First, I'll point out why I have this theory:

Peridot is obviously a transitional gem, a "transgem," like we have "transhumans," which are humans enhanced via technological means.(Look up "Transhumanism" if you're confused.)

Peridot is the only gem we have seen so far who has technology incorporared into her body, so I think that it's safe to say that she's a technologically enhanced gem, a transgem.

So, who's saying that her gem itself isn't enhanced too? If her gem happens to be technologically enhanced, her weapon could be a giant mech. A giant humanoid machine that she controls.

Because yeah, it's a bit of a mouthful, but we have yet to know what 6000 years of technological advancement of Gem technology has done. As Lapis said: "Everything is so different here!"
