Im pretty sure that in the RWBY universe, given two duelists equally experienced with their weapons, gun scythe would win due to its greater reach and its uniquity. Equal skill in weaponry imo means equal level of familiarity with the most efficient techniques available to said weapons. Adding context ie RWBYverse combat, it would be considerably difficult to gain experience in countering fighting styles similar or identical to that of a highly skilled gunscyther, with only 3 currently listed being listed as Ruby Rose, Qrow Branwen, and Sun Wukong (SIMILAR or identical c.s), whereas encountering (thus countering) combat styles similar or identical to those of a gunblader would be rather simple, ie Blake Belladonna, the team CRDL gunblader, Emerald Sustrai, Roman Torchwick, etc. Thus, i have listed my reasoning for why i believe that a skilled gunscyther would defeat an equally skilled gunblader in a duel-esque situation.
