I'm sort of glad it can't. I know R2 had already pushed well into super-robot territory, but I think slash-beams would still be excessive, and I didn't like that Bismarck could "swat" the Baryon cannon's energy away. I could see him just holding the sword in front of him and letting its barrier deflect the blast around him and into the helicopters, but slapping it was too much. That said, I do think the Galahad would have made more sense if it were given additional weaponry, particularly some sort of long range armaments.

For the record I regard slash harkens as medium range weapons at most, and the Galahad has the issue of losing any harkens affecting its ability to wield Excalibur as effectively.
