Sword and Gun: Difference between revisions

** This trend continues in [[Assassin's Creed Revelations|Revelations]] with the Janissaries, who won't hesitate to pull out a pistol and shoot you (the trick to beating them is to pull out ''your'' pistol and shoot them).

* Rudy in the original version of ''[[Wild Arms 1]]'' uses a sword for his normal attacks and an [[Empathic Weapon|ARM]] for his specials. Picturing him in this fashion is almost irresistible.

** And if you don't have firearms enabled, pretty much the same effect can be had by equipping a throwing weapon of some sort.

* During the attract mode of ''[[Time Crisis]] 3'', Giorgio Zott can be seen holding a sword and an assault rifle.

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine]]'' allows you to equip a pistol and a melee weapon simultaneously--see the Tabletop Games example above--but it's also possible to switch between melee and ranged attacks so quickly that this effect can be achieved with, say, a power axe and a ''grenade launcher''.

* Many ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' games have the main character wield swords, knives, and guns. Specifically, the protagonists of the [[Shin Megami Tensei I|first]], [[Shin Megami Tensei II|second]], and [[Strange Journey|fourth]] games, [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army|Raidou]] [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon|Kuzunoha]], among others.

* Lightning Farron from ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' actually uses a gun as a part of her sword attack combo when her ATB gauge reaches level 4, in addition of showing her carry it in cutscenes once in a while.

* In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', Shepard gains the Omni-blade for melee attacks. Promotional artwork and cinematic trailers heavily featurd Shepard wielding both a gun and an Omni-blade, cutting down husks with both in rapid succession.
