==Effects==
The effects of this glitch are obviously that you hold the sword like an SMG, but also, you can't lunge. If you go to lunge, you will slide across the ground and bump into the person, doing no damage. You can, however, still melee. The melees are the same as sword melees, 1-hit kills. However, if viewed slow-motion in theater, the glitched sword melee looks like a ninja move. The ways that cancel the glitch are switching weapons, dropping the glitched sword, and dying. Going into Monitor mode will keep the sword glitched.
