She probably hasn't had many opprotunities to actually be a proper sniper, let alone train much for it. The sniper rifle part of CR mostly seems to be a way to bolster her momentum and striking power/speed. Her outfit also doesn't lend itself well to concealment, except perhaps in Forever Fall and that's probably stretching it.

Also, now that I think of it, CR isn't just back heavy as a spear, you're probably going to cut yourself with the scythe blade trying to stab with the spearhead, unless there's enough space in the room to let you hold it away from you. Though one solution for that would be if the "War Scythe" mode CR displays in the Red Trailer is canon, allowing the blade to rotate and change the balance a bit. Spears also suffer from the same drawback as other polearms - they're pretty useless once somehting gets past the stabby/smashy end.

Fighting unarmed should be a last resort for any fighter, and I'm sure most warriors end up in a situation where they are deprived of their primary weapon for whatever reason (Malfunction, stuck, dropped/lost and unable to retrieve, two handed weapon with one arm hurt), so a side arm ought to be considered standard kit.
