The pistols are used just like regular pistols, same with the rifles. The swords are all a bit different in design; one's a katana, another is long and thin like a rapier, another is crescent-shaped, one's designed as an English broadsword, and the last one is actually two blades in one-there's a blade at either end, both katana-style, and they can be seperated. The gauntlets are mostly for hand-to-hand combat. All of them use a substance similar to a ghost's own ectoplasm to combat them; the pistols and rifles shoot bullets that are loaded with it, the swords are made of a crystallized form of the substance, and the gauntlets have crystallized forms of it in their palms.
