I spend alot of time on reddit and other forums so I have seen this question alot. This video explains the two types of Gunblade featured in FFXIV, and how Zenos Gunscythe works.
How Gunblades work in Final Fantasy XIV
Thank you so much for watching my video!
My channel is focused on player perspective content, gameplay, theory’s and importantly game lore for Final Fantasy XIV.
We are well on the way to the 2 year mark since I started seriously making content for this channel.
The videos I made are meant to bring a smile to a viewers face or provide them with even one piece of useful and informative information.
If even one people smiles or finds a video I uploaded informative, then I have succeeded in my goal!
I will continue to do so, for I have developed a love for these videos I create, and I will work hard to make them better for you, and the bring a smile to as many faces as I am able.
Thank you.

For some lore background, the gunblades which gunbreakers wield got their name from the original wielders, queen gunhyldir's guards, also known as gunhyldir's blades. It actually has nothing to do with guns. The job itself, Gunbreaker, does reference the fact that they were deployed to dismantle Garlean gun emplacements during Bozja's invasion.
I thought Squall's gunblade has a barrel, in that little divet at the front/top of the blade. ANd that he fires off an explosive round at the moment of impact when you press R2 or whatever correctly in battle, and during Renzokuken. I swear I've seen images that showed the barrel opening. Maybe I'm going crazy XD
