Crimson Rose, Ruby's Sniper Scythe, must weigh in the region of 100 pounds, the majority of that being in its blade and the mid-shaft around the receiver and firing mechanisms yet she swings it around as if it were made of foam rubber. Similarly, Magnhild is so unbalanced that Nora should have problems even lifting it.

The Rule of Cool applies here as the only significant law of physics. While I agreed that the rule of cool is working here Monty is at least trying to explain the mechanics by using the explosive recoil of the rifle component to justify Ruby's ability to weild Crescent Rose so effectively.
