Could be just a scythe. It's possible that Ozpin was referring to the scythe alone. In reality, a scythe IS a difficult item to use as a weapon (it's actually not a weapon, but rather a farming implement). Also, Ruby DID mention to Jaune that she "went a little overboard designing it". Perhaps Qrow's semblance allows him to do things that Ruby's can't, so she added the gun feature to make up for that difference.
