* ''Tyranny'', the ninth season of ''VideoGame/ConquerorsBlade'', has a sort of medieval ''Mad Max'' aesthetic, complete with weapons cobbled together from parts of other weapons. Examples include a poleaxe with a bunch of smaller hatchet heads pinned to a full-length haft; a nodachi whose blade is just a bunch of other blades welded together; and a shortsword which is basically a sawblade lashed to a crowbar.

** ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest3D'' inherits these - in fact, there are even odds any kind of pistol will have at least one blade attached somewhere - but so far there isn't a player class which can both shoot and slash or stab with the same weapon, whatever it looks like.

They appear to work by keeping the plasma better contained than a lightsaber blade (and inside partially solid matter), causing it to leak out briefly whenever one of the rods makes impact, to similar lethal and dismembering effect. As this means you're still holding them by the parts which kill you if they hit your hand a bit too hard, still a ludicrously impractical weapon. Fun, though.

* One of the weapons in the online RPG ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' is a Sawed-Off Gunblade, which looks like a flintlock pistol with two two-pronged blades attached on the bottom. The normal attack is slashing, while the rare special attack is a double-barrel shot. Both do fire damage.
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'':
** The hidden blade is upgraded to work not only as a hidden retractable blade for assassinations and general knifing people in a cool way, but also as a gun.
** There is also a syringe blade that injects poison on contact.
** At one point it's also upgraded with a poison dart launcher. Then ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' takes it one step further by adding the "hookblade", although it's a tool for faster climbing rather than killing people. Correct use of the hookblade in the right areas can ''significantly'' increase the speed at which you can climb.
** The Dead Kings DLC of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' has the Guillotine Gun, which is a grenade launcher combined with an axe.
** You can get a pair of gunswords in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'', if you complete all assassination tasks. They aren't any more deadly than any other pair of blades in the game, but they do provide for some unique finishing moves, such as stabbing a guy and then using a gun blast to quickly get him off the blade.
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'' presents an interesting one. A spear-tipped long-handled battleaxe, with a scythe on the opposite side. It probably wouldn't be very good, but RuleOfCool allows him to beat the unexpecting hell out of you if you aren't prepared.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' introduces the [[Film/ApocalypseNow Lt. Col. Kilgore]]. A pair of rocket launcher tonfas. And Sai-Fung. Called the [[FanNickname 'gun-chucks']] by fans.
* One of the many available weapons in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is a "saw cleaver": a blade with teeth on one side, and a clean edge on the other. This allows it to be folded in half at the hilt and used as a saw, or folded out and used as a cleaver. Other "Trick Weapons" also have the ability to change into different types of weapons. Ludwig's Holy Blade for example is a massive greatsword whose giant blade is actually a sheathe for a smaller longsword. And the Reiterpallasch is a literal gunblade, albeit more realistic, being a rapier with a pistol attached.
* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' apparently has one of these: a small mallet that also functions as a gun and a flamethrower (the last two seem to be located in the mallet's head). "Apparently" means it's not explicitly referred to in-game, but you can totally tell from the battle animations.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'':
** The GLA specializes in this, as their units are hopelessly outmatched by modern US or circa-1970s Chinese units:
*** The [[ActionBomb Bomb Truck]] can be loaded with high-explosives, with anthrax or, (unlike the Scud Launcher, which can switch between both with every missile launched) both at the same time, though the cost of outfitting each truck gets prohibitive.
*** Technicals, Toxin Tractors, Quad Cannons and Marauders can run over the wreckage of enemy vehicles and recycle the parts to improve their own armaments. Most dramatic for the Technicals, who go from machine gun to missile launcher and the Marauders, who eventually get a second main gun.
*** Scorpion tanks can be given a surprisingly high-damage rocket against vehicles, while their shells can contain anthrax to greatly increase their efficiency against infantry.
*** The Angry Mob is armed with scavenged pistols (which can be upgraded to [=AK47s=]), {{Molotov Cocktail}}s and ''rocks''. And yet, they are scarily good at tearing down buildings.
** The Chinese Overlord tank can equip a bunker for five soldiers, an Antiair and AntiInfantry gatling turret or a propaganda tower that slowly heals all troops around it in addition to its twin main guns. In the expansion, the Emperor comes with a turret pre-installed, leaving room for another upgrade.
