So, number 1:
Where to hold rifle? Onehanded gun is un-ideal gun.
I suppose you could use it like giant punch dagger... Getting fairly GoW Ripper vibes from the thing.
It's a massive square. Stock is short as hecc, and the mag is awkwardly placed and shaped, making reloads somewhat more difficult.
It has no goddamn sights. Then again, in close, you don't need that much in sighting...
Second one, uh... Lethal buttstrokes? Your leverage is going to be pants, and you won't hurt them if you don't use it right. Also difficult reloads because cutting hand.
Micro missiles seems... overly complex. Maybe something like a good old USGL would do.
It does have the holy grail, a SIGHT, which is good.
M-70 is asthetic AF, G-85 just looks silly.
5/10, the briccness and the awkwardly placed bayonet just... ergh.

For the M-70, there's a large rectangular gap where an individual would grip the weapon with their second hand. It can't really be used for thrusting based attacks, as the frontal projection of the blade is far too short; it's meant instead for slashing and chopping motions, like a big axe. And yeah, it doesn't look pretty, but it was my intention from the beginning for it to turn out looking like a giant brick.
The G-85 is admittedly a bit strange, though that was also the intention. It's overall silhouette and design principles are the source of in-lore inspiration from a certain group of alien weapons, which are characterized by their ludicrous affinity for blades and pointy bits. I mention within the first few sentences that this is a controversial weapon that requires significant awareness and caution on part of the user.
Regardless, this is totally an unconventional rifle for what is, at the end of the day, a fictional setting in a distant future.

Stupid idea:
Ok, so you know how some guns you hold the weapon almost vertical and practically rip out the mag?
You whip some fucker with the blade, and then press a button for spring loaded mag eject to fire empty mag at them lel.

That is, indeed, one way the G-85 can be potentially utilized.
