No blade staffs

That style guard does not work

You do NOT want to be using the magazine as part of the hilt, EVER, that is infinitely more problems than it is worth

scissor swords, while they look cool (kind of) are horribly impractical even by RWBY standards.

As that weapon does not provide sufficient recoil to compensate and counter the weight of swings, it is not a good idea for an agility fighter to use it.

the way you have described, he carries 3 sheathes for it which is stupid and adds extra bulk to his kit. choose a configuraton and store it that way.

The triggers seemingly move around between forms which is just asking for trouble.

The magazines would have to be either oddly shaped or bullpup style, but for them to be bullpup style they would need to be extremely low caliber to fit in the width of a sword hilt.

I'm sure i missed some other glaring flaw, but at least you put in the effort to make a visual aid.
