Cane/Sword/Rifle? Doesn't seem too close to canon, really.

Though the way it's described there's a few things it could use.

The mindgames between Cane and Sword would likely only work one time as a method of catching someone off guard. Once they see it morph, they expect it.

The second being that going from Sword -> Cane in combat doesn't really phase opponents. Swords stab just like the preposed cane technique. Only decidedly sharper and much more hurty. Just things to consider is all.

But to answer your main point, no. Just cause it's a cane and a gun doesn't mean it's essentially a copy of Roman Torchwicks weapon.
