    I don't think so. The spiked chain grants you options. It gives you reach, and it lets you trip and disarm with it, and gives you bonuses to both, while also letting you maintain your adjacent threat.

    The gunblade gives you damage, but that's it, and the damage is pretty small unless you invest gold into it. At higher levels, most classes do have better things to do with their swift actions than increase their damage for the round, and those that don't, well, now they get something out of the action economy that they always lacked. If you are spending a feat in order to get scaling damage, then it should obviously be better than EWP (Katana) or Weapon Specialization.

    However, if it's really too much, I can just drop it to 2d6, +1d6 per enhancement.
