Aren't the Mechanized Gun and Blade Launcher, like, awful though? Reading their stats on the wiki makes them both sound inferior to the Fine Revolver, which is available practically from the beginning of the game. The Repeater Rifle and Elephant Gun required to make the Mechanized Gun and Blade Launcher (respectively) are both superior to the weapon they create, and the Fine Revolver is better than the Repeater Rifle.
