FFVIII had those gun swords that had no gun functionality whatsoever. I kept thinking "this will be the upgrade that lets me shoot the gun, or launch the blade, or supercharge the blade with an explosive hit, or something to justify the fact that the handle is a revolver." Each successive upgrade, it increased my expectations that the gun function would be awesome, because otherwise it would have been an earlier upgrade.

Don't you press R1 when your attack hits to pull the trigger for extra damage? You do use the revolver part, just only in close combat.

Or did I hallucinate that? It's been over 20 years since I played it.

No, I'm replaying 8 via the mobile remaster right now and that is what you can do and how the game essentially explains why it happens. It only works with Squall and Seifer as well.
