From Copperbell story mode, we also know that the equivalent to gunpowder in Eorzea is called "firesand." I seem to recall that being mentioned again in a leve or FATE somewhere.
I presume Garlean weapons operate using ceruleum, which being liquid suggests a number of different possible firing mechanisms. Since we know a little bit about how Reaper armor works (power comes from the core, which runs on ceruleum, to power the main magitek cannon; overloading the core can produce a bigger blast, but is likely to destroy the core), it may be that Garlean energy weapons are fairly restrictive in size, and that's why the gunblades have that revolver look instead of just being lightsabers or what have you.
Or maybe gunblades just look cool and we can't derive anything else from that.
Also, is that lalafell shooting with a side grip? Aaaaaugh.