** The US Humvee starts with a machine gun, but can be outfitted with a flying machine-gun-wielding Battle Drone (like all US ground vehicles), a missile launcher, and as loaded infantry fire out the windows, can fire missiles, grenades, sniper rounds...
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Some units have multiple types of guns mounted to deal with different targets, though only vehicles can use them simultaneously.
** Imperial Guard, SpaceMarine tanks (and their stolen ork equivalent) have a main gun and side-mounted heavy bolters/lascannons.
** Despite being an artillery piece and thus not belonging anywhere near the frontline, the Basilisk has a front-facing heavy bolter in addition to its gigantic Earthshaker cannon.
** The Tau Commander's XV-22 armor turns him into a JackOfAllStats, giving him a flamethrower against infantry that gets too close, missile launchers against structures and vehicles, and a railgun against everything, [[MoreDakka and while able to use all three at once,]] the equipment needs to be rebought if he's killed.
** Obliterators use heavy bolters against infantry, plasma guns against heavy infantry, and lascannons against vehicles and buildings, all from the same multi-barreled ArmCannon that was fused with their body.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' allows you to use [[DuctTapeForEverything the magic of duct tape]] to combine two different weapons into zombie-slaying perfection. Chuck's arsenal includes : Defiler (sledgehammer + fire axe), Knife Gloves (boxing gloves + knives), Boomstick (pitchfork + shotgun) and several more. ''VideoGame/DeadRising3'' follows this up by not only adding new combo weapons, but by allowing you to mix-and-match ''vehicles''.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace3'': [[PlasmaCannon Plasma gun]] not enough? Add a [[MoreDakka sub-machine gun]] to it at any [[ItemCrafting bench]]. In fact just about any two basic power supply elements can be added to one of two major frame types to create hundreds of different possible weapon combinations. Careful planning can result in some really deadly weapons.
* Yue Ying in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6: Empires'' uses a [[http://koei.com/dw6e/downloads/art-yy3.jpg weapon]] that combines a crossbow, knife, and gauntlet.
* The flash shooter ''VideoGame/{{Enigmata}}'' has a variant: There are three "basic" weapons, and seven "rare" weapons. After picking up a rare weapon, you have to pick up a specific common weapon to get a much stronger fusion weapon.
* While having many secondary weapons for most skills, Lance from ''{{VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy}}'' uses his gunblade for normal attacks and certain skills.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', gunblades are, as the name suggests, a combination of sword and gun. However, the gun part doesn't fire a projectile; instead, the firing mechanism sends a [[VibroWeapon shock of vibration along the blade, increasing cutting power of the weapon.]]
*** Soldiers of Esthar have a weapon that's half Pickaxe, half Shotgun.
** Gunblades reappear in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', this time transforming between a sword mode and a gun mode which ''does'' fire actual bullets.
** They also show up in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' and some of the Compilation games as weapons for the bad guys, and look totally ridiculous (shotgun katana, anyone?)
** They are also the main weapon of the Garlean Empire's forces in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' as well, here mainly being rifles with blades built along the barrel. In the expansion ''Shadowbringers'', players can also use gunblades as part of the Gunbreaker tank job. Gunbreaker gunblades function more akin to the weapons seen in ''VIII'': outside of a SwordBeam attack, Gunbreaker gunblades are strictly close-range weapons that do not fire bullets and instead [[VibroWeapon use aether cartridges to flash-heat the blade and increase its cutting power]].
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', we get the Lawbringer and his poleaxe: a pole weapon that combines the [[AnAxeToGrind blade of an axe]], the [[BladeOnAStick point of a spear]], and the [[DropTheHammer head of a hammer]] into one weapon.
* The signature weapon of the ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series is the Lancer, an assault rifle with a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw bayonet]].
* While older models in ''VideoGame/GodEater'' where either melee or ranged, new types have a {{BFG}} turn into a {{BFS}} with shield included.
* Gunblades exist in a completely different form in ''[[VideoGame/{{Gungrave}} Gungrave Overdose]]''. They're essentially two [[KatanasAreJustBetter red katana blades]], each of which is attached to a machine pistol. They're also owned by an undead swordsman.
* The ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' mod, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rocket Crowbar]].
