Where I got this idea was from this fanfic https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10974040/1/Soulforged, which is a side story of this one. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10062463/1/Soulbound.

In Soulbound, Aura users are able to exchange pieces of their souls to bond with one another, granting access to each other's Aura reserves, the ability to locate each other, and have a vague form of telepathy and battle coordination. In Soulforged, the principle is basically applied to the weapon being made, using Aura to create a different kind of bond with the weapon during the forging process, alowing the maker to wield the weapon as part of themselves in a literal sense, rather than metaphorical.

Personally, I agree it's a bit farfetched for this to be canon to the show. However, Jaune modifying Crocea Mors to make it uniquely his could certainly help him, as would his use of additional weapons. (The handgun suggestion reminds me a lot of Captain America, in how he's a loser-turned-badass using a pistol and shield at some points in the first movie).
