The gunblade. Squall, just take a fucking GUN! They're easier to carry around and your enemies don't have to know to know you're packing.
Gunblade is actually something of a misnomer. It doesn't actually fire anything, just detonates an explosive charge to send the shockwave through the blade. It's why hitting the right button as you attack ups your damage. This does mean there's no reason for the handle to be gun shaped (especially as Squall uses it two-handedly) but damn does it look cool.
And how are Vincent's guns stupid? He kicked ass. Especially with Death Blow + Attack Again materia. And he can weild and twirl rifles one handed.
