I think switching weapons between team members could be a very effective strategy, but an incredibly hard one to pull off. It would require a great deal of practice, and a good deal of understanding about how each one of your teamate's weapons works. I doubt a team like RWBY would be able to pull it off. I just can't see someone like Weiss, who seems like she has only trained with rapiers her whole life, being able to use something like Crescent Rose on the fly in the middle of a battle. That said, the idea still could be implemented just not anytime soon, unless we actively see team members starting to practice with each others weapons. What would be awesome to see, and something that i've been thinking of for a while, is a team whos strategy revolves around switching weapons and using their teamates. Picture a team whose members all fight with an identical weapon in each hand, similar to Ren's StormFlower. During the course of a battle anyone of them can call out a command and switch one of their weapons with that of one of their teamates. Now they're fighting with one of their own weapons and one of their teamates. As the fight continues they could keep switching with other teamates until it gets to the point at the end of the fight when no member is using either of their own weapons.
