Roman is clearly a highly skilled bartitsu fighter (cheers Gray for the knowledge) and he is a notorious and seemingly psychopathic criminal to boot. A criminal that Cinder clearly believes could be a valuable asset in her plot for world-fuckingupping. He blocked both Blake's and Sun's (the latter of which was using shotguns at point blank range...) barrages of attacks with ease, hell he was laughing at Sun as Sun was blasting him with shotgun-chucks a mere two feet away.

I hold nothing again Blake, she's good, but I don't think any one on Team RWBY (or JNPR for that matter) are in a position where they could defeat someone the caliber of Roman or Adam solo. I didn't mean she could've killed him in the fight. I meant, if she had actually gone in for a stealth attack, she could've at least injured him, rather than just sneaking up to say "Hi, tell me stuff." I say "at least injured," since I'm not sure if Gambol Shroud's pistol is even capable of shooting actual bullets that could do any real damage from a distance.

Crescent Rose, however, has shown (mainly in the Red Trailer) that it does have enough firepower to do a lot of damage, so if Ruby hadn't had a problem with just shooting him in the back from the rooftop, she definitely could've killed him.