* The Brutes of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' have a penchant for sticking all manner of sharp objects on their weapons, since their phenomenal strength lets them deal as much damage in melee -- if not more -- as a shot from one of their guns. From smallest to largest: the Mauler has a small crescent-shaped knife along the hand guard, the Spiker SMG has a pair of hatchet blades, and the eponymous Brute shot is a grenade launcher whose underside is a fusion axe/scythe nearly the length of the gun. Even their Gravity Hammers are bladed!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', there are six possible weapon combinations, one corresponding to each main weapon.
* The ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series:
** The gunlance, which is exactly what it sounds like. The weapon can be used to stab like a traditional lance, but can also fire explosive shells during an attack.
** ''Monster Hunter 3'' introduces the Switch Axe, [[SwissArmyWeapon an axe that can turn into a big sword]].
** ''Monster Hunter 4'' adds yet another with the Charge Blade. It's a sword and shield (the sheath is built into the shield) that can combine together into a large axe.
** Meanwhile, [[LongRangeFighter Gunners]] have access to Light and Heavy Bowguns, weapons that may look like AutomaticCrossbows at first glance, but the muzzle flashes and attachable HollywoodSilencer place them firmly in this category.
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': Kung Jin's bow can be used as a bo staff for close-quarters combat and has a dragon head decoration mounted on the top [[FireBreathingWeapon that breathes fire]].
* ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'': The map, Mob of the Dead contains the [[{{Portmanteau}} Blundergat]], combining the compactness, appearance, and spread of a blunderbuss, with multiple barrels, and the sheer power of a gatling gun. There are also only two of these available, and one must be gain via the EasterEgg, but only if one had a Blundergat in the first place.
* Whenever Nepgear from the ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' transforms into Purple Sister, her default LaserBlade turns into a gunblade.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' has Ryu's Kusari-gama, which in form is virtually identical to its [[TruthInTelevision real life counterpart]]. It consists of a small sickle, with a long chain connecting to a weight or spike attached at the hilt. Also, in a more literal interpretation of this trope, we have the Vigoorian Flail, a massive pair of sickles attached at each end by a chain, and wielded much like a set of nunchaku. When used to their fullest in combat, expect LudicrousGibs galore.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'':
** Margaret Moonlight has a pair of weapons called "Le Croissant du Ange" [sic], or The Crescent of Angels. One is pictured above. These are sniper rifles with stocks that are ''scythes''.
** Matt Helms has a fire axe/flamethrower. As a transforming weapon, Nathan Copeland has mechanical arms / ''boombox rocket launcher''. Creator/Suda51 was so disappointed that he had to take Nathan out of the first ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' that he was the first boss worked into the second.
* The Rangers in ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}'' use fairly conventional gunblades as their standard issue. However the title character's [[BizarreAlienBiology Energy Bon-Bon]] is stronger and so he never uses one.
* Every weapon in ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' has a drastically different second firing mode, which makes the seemingly modest five-weapon arsenal much more versatile (it's even possible to combine the primary and secondary firing modes with some weapons). To wit, in ''Painkiller'' you have a weedwhacker that fires laser beams, a machine gun that shoots rockets, a grenade launcher that shoots foot-long wooden poles, and [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation of course]], a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.
* As each weapon in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'' has a secondary fire mode, a few of them fit this trope, but probably the coolest is the Dragon, an assault rifle that just happens to have a proximity mine built in.
** The Super Dragon combines an assault rifle and a [[GrenadeSpam grenade launcher]].
** The RC-P120 gives the user the option of turning on a cloaking device, though this feature eats up ammo like crazy.
** The Phoenix has the option of turning regular pistol ammo into miniature rockets that explode on contact.
** ''Perfect Dark'''s most (in)famous weapon, the alien [=FarSight=] XR-20, combines a OneHitKill sniper rifle with a target-seeking X-ray scanner.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarZero'' introduces a hybrid weapon called a "Gunslash" to the series: when used normally, it functions like a sword, but when held in a defensive position, it can fire off spreading projectiles.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' also features Gunslashes, which can now switch between sword and pistol mode. The Gunslashes themselves can be either this or a MorphWeapon.
* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'': swordmace, though it's [[WeaponsKitchenSink not too different]] from any other mace.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has the [[EpicFlail Ivandis Flail,]] a silver sickle on a chain attached to a long rod. It IS unwieldy and is meant to be -- it was devised as a weapon against mind-reading [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyres]], and, unlike all other silver weapons, works PRECISELY BECAUSE neither side knows where exactly the sickle will end up, thus not letting the vampyre perfectly dodge the strike every single time. It also is a Mix-and-Match Weapon in a different, more straight sense. Silver sickles by themselves are used as a focus for casting a certain spell, one that causes select scenery objects to produce items. The rods themselves are used for a different spell, used to hold juvenile vampyres in place. The Ivandis Flail can do both.
* Motonari Mori of ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors 3'' has a similar crossbow/claws/gauntlet combo.
* Cervantes of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' fame is known for DualWielding two swords with a pistol built into the hilt of the smaller blade.
* In ''VideoGame/Strider2014'', [[BloodKnight Pei Pooh]] receives a set of hook swords (or some similar Chinese weapon, it seems) with built-in machine guns, which she uses for both slashing and shooting [[PlayingWithFire fireballs]].
* Vicious, a HeroAntagonist in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' GaidenGame ''Tales of Crestoria'', has ''pistol''-blades (which he {{Dual Wield|ing}}s, naturally), and his animations show him seamlessly switching between slashing attacks and projectile strikes.
* ''VideoGame/TigerRoad'' where you are a monk that starts off armed with the "axe" weapon. This weapon is a combination of [[AnAxeToGrind double-bladed battleaxe]] and [[EpicFlail a flail with a long chain]]. The resulting "axe" weapon has a very large attack circular attack radius in a 2D game, letting it cut down enemies coming at you in all directions, as such every other weapon you pick up is actually worse than your starting axe.
* Several playable characters from the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' use this type of weapon.
** While Randy Orlando from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki'' uses a stun halberd as equippable weapon, one of common choices in Crossbell Police Department, he actually has one weapon he doesn't want to use anymore because [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast it reminded him of]] his Jaeger days]] but had to during the "Ao" part of the duology; [[spoiler:A mixture of submachine gun and blade called Berserga]]. Said weapon can be seen in his 3rd S-Craft.
** Shirley[[spoiler: Orlando]], member of a jaeger group "Red Constellation"[[spoiler: and Randy's cousin]], has an even more extreme example. She has a mixture of chainsaw, rifle ''and'' flamethrower. All of the weapon's attributes can be seen in her S-Craft.
** Fie Claussel from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' uses a pair of pistol swords (or combination of dagger and gun/pistol, your pick). Her crafts arsenal include slashing skill, gun skill or combination of both. This is advantageus since she has higher chance to unbalance enemies from the weapon covering three of four available attack types; slash, thrust and pierce, each with B proficiency.
** Nacht Weiss from ''Akatsuki no Kiseki'' uses a standard [[BayonetYa bayonet]] as his weapon.
** Juna Crawford, a character in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel III]] uses a weapon called "Gunbreaker", a mixture of guns and tonfas. She can also change her combat style between "strike mode" (close range) and "gun mode" (long range with [=AoE=]).
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has a fondness for exotic weapons, so it's not surprising that quite a few of these pop up.
** The gunblade category of melee weapons features the Redeemer shotgun-sword and the Sarpa burst rifle-sword, which can fire off shots as charged attacks or as part of combos from the gunblade Stances.
** Spearguns are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin guns that can be thrown as spears]]. The Grineer-manufactured Javlok lobs fireballs when fired normally and explodes when thrown. The Corpus-designed Ferrox acts as a sniper rifle that can tether enemies when thrown. The Tenno-created Scourge behaves like a machine gun and emits a field that attracts gunfire to nearby enemies when thrown.
** The blade and whip category of melee weapons are not conventional {{Whip Sword}}s but rather are bladed weapons with auxiliary cords attached to the hilt, akin to a kusarigama. The Jat Kusar ups the ante by incorporating rocket boosters into the design.
** A couple regular whips also stand out in this regard. The Lecta and Secura Lecta are half taser, while the Atterax is tipped with a series of rotary sawblades.
[[caption-width-right:350:Puts the ''cut'' in uppercut.]]
* One of the weapons in the online RPG ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' is a Sawed-Off Gunblade, which looks like a flintlock pistol with two two-pronged blades attached on the bottom. The normal attack is slashing, while the rare special attack is a double-barrel shot. Both do fire damage.
