CIV and Leviathan vs Gun puppies and weap for alpha wolvers

Hi, I have two main questions I'd like help with:

On my bomber, I'm using a calibur line sword to charge attack gun puppies. Does Cold Iron Vanquisher kill gun puppies in the same number of hits as Leviathan in t3, assuming no UVs? Are there any notable differences between them aside from damage? (Like is CIV's charge time slower, is it true that CIV's weaker knockback lets you hit twice on charge attack on non-frozen monsters, etc)

Does Dark Thorn Blade or Callahan interrupt/block alpha wolver attacks either on attack flash or mid-charge? I'm looking for a piercing weapon for my gunner and I'm really jealous of how Nitronome just knocks down alpha wolvers. I've seen Magnus flinch normal wolvers, and I've tried out the 2* thorn weap but my memory is a little hazy.

1) It should be the same. You might run into rare instances when you have 4 in your party at a certain depth where the CIV can't finish off the gun puppy in the same number of hits. Can't say for sure since we don't know their exact HP. The CIV's damage nerf is small enough that it should not matter most of the time. Charge times are the same. The CIV does have weaker knockback, but both swords can connect multiple times against unfrozen opponents. The Levi just flings them farther way.

2) Don't know actually.

The third hit of the BTB

The third hit of the BTB basic combo knocks down wolvers and I assume the other piercing swords function the same way. I believe the snarbolax 'holgram' in the BTB charge attack does as well, but I've never paid much attention to it since kiting wolvers rarely involves staying still for long. As for the callahan I'm pretty sure it the charge attack interupts them but I don't believe the regular shots do, although you'd have to ask someone with more experience gunning.
