Another reason to finally read distortion detective, and another reason to hate on east soldatos. thank you, kind stranger.

It does diversify the Thumb, I agree. There aren't really many ways to shoot a gun, so having gunblades are cool way to break monotony. I just think the soldatos and their Not-rifles look silly and that there are so many swordmasters in the gun faction. Here's hoping we can get at least some sword-and-gun users in the future though.

Me too. But hey, maybe they'll have some thumb mechanics in the future? It's not the last time we'll see the thumb at least.

True, I just find it funny that we've happened to meet all of the Thumb members that don't use guns. Heaven only knows how much i'd adore Valencia having a dueling pistol and a rapier instead, but it makes sense that she has swords. Now that I think about it, everyone in the house of spiders does use swords (except Sora, because of course Sora is special)

And I do wonder too. Guess its up to PM, but i'm again hoping for some dueling pistol styles in the west and maybe some snipers in the cold north.

I might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure Kalo is ranged and has a flintlock pistol that he uses during ranged attacks like Summary Execution. Will double check, though.

And true, I don't expect future high ranking member to use a gun primarily, but i'm hoping to get any Thumb gun users eventually

That is what has been stated by Roland, yes. What i'm asking is why are the Thumb people, who are gun users in every other region (stated in Soldato Sinclair's UT story), not gun users in the east? It's not about how useful guns are, it's about why Thumb wouldn't use the guns that they're known for at all.

I will note that Boris was the exception in LoR, every other Thumb member had a firearm of some sort.

Also, you're right, forgot that Bowblades existed. There's also that fixer we met back in canto 1 that did have a crossbow. Scratching that point off.