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'':
** The hidden blade is upgraded to work not only as a hidden retractable blade for assassinations and general knifing people in a cool way, but also as a gun.
** There is also a syringe blade that injects poison on contact.
** At one point it's also upgraded with a poison dart launcher. Then ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' takes it one step further by adding the "hookblade", although it's a tool for faster climbing rather than killing people. Correct use of the hookblade in the right areas can ''significantly'' increase the speed at which you can climb.
** The Dead Kings DLC of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' has the Guillotine Gun, which is a grenade launcher combined with an axe.
** You can get a pair of gunswords in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'', if you complete all assassination tasks. They aren't any more deadly than any other pair of blades in the game, but they do provide for some unique finishing moves, such as stabbing a guy and then using a gun blast to quickly get him off the blade.
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'' presents an interesting one. A spear-tipped long-handled battleaxe, with a scythe on the opposite side. It probably wouldn't be very good, but RuleOfCool allows him to beat the unexpecting hell out of you if you aren't prepared.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' introduces the [[Film/ApocalypseNow Lt. Col. Kilgore]]. A pair of rocket launcher tonfas. And Sai-Fung. Called the [[FanNickname 'gun-chucks']] by fans.
* One of the many available weapons in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is a "saw cleaver": a blade with teeth on one side, and a clean edge on the other. This allows it to be folded in half at the hilt and used as a saw, or folded out and used as a cleaver. Other "Trick Weapons" also have the ability to change into different types of weapons. Ludwig's Holy Blade for example is a massive greatsword whose giant blade is actually a sheathe for a smaller longsword. And the Reiterpallasch is a literal gunblade, albeit more realistic, being a rapier with a pistol attached.
* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' apparently has one of these: a small mallet that also functions as a gun and a flamethrower (the last two seem to be located in the mallet's head). "Apparently" means it's not explicitly referred to in-game, but you can totally tell from the battle animations.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'':
** The GLA specializes in this, as their units are hopelessly outmatched by modern US or circa-1970s Chinese units:
*** The [[ActionBomb Bomb Truck]] can be loaded with high-explosives, with anthrax or, (unlike the Scud Launcher, which can switch between both with every missile launched) both at the same time, though the cost of outfitting each truck gets prohibitive.
*** Technicals, Toxin Tractors, Quad Cannons and Marauders can run over the wreckage of enemy vehicles and recycle the parts to improve their own armaments. Most dramatic for the Technicals, who go from machine gun to missile launcher and the Marauders, who eventually get a second main gun.
*** Scorpion tanks can be given a surprisingly high-damage rocket against vehicles, while their shells can contain anthrax to greatly increase their efficiency against infantry.
*** The Angry Mob is armed with scavenged pistols (which can be upgraded to [=AK47s=]), {{Molotov Cocktail}}s and ''rocks''. And yet, they are scarily good at tearing down buildings.
** The Chinese Overlord tank can equip a bunker for five soldiers, an Antiair and AntiInfantry gatling turret or a propaganda tower that slowly heals all troops around it in addition to its twin main guns. In the expansion, the Emperor comes with a turret pre-installed, leaving room for another upgrade.
** The US Humvee starts with a machine gun, but can be outfitted with a flying machine-gun-wielding Battle Drone (like all US ground vehicles), a missile launcher, and as loaded infantry fire out the windows, can fire missiles, grenades, sniper rounds...
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Some units have multiple types of guns mounted to deal with different targets, though only vehicles can use them simultaneously.
** Imperial Guard, SpaceMarine tanks (and their stolen ork equivalent) have a main gun and side-mounted heavy bolters/lascannons.
** Despite being an artillery piece and thus not belonging anywhere near the frontline, the Basilisk has a front-facing heavy bolter in addition to its gigantic Earthshaker cannon.
** The Tau Commander's XV-22 armor turns him into a JackOfAllStats, giving him a flamethrower against infantry that gets too close, missile launchers against structures and vehicles, and a railgun against everything, [[MoreDakka and while able to use all three at once,]] the equipment needs to be rebought if he's killed.
