Then again, we don't know anything about Umber or Apricot. Maybe the axes and spear have something else to them.

Magic infused throwing knives actually sounds pretty badass. A laid back, although sarky character would be able to pull off more taunts and one-liners from a position where he doesn't have to move. The fact we can't see him with any weapons in any of his appearances seems to give off the whole magic thing also. You are right about a lack of ranged weapons and I do agree he may be the ranged one, I have a feeling his weapon is more likely to be a Bow or Crossbow and/or have some sort of magic than a gun. The reason I think this is because team RWBY is all hi-tech gun based weapons, where as team JUAN seems to be more primitive less techy kind of weapons. This may also be why they are in these teams, maybe they are put together by the way their weapons work, although this is quite unlikely. Nah I can't see that "Tech segregation" thing coming into play, although you are somewhat right about the complexity of the weapons we've seen so far.

However, I wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Those axes might have some kind of energy garrote between them, or that spear might be able to electrify the ground or something.

And a Bow can be techy too. It might run on 'energy arrows' or something. Maybe it could break apart into a pair of Kama, like Pits bow.
