It's not just you, and it's been mentioned already (that's why I put a link to that other thread).

Castaway said:he can still hold the sword, but he can now fire the cannon and shoot the crossbow.

jackson_hurley said:must be talking about the one in the dvd's special features where miura said he was afraid that raimi would sue him because of evil dead because of its "similarities" (the arm + the shotgun versus the arm plus the huge sword) wich is not a source of inspiration...
Aazealh said:Well that sort of was my point, implying that he hadn't said so. I wasn't really expecting an answer.
Triggormortis said:because he only has one arm, his body tries to overcompensate for the loss by making his other arm more powerful. Kind of like blind people gaining super-hearing and the like.
well didn't gets get shot in the left hand when he fought the 100 mercenaries? he probably learned how to compensate from that point on, so it really wouldn't have to much of an effect on his skill with the dragon slayerkrazin said:I'd like to have your opinions regarding if Guts would be a better warrior if he still had his left hand.
There are advantages to both..
If he still had his left hand, I believe he would be more versatile maneuvering his sword, and a big increase in his dexterity. Would give him more options in a battle also, should he choose to grab or throw an object, etc.
The fake hand enables Guts to make use of that cannon which aided him in several fights against apostles, as well as the option to mount the cross bow on and shoot down targets. The hand is also able to cling ahold of the sword due to its magnetism. It can also be used to crush enemies' faces or inflict damage by punching.
I believe he would be a better fighter if he didn't lose his hand. The things he can do with the sword is amazing with one real hand and one magnetic one clinging on. But I believe he would be more spectacular and graceful if he had two real hands grabbing hold of the Dragon Slayer. Its also kind of a pity to see him missing a limb when he doesnt have his armor or hand worn.

test_subject39 said:have you ever hurt you hand really bad(like break your wrist)? it won't ever be as strong again, so you have to make do with what you have. the other one may still work, but you tend to use the healthy one more and thats how you develop a style.
so guts having lost his hand wouldn't have much of a difference due to the diminished dexterity in his left hand Challenge or not he would have.

exactly my point is the that he needs to improvise with what he has lostWraith King said:the loss of movement in his wrist which is fundamental in basic swordsplay would imply that unless hes developed compensation in his style hes actually not fighting at the level that he could with his real arm BUT its just as probable that he shifts the weight and subsequent strain to the prosthetic arm and so can fight faster and with less damage to his wrists - considering the tremendous size of his blade, having the cannon may seem redundant in that his sword will cause adequate damage to slay most foes and its reload time is well - good for a cannon - but the real usefullness in it is that its not visable - and really unexpected with he can use to his advantage
Wraith King said:in any case it can be said that the fact that he has the repeater crossbow in his fake arm makes difficult situations a lot easier
