Assuming Yang made her weapons before Ruby, this makes her the uber-smart weapon designer as no one else in Remnant seems to use a recoil based fighting style. No it doesn't, we haven't seen much of the previous generation at all, especially Tai-yang, weaponized recoil requires the weapon and user to have and/or be able to use it, Yang can because of her Semblance, Ruby can because of her relative size/weight to her weapon and because her semblance seems to allow her to control her acceleration to an extent, enabling her to go faster than the recoils force alone can provide.
