He's fighting the second largest Grimm to date. If he faught a Beowolf, then we can safely agree that his weapons does suck if he can't even kill one with a couple of shots.

Don't underestimate size. Just because his weapons barely flinched a gigantic snake, doesn't mean it's weaksauce. This is the very same weapon that nearly cut the Deathstalker's shining tail.

His melee capabilities are most likely exhausting, which is why he prefers to use a weapon than show off his Hokuto No Ken skills.
