I know, it was a weak attempt at making a funny.
Also, her weapon changes between sword and gun, not being both at the same time, so yeah. I kinda like Yazoo's weapons in FF7: Advent Children which are a pair of handguns with attached blades on them, useful for both ranged and melee fighting.
I find Squall's gunblade to be the weaker form of the gunblades, because as you say, it doesn't actually shoot, it just gives the sword attacks some kind of strength boost. And though that's also cool, I'd rather have it like Devil May Cry 4, Nero's sword which has an accelerator handle, like on a motorcycle. Giving it a few wringes to boost up the sword's power.
With the Machinist and the progressive technology in Eorzea, all these things could become reality though... that is if Squeenix wants it.
