2-And what monster can you suck out nectar from? Hm?

3-The Hunting Horn too.

4-The big weapons were designed to hunt large monsters 1-That's why I counted it among those that couldn't translate well. I mean, if you remove the buff part and focus completely on the physical moves, then sure, it fits perfectly with no problems, but then it is something completely different.

2-......Dude, read what I said. The insect sucks the monster, then gives you a buff through a nectar. The insect itself is what makes the nectar. I'm pretty sure it's made of the monster's blood and other stuff, plus whatever the bug adds.

3-On the notes part. I mean, design-wise, it's just an instrument wielded like some sort of giant mace or hammer.

In some aspects it can work though. In the first 2 gens, it had a mode where the Hunter attacked with it, and a mode where the Hunter played it like an instrument to provide the buffs. In that way, it could work here, leaving aside the buffs. The next gens instead make it add notes with every attack automatically, with the Hunter at any time being able to play the horn to unleash the buffs.

It would be the same as Flynt's trumpet being used like an actual trumpet, with him either pausing to do so or switching to it entirely.

....And, of course, it could just be played like a horn to deafen others.

4-Define "large".

The Beowulves and Ursas are actually bigger/taller than most small monsters you find in Monster Hunter, like Jaggis. In some cases bigger than small monsters you find later on.

The Great Jaggi is, height-wise, like just a head taller than the average Hunter in MH. For comparison, an Alpha Beowulf is bigger than even Ironwood, IIRC. And the Major Ursa is around as big, even if slightly less tall. The Arzuros from MH is only slightly taller.

The King Taijitu and the Nevermores rival, if not eclipse, multiple initial monsters from MH, like the G. Jaggi, the Bulldrome, the Qurupeco, and so on. The Nucklelavee is also around their size, as well as the Deathstalker.

Sure, MH has titanic monsters of varying sizes that tower over some Grimm, but some Grimm tower over even some of said "titanic monsters". The Dragon is an example. The Sea Dragon is another.

So overall, saying they wouldn't work because "they were designed to kill large monsters, thus they wouldn't work in RWBY", is freaking stupid because Remnant has Grimm just as big, sometimes bigger.

And when it comes to being wielded by Hunters, we have seen what they are physically capable of. Wielding weapons of those sizes is something they are perfectly capable of doing with the proper training, as with any other weapon.
