FFVIII Question - need answers quick

[The Jordan]

Does the gunblade fire bullets like a gun? Yes or no with explainations. I'll try to rep all good arguments.

 

[TheDood]

Yeah, if you actually played the game.. when you press L1 or R1 (I forget) he will shoot the enemy as he hits them

I'll clear this one up straight away. Quistis tells you "Press R1 to pull the trigger." That doesn't mean it shoots buullets. That means it fires a round and causes a critical hit. Firing the round is just like a explosion. It's not a buller fired.

 

[GIIIIIIIIIRLZ :D]

^The bullet could be the cause of the explosion...?

Explosions don't come out from nothing, you know.

Bullets don't explode. Shells explode. Bullets aren't shells.

lol, i dont think it uses bullets but the trigger does create some kind of explosion to cause the critical damage.

That's what I think. There's nothing in the game to suggest it can be used as a normal gun.

 

[Shadow Soldier]

Well, the only reference we know of the gunblade shooting bullets, is the opening scene with Seifer shooting.

I missed that bit. Didn't he just use a fire spell?

 

[Massive Attack]

That's a question not even Square can answer ...

 

[fueled_rage]

I didn't think it shot bullets. What I thought was that when you pulled the trigger, it caused the blade to vibrate and cause more damage. Or something to that effect.

 

[Sir Jecht]

I don't think it shoots bullets but merely firey like explosions caused by vibrations or something I would assume. I would also say that since it doesn't have barrel that it can't shoot bullets but it does have a shell ejector or what appears to be one anyways. This is FF of course and many things just can't be explained.

In the opening Seifer just uses fire and not the gunblade, he never shoots anything.

Square knows all. >: They have an enlistment with god.

Don't be a tool. If they say it shoots jelly babies then it would be true. It's their own fictional creation so what they say goes.

 

[Xidon]

It shoots fire spheres, not shells, not bullets. Thats the only thing that was shot out of the Gunblade in the whole game.
Fight Leon/Squall in KH1/2 and you'll see that he summons a fire sphere which takes a while to load.

Yo Ichi TK, if you have a quick geeze at the design of the Gunblade, you'll see that the blade starts upon where you load your gun, there is no barrell. So one would assume that the bullet under fire, would simply cause a slight combustion and vibration upon fire.

 

[The Jordan]

I'm glad people are seeing things sensibly. Most people just make the assumption that because it has 'gun' in it's name or because of the hilt that it shoots like a gun.

 

[Roxas9001]

The shot just makes the blade vibrate. nothing is acyually shot out cept for a huge beam pillar from Blasting Zone.

 

[Massive Attack]

I haven't played FFVIII in ages, I just figured it was magic or something XD

 

[Mr. Wilhelm]

Well, it has bullet.

This pic is official. If it has bullet, logically, it should be able to shoot. Wasn't Yazoo's (FF7AC) weapon a gunblade too?
