This is the weapon for my WIP OC...what are your thoughts is it too OP? (Tried to balence it as much as possible) (sorry it's a bit lengthy)

Weapon Name: Tsuki and Taiyo (Moon and Sun in Japanese)

Weapon Class: Dual Katana Gun-Blade

Style of Sword: Straight Tanto style Long-Katana

Gun Type: 6 shot Long barreled Revolver

Description: Tsuki and Taiyo are 2 specialized Revolver Katanas, which both have 2 modes. The blade edge on Tsuki is black while the back edge is white. The blade edge and back edge on Taiyo is reversed with the blade edge being white and the back edge is black.

Sword mode: Tsuki and Taiyo are dual Tanto katanas that are 30 inches long each (their is no curve to the blade like regular katanas would have), their blade edges are cut in the style of a Tanto blade, the handle of the swords have a white and black (respectively) revolver style chamber that has a black and white decorative etching on the revolver (again, respectively), where the guard would be and the barrel of the gun extends on the back of the blade, the handle of the swords are slightly slanted to fit the hand and keep the weapon comfortable for firing when it is in its gun mode.

Gun Mode: The guns are 10 inch long break action Revolver that uses regular an Dust tipped ammunition. the handle houses the firing mechanism of the gun and has a trigger guard to make sure the weapon doesn't accidentally fire, attached to the trigger guard is a longer version of a ring guard formed to fit the rest of the fingers, the 4 finger guard can be racked (like on a lever action rifle) to retract the blade into itself then into the handle switching the weapon from sword mode to gun mode.

Notes:

• Reload time on the guns are slow but can be improved by the use of quick loaders, but even with these it's still fairly slow.

• The swords are made of a lightweight but strong metal making it easier to use and doesn't cause as much fatigue on the user.

• When broken up the spent bullet casing will eject from the revolver.

• When broken open to eject spent casings, the sword will breaks where the trigger guard and 4 finger guard meet and will stay open until it is closed again.

•The Dust tipped bullets do not pierce like the regular bullets do but infact do elemental damage instead of piercing damage.
