also the TINY thing that nobody knows for FACT whether or not the gun fired actual ammunition or was merely an incendiary round a la flamethrower. if it was firing real rounds in the game, it'd be firing two rounds per trigger pull. if you don't believe me, think about it. there's grooves on both sides of the blade where the bullets SHOULD come out. no weapons engineer would make a radical design to only fire from ONE side of the blade if it indeed fired a projectile. what happens if the opponent was on the side of the blade the bullet didn't fire on? waste of a bullet if you pulled. the kickback from two large calibur bullets in a short muzzle would be killer as well, but not impossible. maybe that's why it was SeeD's hardest weapon :p

sketches don't mean much if the mechanics can't be settled, kids. unless you want a plastic 20 dollar gunblade. in which case i'd laugh at you ;x
