I made a rope dart weapon way back in May last year, when I first joined the wiki. It has no ranged function though; it's just a rope dart.

I honestly wouldn't worry overly about making a weapon that has similarities to a weapon in the show, as long as there are key differences and isn't a straight rip off from the show. There's always going to be characters who use similar weapons. The only weapon you can't get away with is a scythe, unless you specify that the user is not very skilled at it at the time of the first episode.

And ammo count...yeah. RWBY itself doesn't show people reloading or running out of ammo very often. It's a stylistic choice to avoid breaking up fights with reloads. You can assume that they do reload, but they don't do it on screen and they're so good at it that it doesn't affect their combat anyway.
