Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-7468226-20160113050739

Hello all, I'm here to present a completely and utterly speculative theory on what Velvet's weapon is.

My basic idea is that Vevet can one-time copy weapons she's taken a picture of. From what we know about her weapon, this satisfies Coco's advice about her not using it all up. The only evidence I have to support this is that she takes a picture, specifically, of Sun's weapons, before returning both the camera and the picture to the magic box. I feel the need to also point out that the box is far larger that the camera, meaning to me that there is yet more to see of it's function.

If I had to guess, I'd say the box consumes the picture and "prints" the weapon for use, sorta like some weird 2d-3d printer. I would be inclined to believe the box eats the picture, then the weapon is assembled through the camera lens using some form of dust as a power source.

Or I could be wrong in my entirety. I believe that the RWBY team wouldn't put the picture and the camera in the episode if there weren't some reason behind it other than Velvet's poor photography being put on display.
