Ice Saber: The Cutting Blade, with the modifications of the Strike Blade.
DoubleSide: The Hyperion, with a double-sided blade forged out of special alloys. Heavy.
Organics: Similar to the DoubleSide, except for a more organic-looking design. The blade is coated with a carbon steel-tungsten alloy, which provides a sharper, more durable edge.

The clip allows for a larger, hotter round, and the chamber is modified specifically to handle Pulse ammunition in .51 caliber. Holy-elemental.Lionheart Gunblade (Revolver)
