That is a couple of 17-year-old with razor-sharp cutting weapons, super-powers and the training to make them work. Something tells me that this was not the sort of threat that the Paladin was really designed to handle.

Note the amount of work RWBY had to put in to kill the Paladin. I'm pretty sure it could pulverise even large groups of giant Grimm without much difficulty.
