1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
The Gun Axe is effectively an axe with a pistol built into it. A trigger placed alongside the hilt allows the Gun Axe to be fired. A Gun Axe can be used both as a ranged and melee weapon, counting as an axewhen used in melee and a firearm when used at range. An Gun Axe holds four rounds, which can be reloaded as a move action.
The melee and the ranged parts of the weapon must be enhanced separately and can be made of different materials. Calculate the weapon's hit point and hardness using the highest of the two material and the higher enhancement value between both the melee and ranged version.
When used as a melee weapon, an Gun Axe counts (in the version and size here presented) as a battleaxe for feat, effect, and abilities. A Gun Axe do not share its proficiency with the battleaxe. In the hand of a proficient user, the melee and ranged part of the weapon shares any bonuses granted by feats (such as Weapon Focus (Rapier) or Improved Critical). However the ranged part of the weapon does not otherwise count as a battleaxe.
Different sizes and shapes of firearm can be put toghether with Different sizes and shapes of axe; so every weapon hybrid is possible, in general.
