If we’re to hazard a guess on Taiyang’s weapon, I’d wager that-similar to how Qrow’s weapon/fighting inspired Ruby-Yang’s inspired by her father, which gives us as fans and theorists, a leg up in the guessing game. Seeing as Yang’s gauntlets fire projectiles, would it be an unfair assumption to postulate her father’s weapon would do the same?

Let’s say he does indeed use a punching weapon, that category isn’t as broad as a sword or a spear, giving us a few viable options. For instance, the Katar is an eastern weapon originating from India. It has a prominent blade, a partially guarded place for your hand, and if you go online you can find one with flintlock guns attached.

The bagh nakh is less likely to be outfitted with a gun, although there’s a set of karambits irl that were made to go to a glove-ish device which allowed them to serve as a bagh nakh all together. And, seeing as Remnant’s weapon physics are sketchy in specific areas, I’d say it’s possible that Taiyang could use this karambit/bagh nakh as an assortment of melees and use the karambits as boomerangs.
