What i mean is having a weapon that is a sword but can mechanicly change to a gun

i understand if it has to be Huge would be pretty cool for an ork or troll

Here is what i could look like





Maybe a handheld drone sort of thing could help making this feasable?

i can really just see a big cyberzombie blasting the door with the sword's cannon or minigun and just kick everyone's ass.

Honestly? Meh. You already get the same basic thing without all the work with this thing called a Bayonet. Or, y'know, putting an underbarrel weapon on a sword (yes, it specifically mentioned having a gun that fired along the line of the blade).

Spiderman got your back!)

But to me it appears quite silly. Just use Bayonet as Mirikon just said.

HOW DARE YOU TO POINT THE USEFULLNESS OF THAT DEVICE! ITS A GUN THAT TRANSFORM INTO A SWORD AND THIS IS SHADOWRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! XD (its a joke friend)

Jokes aside, it is unnecessary complex modification... However i did crafted a Knife Trowing Drone sooo... on Fith no rules yet, but you could translate them from Arsenal 4e.

Also come on guys! One monofilament chainsaw?! Where is your trolliness?! MONOFILAMENT CHAINSAW DOUBLE WIELD! Now thats what i am talking about full troll ahead!

Well, I did get the idea for an adept who used a special dual-bladed weapon (think the dual-lightsaber Darth Maul uses, but with vibroblade swords).

there isn't any.

The 2 closest items/mod are the easy breakdown and the Ventrox(sp) memory weapon.

Breakdown lets to breakdown a weapon to easily hide it quickly....

the memory weapon used nanotech to reform what was essentianly a tube into a halberd, a staff, a knife, or a sword.... but NOT a gun...

And given that nanotech has started to break down (IE basically removed from the game) your memory weapon is now just a pile of goo.....
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

If you don't like the idea of having a blade sticking out from under your gun all the time, you can always invest in flick bayonet from WAR!.

And since I'm already here...

What do you mean it started to break down? Am I missing something?

Basically, nanoware in general has started to go haywire. Nanoforges going on the fritz, things produced by nanobots turning out to have major structural flaws, and so on. And then you have the fact that apparently there is either a group of AIs or entropic resonance entities who are using nanoware as a 'bridge' to bodysnatch people.

That is part of the reason cyberware shot up in price, because they had been using nanobots to do all those little nerve connections, and now they have to do it the old way.

All right, that does it. Next SR book I'm getting - Storm Front.


Wait, does that means that the pre-existing SmartStaffs and Memory blades are now nothing more than scrap?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Simple answer: we don't know. Could be they're OK. Could be it is only a matter of time before whatever's going around comes to them.
