The fact she only captured a small part of the weapon says she's a bad photographer. Framing is important, and she did not properly frame ANYTHING.

Dust is not a mineral, it is effectively congealed elemental energy.

Basically crystalized mana.

And it is not an infinite source, it has a limited amount of energy to it, meaning it can as amatter of fact be measured if we had more information.

As for other energy; we do have a way to estimate caloric intake; an average packet of ramen noodles has  ~380-400 calories.

If we look at the noodles they ate in Round One

we can determine an average huntsman or huntress can and will consume 7-8 times that amount in one sitting, not accounting for extras they might have been too lazy/busy to render (yay toppings!) and it's a safe guess they can easily consume aroung 200-300 calories in a single sitting

We can also account for the variety and quantity of food in the cafeteria on a random day from the food fight in Bst Day Ever, and determine they eat A LOT OF FUCKING CALORIES at any given meal.

Seriously, one 17 year old girl in Remnant can eat enough to feed an entire college football team.

caloric energy is definitely no issue.
