Any Final Fantasy VIII fan should recognize this....
----------------

EDIT: Thanks ALOT for comments and favs everyone! I've scaled the picture down a bit for better viewing, however hit the [DOWNLOAD] button to grab the full resolution (1800x1125) image! :)

Im back with more of the gunblade! I just cant stop... loving this weapon >w<;
This is a piece I have wanted to do for a LONG time, but didnt know how untill this awesome sunday xD.
You will belive me when I redirect you to the very first gunblade I did in the links below.

Anyways. Before anyone go rampage and start questioning and accusing me for why submitted an official artwork from the game, Im going to say this once now: Its not the same image :) This is my version/copy/ripoff/tribute to the game and any fans of the game such as myself ^^
Look here if you are still not convinced: [link]
See the difference now, yes? :p
So I hope you like it :)

Alright this is awesome...one question though:

How does it's gun-part work, I mean how does it fire?

Thanks! The concept of the gunblade is its treated as a sword in combat. But has the mechanic of dealing extra damage by using bullets to send off an explosion when triggered as you strike. There is no projectile.

How does the gun part work? The bullet would hit the blade and jam. :stinkeye:

"In Final Fantasy VIII, all forms of gunblade consist of a sword blade with a gun action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shock wave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to increase damage."
