Rotary saws are meant to be used on something that is mounted for a reason- because they cannot cut through things otherwise and could harm the user. Also, they are often caught in softer materials like Grimm flesh. And that's where you're wrong.

Those are problems with a NORMAL rotary saw.

A dual-blade rotary saw is a different beast. The blades on a dual blade saw rotate on opposite directions; they do this for a few reasons all of which mitigate the flaws in a single blade saw.

First off; they are easier to control. Having two blades rotating at the same speed in opposite directions cancels out the gyroscopic force.

Second order of business; they don't snag, and thus don't kick back. When one blade would snag, the other cuts it loose simultaneously by coming in at the same point from the opposite direction. Those things cut through sheet metal like tissue paper; grimm armor is the same story.

You're also making the assumption that Grimm flesh acts anything like organic tissue; which we have seen time and again simply isn't the case. They have no endoskeleton, and even fairly weak fighters (such as Jaune back in V1) can behead a larger Grimm (the Ursa Major) with a single hit. IF Grimm worked like actual animals, Ruby and Qrow wouldn't have been able to cut the Sphynx in half with their double spinning attack thing; their weapons would have gotten stuck.

You say the biggest draw of RWBY is the fanon potential, yet you constantly apply real-world logic and restrictions to the weapons. If we used those standards, only about 1/3 of the in-show weapons would work. period.

Open your mind, Rebin; rule of cool is law in this neck of the woods.
