Nah, I think it's pretty obviously a joke.

>The MS is still pushing too, you know. But the back of an anti-ship sword would provide a handhold for additional leverage and grip when pushing.
I was specifically thinking of how Gaia was sent reeling by some of Impulse's swings. Beam sabers shouldn't have that same sort of forceful effect.
>Huh? Beam sabers have always been able to be thrown. Beam boomerangs are literally the same tech as beam sabers but in a slightly different shape and optimized for throwing and retrieval.
An anon earlier in the thread made me look through 6 different databooks to try to find info about the Sword Strike, and what I gathered is that the Schwert Gewehr and beam boomerangs carry capacitors that let them function out of the MS's hands. But that might just be some BS the books added to make them sound more special and it's actually standard on all sabers, so nvm that.
>I've seen them stab fairly well, but swinging? I don't know about that, they've been blocked pretty frequently.
I was specifically thinking of this.
