I give you the CW-AEC02X Strike Cannon.
Look upon it and weep.
(A translation is
here.)
As far as I can tell by reading the forums, this is legit. And awesome.

Eh. I look upon it and think "Raising Heart looks cooler."

I'm more interested in the comments made in the AnimeSuki thread itself. This kind of tech development in the face of the AMF fields Scaglietti designed is logical, and also an interesting step given the TSAB's mild phobia against mass weapons.
Amusingly, it seems to be a step towards more "DnD" style effects where magic is used to manipulate energy that's already there rather than shooting something with raw magic until it gives.

Hooboy......I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a 'Befriending' from that, just what size potental friends are they intending that to be used on, Cybertronians?
*Maniacal laughter* Yes! This is perrrrrrrrrrfffeeeeeeeect! (^_^)
So. wait.... it's a magical mass accelerator? Eep.
I wonder if Nanoha will head home for some training.... even if the sword mode of that thing's going to look nothing like a katana.

Good lord. Who the hell decided that giving Nanoha "Shoots through frickin' battleship bulkheads" Takamichi more firepower was a good idea? (I mean in universe. This IS really cool but still...)
May I point out, whoever it was, they gave one to Vita too.

I'm... actually... I... er... I have no idea if this is better or worse actually. One one hand, Vita is a berserker. On the other hand, she doesn't focus on massive firepower so she might show better restraint.

And on the gripping hand, Vita is a
close-combat specialist. What's she supposed to do with a ranged weapon?

Random shots while rushing to melee range much like the Orks in Warhammer 40k?
Or, if I read right, Nanoha's weapon is also a melee weapon so Vita's might be more melee specialised while offering ranged options as well.

Redefine "close"?

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
Redefine "gun".
As in, "A gun that fires Vita", somewhat akin to the L'Arc du Triomphe gun in Sakura Taisen Paris, that fires mecha.

Y'know, I can just imagine this in use. A bunch of mooks see the TSAB forces pull back from their position and wonder if it was really that easy. Then they hear this sound, just barely inside their hearing range. It gets louder and louder. And it sounds... angry.
Then Vita screams in from the sky, lands in their position with all the subtlety of a nuclear bomb and all hell breaks loose as they collectively think "Oh SHIT, it's HER".
*gleefully contemplating the mental image*

An Inter Continental Ballistic Vita? Ballistic being an operative word that applies to Vita's mood as well

Thats actually sounds like a crossover that might be. Heck given the background of the magic world in the show, would it be too far fetched to believe the TSAB has an outpost near Academy City?

Knowing Vita, she'd smash it into someone's face. _Then_ fire.
Any chance of rehosting the pics somewhere SFW and safe-to-visit?

I suspect those links are either time-limited or keyed to the requesting computer.
Also, am I the only one who was happier when Fate was using something that wasn't a sword? The world needs more people who fight with things that aren't swords.
-Morgan. The viewpoint character in Ar tonelico II had a spear!
Fixed. Size scaled down, but not horribly so.

Oh lord. The spoiler's weapon is a fracking gunblade in the style of final fantasy 8 hopped up on evil, I can't say i'm liking it. I thought it was stupid when I saw it the first time and still think its stupid idea :S
