Another data point: It's apparently perfectly legal to throw freshmen into mortal peril as a test of their skills, with no chance of backup, unless Ozpin's bluffing.

And children as young as 15 may legally own seemingly any type of firearm, with seemingly no restrictions on caliber or capacity, potentially integrated into other types of lethal weapons, which may be openly carried about. This speaks volumes of their trust in their society's children.

Back to the White Fang more generally: Whose Bullheads were those at the docks, and earlier in Cinder's hands? If they're actually the White Fang's, that implies that they have significant airlift capability, and the facilities to maintain them locally. It also gives data about one of two things: the extent of the White Fang's connections within the military-industrial complex, or the commercial availability of aircraft of that type. They also don't seem to be sporting Fang livery (somewhat at odds with practices otherwise: they've spashed their logo across the mech they acquire, and their members wear distinctive masks; they're not exactly subtle), which suggests they may be stored at a civilian facility, though they would need to do something about registry numbers and the like. They'd also be lending Cinder a lot of equipment. Conversely, if they're Cinder's, then she has access to lots more assets than we give her credit for. Or they could be Roman's, in which case he's a much bigger local underworld figure than our heretofore wildest imaginings.

This raises another question: if the Fang is planning on keeping the mech after what appears to be its first job, if they're not abandoning it, then how are they to move it around?
