And how do you reload...never mind.

My next question is the sword. How does the blade come out and how are the guard form? I'm so so sorry I wasn't able to think of the word forestock at the time.

And the blade comes out exactly as a described it. It telescopes down from the "forestock" a ways, then telescopes forward. And I don't know how the guard is formed exactly.

You would think that with all the moving pieces a RWBY weapon can have someone could get a little leniency when it comes to a ridiculously minor detail that they personally can't figure out on a component by component movement by movement basis.
