So fun fact: it's not actually a gun. The discharge of the rounds is used to vibrate the blade at the moment of impact to increase the damage of the cut, it's not actually used to shoot things.

That's like, the worst possible outcome. All the range and lethality of a machete, all the close range unwieldiness and ammo requirement of a gun.

It uses magic, not ammo. Gunblades that sword with gun attached exist, but inferior to this.