** Obliterators use heavy bolters against infantry, plasma guns against heavy infantry, and lascannons against vehicles and buildings, all from the same multi-barreled ArmCannon that was fused with their body.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' allows you to use [[DuctTapeForEverything the magic of duct tape]] to combine two different weapons into zombie-slaying perfection. Chuck's arsenal includes : Defiler (sledgehammer + fire axe), Knife Gloves (boxing gloves + knives), Boomstick (pitchfork + shotgun) and several more. ''VideoGame/DeadRising3'' follows this up by not only adding new combo weapons, but by allowing you to mix-and-match ''vehicles''.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace3'': [[PlasmaCannon Plasma gun]] not enough? Add a [[MoreDakka sub-machine gun]] to it at any [[ItemCrafting bench]]. In fact just about any two basic power supply elements can be added to one of two major frame types to create hundreds of different possible weapon combinations. Careful planning can result in some really deadly weapons.
* Yue Ying in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6: Empires'' uses a [[http://koei.com/dw6e/downloads/art-yy3.jpg weapon]] that combines a crossbow, knife, and gauntlet.
* The flash shooter ''VideoGame/{{Enigmata}}'' has a variant: There are three "basic" weapons, and seven "rare" weapons. After picking up a rare weapon, you have to pick up a specific common weapon to get a much stronger fusion weapon.
* While having many secondary weapons for most skills, Lance from ''{{VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy}}'' uses his gunblade for normal attacks and certain skills.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', gunblades are, as the name suggests, a combination of sword and gun. However, the gun part doesn't fire a projectile; instead, the firing mechanism sends a [[VibroWeapon shock of vibration along the blade, increasing cutting power of the weapon.]]
*** Soldiers of Esthar have a weapon that's half Pickaxe, half Shotgun.
** Gunblades reappear in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', this time transforming between a sword mode and a gun mode which ''does'' fire actual bullets.
** They also show up in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' and some of the Compilation games as weapons for the bad guys, and look totally ridiculous (shotgun katana, anyone?)
** They are also the main weapon of the Garlean Empire's forces in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' as well, here mainly being rifles with blades built along the barrel. In the expansion ''Shadowbringers'', players can also use gunblades as part of the Gunbreaker tank job. Gunbreaker gunblades function more akin to the weapons seen in ''VIII'': outside of a SwordBeam attack, Gunbreaker gunblades are strictly close-range weapons that do not fire bullets and instead [[VibroWeapon use aether cartridges to flash-heat the blade and increase its cutting power]].
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', we get the Lawbringer and his poleaxe: a pole weapon that combines the [[AnAxeToGrind blade of an axe]], the [[BladeOnAStick point of a spear]], and the [[DropTheHammer head of a hammer]] into one weapon.
* The signature weapon of the ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series is the Lancer, an assault rifle with a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw bayonet]].
* While older models in ''VideoGame/GodEater'' where either melee or ranged, new types have a {{BFG}} turn into a {{BFS}} with shield included.
* Gunblades exist in a completely different form in ''[[VideoGame/{{Gungrave}} Gungrave Overdose]]''. They're essentially two [[KatanasAreJustBetter red katana blades]], each of which is attached to a machine pistol. They're also owned by an undead swordsman.
* The ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' mod, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rocket Crowbar]].
* The Brutes of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' have a penchant for sticking all manner of sharp objects on their weapons, since their phenomenal strength lets them deal as much damage in melee -- if not more -- as a shot from one of their guns. From smallest to largest: the Mauler has a small crescent-shaped knife along the hand guard, the Spiker SMG has a pair of hatchet blades, and the eponymous Brute shot is a grenade launcher whose underside is a fusion axe/scythe nearly the length of the gun. Even their Gravity Hammers are bladed!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', there are six possible weapon combinations, one corresponding to each main weapon.
* The ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series:
** The gunlance, which is exactly what it sounds like. The weapon can be used to stab like a traditional lance, but can also fire explosive shells during an attack.
** ''Monster Hunter 3'' introduces the Switch Axe, [[SwissArmyWeapon an axe that can turn into a big sword]].
** ''Monster Hunter 4'' adds yet another with the Charge Blade. It's a sword and shield (the sheath is built into the shield) that can combine together into a large axe.
** Meanwhile, [[LongRangeFighter Gunners]] have access to Light and Heavy Bowguns, weapons that may look like AutomaticCrossbows at first glance, but the muzzle flashes and attachable HollywoodSilencer place them firmly in this category.
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': Kung Jin's bow can be used as a bo staff for close-quarters combat and has a dragon head decoration mounted on the top [[FireBreathingWeapon that breathes fire]].
* ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'': The map, Mob of the Dead contains the [[{{Portmanteau}} Blundergat]], combining the compactness, appearance, and spread of a blunderbuss, with multiple barrels, and the sheer power of a gatling gun. There are also only two of these available, and one must be gain via the EasterEgg, but only if one had a Blundergat in the first place.
* Whenever Nepgear from the ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' transforms into Purple Sister, her default LaserBlade turns into a gunblade.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' has Ryu's Kusari-gama, which in form is virtually identical to its [[TruthInTelevision real life counterpart]]. It consists of a small sickle, with a long chain connecting to a weight or spike attached at the hilt. Also, in a more literal interpretation of this trope, we have the Vigoorian Flail, a massive pair of sickles attached at each end by a chain, and wielded much like a set of nunchaku. When used to their fullest in combat, expect LudicrousGibs galore.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'':
** Margaret Moonlight has a pair of weapons called "Le Croissant du Ange" [sic], or The Crescent of Angels. One is pictured above. These are sniper rifles with stocks that are ''scythes''.
** Matt Helms has a fire axe/flamethrower. As a transforming weapon, Nathan Copeland has mechanical arms / ''boombox rocket launcher''. Creator/Suda51 was so disappointed that he had to take Nathan out of the first ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' that he was the first boss worked into the second.
* The Rangers in ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}'' use fairly conventional gunblades as their standard issue. However the title character's [[BizarreAlienBiology Energy Bon-Bon]] is stronger and so he never uses one.
* Every weapon in ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' has a drastically different second firing mode, which makes the seemingly modest five-weapon arsenal much more versatile (it's even possible to combine the primary and secondary firing modes with some weapons). To wit, in ''Painkiller'' you have a weedwhacker that fires laser beams, a machine gun that shoots rockets, a grenade launcher that shoots foot-long wooden poles, and [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation of course]], a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.
* As each weapon in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'' has a secondary fire mode, a few of them fit this trope, but probably the coolest is the Dragon, an assault rifle that just happens to have a proximity mine built in.
** The Super Dragon combines an assault rifle and a [[GrenadeSpam grenade launcher]].
** The RC-P120 gives the user the option of turning on a cloaking device, though this feature eats up ammo like crazy.
** The Phoenix has the option of turning regular pistol ammo into miniature rockets that explode on contact.
** ''Perfect Dark'''s most (in)famous weapon, the alien [=FarSight=] XR-20, combines a OneHitKill sniper rifle with a target-seeking X-ray scanner.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarZero'' introduces a hybrid weapon called a "Gunslash" to the series: when used normally, it functions like a sword, but when held in a defensive position, it can fire off spreading projectiles.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' also features Gunslashes, which can now switch between sword and pistol mode. The Gunslashes themselves can be either this or a MorphWeapon.
* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'': swordmace, though it's [[WeaponsKitchenSink not too different]] from any other mace.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has the [[EpicFlail Ivandis Flail,]] a silver sickle on a chain attached to a long rod. It IS unwieldy and is meant to be -- it was devised as a weapon against mind-reading [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyres]], and, unlike all other silver weapons, works PRECISELY BECAUSE neither side knows where exactly the sickle will end up, thus not letting the vampyre perfectly dodge the strike every single time. It also is a Mix-and-Match Weapon in a different, more straight sense. Silver sickles by themselves are used as a focus for casting a certain spell, one that causes select scenery objects to produce items. The rods themselves are used for a different spell, used to hold juvenile vampyres in place. The Ivandis Flail can do both.
* Motonari Mori of ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors 3'' has a similar crossbow/claws/gauntlet combo.
* Cervantes of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' fame is known for DualWielding two swords with a pistol built into the hilt of the smaller blade.
* In ''VideoGame/Strider2014'', [[BloodKnight Pei Pooh]] receives a set of hook swords (or some similar Chinese weapon, it seems) with built-in machine guns, which she uses for both slashing and shooting [[PlayingWithFire fireballs]].
* Vicious, a HeroAntagonist in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' GaidenGame ''Tales of Crestoria'', has ''pistol''-blades (which he {{Dual Wield|ing}}s, naturally), and his animations show him seamlessly switching between slashing attacks and projectile strikes.
* ''VideoGame/TigerRoad'' where you are a monk that starts off armed with the "axe" weapon.
