Comment on FFVIII Gunblade V2 - Hi-Res by mogcaiz
In all honesty, I think you shift away from the fact that this is a game as it does not care about accuracy to the tiniest details*. Such as why they use bullets and not shells/blanks? But the answer in this case is simply because it wouldn't match the design of a revolver, unless if it was a shotgunblade. Which it is not.
Does it says in game that the gunblade is too unwieldy to use it as a projectile weapon, if it fired any projectiles at all? I believe the simple fact that you never see it used as a gun, like irvine's gun, throughout the WHOLE game, should be proof enough that the gunblade, is in fact, just a sword and cannot fire projectiles. But its enhanced with similar features where you can load ammunition into it for better damage efficiency.
The game is permanently printed on my disk as well, and I also take in game information prior, but I leave the interpretation of it to the experts who dedicate their time and research based on game facts they find. Which takes me to wiki, which have concluded it does not fire projectiles.
Since the wiki can be edited by anyone, then you also know that its been written by gamers and fans who in majority believes that it cannot fire based on the hard found facts available from the game. Hence why it states it does not fire any projectiles. If there was even a small minority who have any valid point that the gunblade is capable of firing projectiles, I believe it would been at least have been mentioned as an confirmed debated article, simply because its how wiki works.
But please provide to me the source/mags where it is clearly written or you see the gunblade used as a projectile weapon from long range. I'm open to change my description and comply to you if its proven.

*To give you a scale of how many ignored details there are in the game just watch this review: [link] (the guy is exaggerating, but he got lots of valid points) FF8 probably have the most broken storyline of all FF games. And since FF8 is only a game, and not a law of physics book: its allowed to take a step from reality to make their game world work, including the tiny details such as weapon effectiveness versus large monsters. If the the game should make sense at all, then why do we see t-rexes in game?
