To me, it looked like his weapon's shots can be affected by whatever dust crystal he's holding. In episode 1, when he was holding the red crystal, the shot he fired at Ruby was large and red, but later, when he threw the crystal, the shot fired from his cane was smaller and white. It's possible that some weapons can be affected by use of dust.

Since he's gathering so much dust and wants a lot of henchmen, it's plausible that the henchmen could use the dust. Maybe some of them will specialize in certain colors of dust.
