jax is a tanky melee carry, and every champ that plays this role needs to be able to stick onto the squishy that they're smacking.

A mallet or rylais can both give jax the soft-cc that he needs to do this, but a gunblade is better because :

1. the active is ranged, and 2. it provides huge amounts of damage/ survivability along with scaling into his ult. =P
