The Bardiche-Rifle's melee type consists of a transformable Bardiche blade attached to a fairly long shaft. The shaft is weighted on the opposite end to allow proper balance. The Blade is actually made up of two pieces which rotate around a pivot point, allowing several different configurations, including a standard Bardiche, a shorter, two-bladed battleaxe, and even a scythe-like pickaxe. The Blades can also separate in order to allow the rifle to fire while in melee mode. Shells can also be used to increase the Blade's striking power, in order to crack tough opponents or slice throw rows of weaker enemies.

The Bardiche-Rifle's ranged Type can be utilized at any given time, though range and accuracy may suffer when utilized in one of the Melee configurations. When used exclusively as a rifle, the Bardiche blades fold safely away, and the weapon configures itself into a form that is more ergonomically designed and better balanced for use as a rifle.

By utilizing the power and recoil of the Shell, the Bardiche-rifle can be used to Augment the user's mobility and agility.
