Description

So I figured I hadn't really drawn a RWBY style weapon with a primary BFS form. Hell, I haven't drawn a BFS in general for a long time. So here's my latest BFS, that is also a cannon. After all, if a guy's gonna use a BFS as his main weapon, it might as well turn into a BFG to match. It's relatively simple, so this description probably won't be as long as my usual descriptions.

Greatsword: A massive blade designed for strong, heavy blows. A bit slow, but it makes up for it with the power between each swing. This is the default form of the weapon. It's also good for blocking attacks due to it's girth allowing it to act as a shield as needed. The blade alone is over 4 feet long. 

Cannon: (Shown as a side view compared to the sword) Well okay, it's not exactly a medieval-style cannon, but it's two extremely high-caliber guns with drum clips for each built into the oversized cross-guard. The blades turn 90 degrees and the grip folds into a more appropriate gun grip. A handle folds up from the blade to act as a forward grip to compensate for the heavy weight.  The main downside is that the rounds are so massive that it's impractical to load new drums in the middle of combat, so ammo conservation is important; each drum holds 20 rounds each. However the 1.00 caliber, dust-enhanced bullets should hopefully compensate for this as they're powerful enough to take out most things in only a few shots, and sometimes even pierce through multiple weaker enemies.

Storage: Naturally the greatsword is so massive that it barely even fits on the guy's back in sword form, so the blade can retract like in cannon form, but without rotating so that it stays flat and fits in a sheath. Although admittedly even in this form the sword is still relatively large. The sword is still fully combat capable in storage mode, and sometimes waiting to extend it into the full greatsword mode until already in combat can make an effective sudden attack or intimidation tactic. 

Mobility: This weapon does not have much in the way of providing mobility to the user. If the blade is extended, holding onto the sword blade-down when landing allows the user to retract the blade as it sinks into the ground to soften the landing. Alternatively the blade can extend fast enough to launch the user several feet into the air if pointed towards the ground. The cannons also have significant recoil, so if the user fires both cannons at once without bracing themselves, they can move the user significant distances. 

Also, I'm taking Name Suggestions for this weapon.
