    Every time I see a huge blade on the edge of a gun barrel I think about how much it must have sucked to aim. I've seen some halberds with pistols integrated into them as well.

    I guess the idea is you're only going to be shooting someone right in front of you, or they're purely ornamental weapons.

      They probably would have all been smooth-bore so aiming was more of a suggestion beyond point-blank range. That being said I think you're right about the assumption these are mostly ornamental, they were probably the old timey equivalent of mall ninja shit except with better craftsmenship
