There are ways around that though, but were probably decided against for cost or other factors. They could've made the gun unfold into the sword like their own personal weapons, they could've made the sword longer then have it slide back a little to become the gun, they could've made the sword longer and have a fold down piece to make it a rifle. But all in all I enjoy how they made it look. It looks how you'd expect a railroad crossing gun to look. I may not like how skinny the mech looks, after the robust Kyoryuzin, but I appreciate the engineering (Ha) that went into it's design.
