This beauty is from the weapons national museum in Delhi. If you look closely you will notice it has two barrels.

Those babies look like they've seen some action, don't they? Yes, the Elgin cutlass was commissioned in 1838, and is said to have been the only combination weapon of its sort to have been so commissioned officially by the military, anywhere in the world. Only a hundred and fifty of them were made.

This swordstick was made even deadlier with the addition of a pinfire revolver. These were a French invention, but the weapon pictured was made in England

The broken blade of an old Napoleonic cavalry sabre has been grafted onto this pepperbox revolver. Its owner was probably a hunter rather than a soldier as swords of this length were used for clearing foliage and fending off wild beasts

Wow. I feel so much better about that reference now haha.

I'm also very much loving this thread now and I agree thats fairly similar to Seifer's weapon.

It's a long time since i've played FF, but i remember Squall Leonhart and his duel with Seifer. Coincidentally, i found this photo of a pistol bayonet remarkably similar to Seifer's weapon

Did you look up Squall's name or did you actually just know that, but either way I have to get one of those:)

The Belgian revolver i posted looks almost identical to Squall's gun. Here's another version with a longer blade:

I don't know if anyone else will know what I'm talking about or not but I just had the biggest epiphany about Final Fantasy ever.
