Because Coco's weapon is actually not the powerful thing.

It's her combat experience.

Yes, her training made her weapon powerful. It's a factor called aura.

Think of it as like a lvl15 Coco being able to massacre lvl10 Grimms like the Nevermores and the like. Meanwhile, RWBY and JNPR, who are just level 7-8, have some trouble with those types.

Well to be fair, humanity as a whole has advanced from using Dust as sorcery to machines so naturally Grimm are far behind in terms of ability. I am sure the Grimm had been a way more of a threat back then.

I am sure that later we will see older and more deadlier forms of Grimm besides those we have seen, otherwise we will always be watching only the conflict between Dust users with a bit of Grimm action. Besides if you think of this from an ordinary person's POV, this might be reasonable since not everyone can be a Huntress or Huntsman.

Anyways this is just me applying the ranking system to the Grimm we have seen so far. While technology is mostly a factor, I'm actually literally saying that the Grimms we've seen are far FAR too weak to be a perfect example of what the Grimm are capable of.

Continuing the RPG analogy, all the Grimm we've seen so far are just enemies from the first dungeon. All potentially dangerous to the protagonists, but actually just irritatings pests to Huntsmen. (Case in point, Glynda, who doesn't even give a shit about the Beowolves)

If you want a proper scaling of a normal-leveled Grimm, then it must be able to match a proper Huntsman toe-to-toe. THAT is the average power of the Grimm, anything beyond that are the higher ranks. That said, considering a civilian in the power scale is kind of unfair though, since they have zero combat knowledge.

That's my two cents on the matter at least.
