What's up? This is one of the monsters I made up myself during my 3 years of being obsessed with playing the Monster Hunter games. If you've been to my profile [1] in the MH wiki, you probably know that I've created my own private monster hunter games to pass some of my time. You'll also see some of my other concepts there.

In my fan made Monster Hunter 4G game, I thought of a new weapon - the Gunsword. This weapon is capable of delivering fast and fluid attacks like the Longsword, in the midst of powerful explosions like the Gunlance.

Gunswords can also use coatings to enhance their slashing attacks, like for example, using the sleep coating to put monsters in a deep slumber after some hits, or an element coating to exploit the monster's weakness. Gunswords have a special mechanic inside the blade to produce the explosions, which of course, benefits hunters for not having to use shells or bullets to reload the Gunsword. How strong the explosions are, is measured using the "Explosion Strength", shortened to ExpldStr, which can be in different levels. (Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) However, this mechanic can be worn out and it produces less and less explosion strength until no explosions are produced at all. To notify hunters about his, a message pops up saying "Explosion strength has decreased" to keep this mechanic fueled, hunters have to use an item called the "Magma Fuel" which they will pour on the mechanic and press a button to test it for an explosion. A message then pops up saying "Explosion Strength has increased" or "Explosion Strength is at maximum".

Gunswords have a variety of combos that can be used. It can also use a charged attack that when released, causes a giant explosion, in which the hunter slashes in a wide arc. Explosions can also come in different types.


 * The Barrage type - explosions occur after the certain slashes. Every slash causes explosions to follow the slash arc.
 * The Spark type - explosions cause extra damage equal to half of the weapon's attack damage, plus the affinity of the weapon. Of course, if the affinity is negative, the explosion's extra damage would be less.
 * The Spread type - explosions will spread towards different parts of the monster's body (random of course) after the initial explosion
 * The Ascend type - subsequent explosions (not after about 5 seconds) rise in strength, until a huge explosion is made the size of the charged explosion.
