"blade-gun" You mean Gunlance?

Anyway, I think the hounds would be better as an alternate to the Felynes, except more attack focused; though it be nice if they could pick up shiny drops for you so you could keep up the attack. Not sure what would happen in areas with Felynes though.

The Boomerang seems nice, but with it's size an weight it's range would be rather short(2 back hops probably), but at least it could cut tails easily.
