	Though stat-wise the Pistol Swords are identical to [[Officer's Rapiers]], they can often be inferior to Officer's Rapiers due to some of the unique animations. While the Pistol Swords can perform all of the Officer's Rapiers kill moves, sometimes Edward will end his attack by firing the Pistol Sword(s) and holding it still (ostensibly for a style kill). As the player cannot stop the animation, they may be hit by incoming attacks with no way to counter.

	Historically, the idea of a pistol sword is much less glamorous. The reality is that such a weapon would be too heavy from the added weight of a firearm, to be carried in one hand. A second deterring factor is that if held downwards, as Edward does when idle, the [[lead]] balls used as ammunition would often fall out of the barrels of the pistols unless fixed with [[wax]], or specialized locking breeches.
