Here is my thoughts as to why they don't have these weapons. First as we agree Gunlance is a sort of copy with a blast and 1 move, so getting rid of a double helps. Second they do want a variety of weapons but at the same time not too much. Think of it in MFU you at 10 weapon types, 11 if you differentiate light and heavy bow guns. Thats super complicated for new people. We have a much broader audience and essentially thousands of "noobs" who never taken down a kut-ku. A lot of people like the dual swords but I do see why they took them out. They are an expert weapon, they still have weapons that need more skill than others but to really do well and know what to do with DS isn't a from the get go thing. So keeping it simple helps. Besides takes people out of there niche to try something new. It is a revamp of MH anyway.
