Regarding her swinging CR with just her own strength, two instances come readily to mind: first, when she's annoyed with Weiss's attitude in the Forest and cuts down that tree. She's just walking along, she whips out CR, unfolds it, slices the tree effortlessly then refolds it. At no point in that motion does she make use of the weapons momentium or center of gravity to do the work for her. The second instance is when she slices the supports holding up that pile of boxes during the chase scene with Penny and the two soldiers. The motions she uses there are much the same as the first scene.

Yes Ruby makes use of recoil, center of gravity tricks and the momentium of the weapon to save on effort and/or speed things up, but she obviously has enough strength to swing it around by main force if she has to.
