That would be an awesome weapon for a TTRPG like Fabula Ultima! Fits the Final Fantasy vibes so much!!

This is an extremely lethal winged spear
Source: I'm good with spears in Blade & Sorcery. This thing fucks
Not sure about the barrel of the firearm though or caliber, reloading seems very difficult
(As well as durability of the spearhead due to fragile mechanism)
Still though, one shot, don't miss!

One shot is better than no shot!

I mean as long as your spearhead stays intact! :)

Anyone else find þat spear blade to be irrationally pleasing? It's such a perfect profile, I want to get it as a tattoo.

Some rich dude paid a lot of money to have an engraved gunspear, with a fancy tactical cutout in the blade (a totally functional feature to make it more lethal by increasing blood flow, and not at all decorative, I assure you).

Art doesn't need to be functional :-P
