The design was supposed to be used on calvalry as they said in the anime, rapiers might have allot of difficulty going through cumbersome armor...guns however did not. Guns could go through armor, so they were no longer really needed. The thing is the a swing with a good amount of force with that double bladed sword would be hard to stop. If the development of gunpower had stalled, the reforms of many nation militairy would have had different outcomes, both navy and the army.
