Composite Sword vs Composite Gun

[The Arbiter]

Gun needs to be something a single person can wield. So like not a starship main cannon lol.

Two people of equal stats get to wield a composite fictional sword vs a composite fictional gun

[Cyke]

Where do the Gunblades fit?

[The Dog]

Is there a sword that can match the Saint of Killers guns? They basically kill anything they hit, including Satan and GOD.

Those guys are not really impressive. As Elric Stormbringer sword ended his universe and retconned into our reality.


Not to mention countless swords have automdefence abilities, and wave motion blade style sword beams.

Or that gun that the Punisher had that shot swords.

Overall, I think we are going to get more magical/mystical swords than guns, and that will push it to the sword side.

There is also the Colt from Supernatural.

Stormbringer's not really a sword though. It's a demon that looks like a sword. Or something like that.

I think anything that's in the shape of a sword counts.

Some noteworthy swords:

The Possible Sword (The Scar) makes every possible cut the wielder could have made, though this includes the wielder cutting himself if he is unskilled.

Vanth Dreadstar's sword granted him immortality, rapid healing, and superhuman strength. It was capable of blocking a wide variety of attacks and also absorbing energy from attacks, including multiple nuclear weapons.

Stormbringer (Elric series) drains the lifeforce of victims and converts that into strength and vitality for the wielder. This energy was overwhelming when the sword slew a god.

Nemesis (from the Alpha Flight comic) used a magical sword that was as thin as an atom, and could slice through anything.

Doomgiver (of the Twelve Swords books) turns any attacks against the wielder back on the attacker.

Coinspinner (12 Swords) makes the wielder lucky and opponents unlucky.

Shieldbreaker (12 Swords) protects the wielder from all incoming attacks except for unarmed attacks.

Farslayer (12 Swords) can kill any one opponent, regardless of distance, protection, or fortification. The wielder simply thinks about the intended target and the sword launches itself like a missile towards the target. It has slain even gods and demons.

Before it was a gun the previous Saint of Killers weapon was a sword...

Some noteworthy guns:

Lawgiver (Judge Dredd) can fire a wide range of ammo types, including armor piercing, incendiary, heat-seeking, signal flare, and even a ricochet bullet.

Junkjet (Fallout 4) can fire anything.

The Bobo Splitter (Shadowfist/Feng Shui) fires two bouncy balls connected by a monomolecular wire that can slice through anything.

I can't remember the name of the weapon, but there was a auto-firing gun in Coils (by Roger Zelazny and Fred Saberhagen) that automatically shot everything within range except the wielder.

Sword of Grayskull
Sword of Omens
Various versions of Excalibur

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Twilight.

Yknow, Surtur's sword.

[Pendaran]

The ultimate archetypal form of the Black Sword, i.e. the thing Stormbringer is an incarnation of, wasted the cosmic balance of the multiverse, soo..

Between that and the various powers the person up and blocks attacks swords, the sword using person should be fine here.

[The Chou Lives]

Swords then? Damn good reason in rpgs I stick to Fists, powers, or in this case, swords.
