SAM66
A dull steel-colored lump of metal rests on its side at the edge of a forest near the fjord. Its model name is SAM66. It is a submachine gun made from Gungnir, the Noble Phantasm, modeled after the demonic lance Noble Phantasm said to have once been wielded by Odin the Allfather himself. It's the Valkyries' newest armament, given to them automatically when they transform into their new Assassin summer Spirit Origins.
Why a gun? Two possible explanations come to mind: It may be that Thrúd, Hildr, and Ortlinde were influenced by the first-person shooter they've been playing on Tomoe Gozen's recommendation. Or maybe Odin's got a thing for guns.
One explanation is as likely as the other.
