These are the most common Gunblade models known. They are divided up into size of the gun. The payload and damage of the gunblades vary with type of gun used and bullets, as well as type of blade. (Note: Blade damages are the averages, the blade damage can be higher or lower depending on the quality or material of the blade)
These are the overall most common class of Gunblades due to their simplicity and size, plus its not all that hard to construct these compared to an SMG.

The blade must be specially made with special materials and tools or the blade must be a refined claw or spike taken from a beast with severly sharp spikes or claws.
