It looks more like an umbrella honestly, Ooobleck's weapon.

Just waiting for that White Fang goons x Ruby doujin. It was a perfect setup. They even beat her up (a punch and kick to the face, ouch, that seems like it hurts more than Mercury's) in canon; that's more than enough excuse to go... that way.

The scope is totally impractical. The reason we have an upright cross for a gun scope is so that we can measure space accurately, especially when wind comes in as a major factor. Crescent Rose's couldn't measure shit.

Well, I know Ironwood isn't evil. He has a good will and is a good man at heart. On the other hand, the episode also emphasises that Ozpin keeps too much secrets that he can no longer force himself to trust him by faith alone. Ironwood is itching to act, and from his description Ozpin used to be the kind of person who acts decisively, which is why the change is so unbearable.

The betrayal's coming. Penny, this is one time you don't want to be combat ready - because it will mean the beginning of your life as a mere weapon.
