-I have seen people grab swords, I dont need the link.

-My point is that it wil unlikely be the fault of the user. In terms of things out of their control, the blades at most will pushed against the user for less than a second. Plus of course, aura for those instances.

If you take away one side the weapon it will lose what it is derived from, which is a problem. Like many other weapons in RWBY this weapon is either unwieldy or simply impossible/impractical to use. It looks cool, why can't it stay the way it is? Seriously, take Yang for example,  a shotgun gauntlet I imagine would break your wrist or worse from the recoil of a single shot. It looks cool, who cares about the safety of a fictional weapn?
