2) We have seen them dying from blunt trauma alone, however, so it's all irrelevant. 1) we've never, not ONCE seen Yang kill Grimm with her Fists Alone. She ALWAYS has the Celica. And that's been shown to deliver a shotgun blast with every punch. The punch itself isnt a cutting attack, but the shotgun blast, which is presumably Slugs, is a piercing attack, like any bullet. Every punch comes with a high-velocity stab.

All the rest of your points are valid. I guess the main part about my 'blunt weapons don't kill' philosophy came from the fact that we've seen Grimm fade instantly when hit with swords. If they're hit with blunt force, they tend to just collapse. But I can also see how that's really subjective and doesn't hold up too well.

I'll think about a 'No Weapons' philosophy for Azure moving forward. We'll see how that goes. Right now, it's too early to tell.
