Obviously gun blade.
Gunblades are fire arms so no go there.
Should people be allowed to own and carry swords? - Page 4

At least not the ones in FF8. :O The "gun" part doesn't fire bullets, it just sends a shockwave through the blade when you strike so as to cause maximum damage and to make the enemy (hypothetically) explode into a bunch of red flesh. Either that or give them a severely fatal wound. | ||

Source: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gunblade In Final Fantasy VIII, all forms of gunblade consist of a sword blade with a gun action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shock wave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to increase damage. | ||

(since gun laws are strict in this scenario only to see the shop keeper and every customer in the store draws their sword.... awkward... the robber runs. | ||

The difference is the cartridge system amplifies the overall "magic" (we know Nanoha magic is really just high-tech mecha) for a period of time. A gunblade relies on the force created by the moment of the trigger to increase damage. I suppose you could say gunblades are like the prototype to the Cartridge System. sword umbrellas are just as dangerous as real swords! + Show Spoiler [Another anime spoiler] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJiDhKATEzk yes, I'm aware of how unlikely this is but still  | ||

Now what should the age requirement be for a sword license? Well, judging by my knowledge of RPGs, which seem to set the precedent for this sort of society... About 8. | ||

About 8. sounds about right, but does that mean they get to carry swords to school? Or rather what would be required to obtain a sword license? Other than paying for the required sword insurance | ||
