And as you mentioned about how it slows you done, that is simply impractical in the RWBY universe Eh, you can add stuff to make up for it or solve the "too slow" problem.

Nora for example uses point-blank grenades and Ruby uses super-recoil shots + Semblance, allowing them to not be slowpokes despite the weight of their weapons.

Sage however, is useless, and Yatsuhashi had nothing to make up for his Monster Hunter fighting style.
