1) Firing at the nevermore point blank...from several meters away. She was standing on a dome several yards away from the thing.

2) And if you remember, nothing but the crescent rose 'did anything' to the Grimm; not even repeated cuts from both blades of the Gambol Shroud as Blake ran down it's back.

3) Dust is probably at least moderately expensive, seeing as it made the Schnee family into tycoons, and she's a student without any form of income. It becomes a matter of cost vs reward.

4) No need to get disrespectful. I'm just trying to have a civil discussion about the plausibility of a rule-of-cool driven weapon in a fictional universe.

I say we... drop this conversation.... 1) .....No she wasn't. I mean, at one point all of Team RWBY is standing on the pillar...temple...ruins in the area, firing at the Nevermore. But if you remember, pretty much all those shots failed and the Nevermore simply crashed the segments they were standing on.

I was talking about when she jumped on it's mouth and fired at it's mouth. Which is point-blank. Why the hell would I say "point blank" for the previous scene?

2) And Crescent Rose only worked when the thing got pinned down while Ruby was effectively being pushed by Weiss upwards. Meaning she had hundreds or thousands more momentum at that time, than Blake did when she sliced the Nevermore's back.

And, of course, the neck tends to be more vulnerable than the back for most creatures.

3) If it was "moderately expensive", it wouldn't be so common-place. It's used for literally everything, it's pretty much the one-and-only energy source mankind uses. It's even their gunpowder.

The SDC got rich because Santa Claus had the balls to go find the richest-in-Dust places. Which means the SDC got the biggest bucket to fill. Combined with the production of Dust products, besides refining Dust, the SDC got rich due to higher quantity and quality.

It's like Oil. Whoever has more oil will be richer than those who have less oil.

4) Except it feels like you barely read what I say at times. I say X and you think I said Z. So, read.

Fine...
