My solution to the recoil was simply to give it to a "Brick" type (Density/Gravity Semblance added on). Given how arbritary recoil is in the RWBY-verse however, it probably doesn't matter.

Anyways, I'm working under the assumptions that a weapon type (Sniper Scythe, Shot Gauntlet, Chain Scythe, Dust Rapier) are standard, with the first two letters being the modification, so a LMG/Flail with the "Modification" of "Multiple Barrels/Flailheads". a "Mutliple Barrel Assault Flail" (Machine flail just doesn't sound as cool). falling under the same "Weapon Family" (Ie. Mercury's greaves and Ember Celica, Maghild and Bazooka, Milo and Akouoo and Crocea mors) as Crescent Rose, being a heavy, regular bullet-based 2-handed poleweapon with the barrle pointed towards the buisness end and a teritary form (In this case, the flails retracting to act as a mace).

Now, that's just me trying to add some "Parameters" to start the design. Anyway, it's not meant for precision, finesse, or any of that, but rather simply crushing foes rapidly, as the flail, with 3 heads and a whip-like design, could go around guards, while the gun form simply shoots too many bullets to block with most weapons. Would the flail-heads serve as muzzle-brakes or something when not being flailed about? Also, the problem I see with this is that is the melee capability does not appear to be very suitable for CQC and the ammo consumption of that thing would be quite high. T
