One, i didn't say that it is an unbeatable form of weaponry, two, the weapons rarity and the rarity of users skilled with the weapon can both be inferred from the RWBY episodes we have as of right now, with Ozpin stating that the only other person he knew to be as highly skilled with a gunscythe as Ruby was her uncle Qrow, along with the lack of any other weapons (excluding the two) currently depicted in the series utilizing a gunscythe as its archetype. Also while we disregard the types of guns variants each archetype is capable of acquiring, with the base range having the scythe being better suited at a range whereas the sword being vastly superior at mid range, between equally skilled combatants, the one who has a range advantage would win should their affinity with their opponents style of combat be advantageous, which i believe to be the case with the gunscythe over the gunblade. I have already given my arguments for why i believe it is so, and i have given my reasons for why i compared the gunchaku's style of combat bearing similarity to that of the gunscythes, which again you clearly disregarded.
