The gravity blaster would be a different sort of gun.

When the mouse is held, the player would be held in place and many small beamlike projectiles would come forwards while the gun charged. These projectiles would deal small bits of knock back, but little to no damage. They would travel very slowly, but would have huge range and knockback similar to valiance's charge at 5*.

When the gun is charged in similar time to a gran faust charge, it shoots a larger projectile that deals a status effect and passes through enemies. I'm thinking that freeze and fire would be good statuses.

Upgrading the weapon would result in better status, more range and more knock back. The base weapon would be either a boss reward, or come from catalyzer, starting at the star.

If the charge+attack combo proves too hard to code, the weapon could be given one shot that lasts like ten seconds and reloads almost instantly to make it more conventional.

+1.

Off topic:
I think that flamethrower could work on similar way:
You spread fire and charge while holding attack button, and unleash the charge when releasing the attack button. The regular attack would cause little damage and the charge would cause slightly more damage and minor fire. The regular attack would let the player move freely.

Yes, it could. I would definitely love to see a flamethrower added.

For a moment there I read the

For a moment there I read the title and thought, "inverse of graviton bomb as a gun"
And then I thought would be a cool defense "weapon".

Create wall or anti-gravity area of deprival effect.

I think any sort of gravity weapon would be awesome, really. An inverse blaster that dealt a bit less damage but had the knockback vectors reversed, a force field type thing... I originally thought of having it have a wide spread but then I thought that as a gun, it should primarily hit only one target. Loads of cool things with knockback are easy to conceptualized and haven't been done.
