Gunblades
There is one series of weapons that are the pride and joy of Outlander Inc.  These are the Gunblade series of weapons.  As the name indicates, this type of weapon is both a gun and a sword type weapon.  It is a very easy to learn type of weapon but difficult to master.  Being both elegant and deadly, the Gunblade is very deceptive.  Field combat data has proven it to be a useful versatile weapon that will be critical in it's mass production.  Currently, the availability is very scarce as cost of production is still quite high.  Hopefully, this will change in the near future.  In the model classification number, the "S" denotes a long barrel model that can be used for sniping.  Likewise, "P" denotes plasma round while "E" denotes e-clip.  Each standard gun weighs about 10 pounds.

Twin Lance Gunblades
These gunblades are different than the standard ones due to the fact that instead of one blade, the Twin Lance has two.  This serves two purposes.  First, it gives the blade several striking options and second, helps with the introduction of a new weapon system.  The dual blades act as focal points to help draw energy to fire particle beam blasts.  Also, the blades themselves are Di-Molecular which gives them the ability to be more versatile in combat whether it be mega damage creatures or S.D.C. objects.
