In terms of the Storm Flowers, I simply see it as a problem when your blades are more effective than your bullets. I would be interested, though, to se if he has a super-badass weapon ammo, like Yang's red shells, Ruby's cross-clips, and Weiss's white dust.

On the topic of Gambol shroud - It always seemed a little weak compared to the rest of team RWBY's weapons. It's a pistol... on a whip. I mean, Ruby's got a .50 Cal, Yang has frag round-shooting guantlets, and Weiss literally has the power of nature incarnite. The sword-pistol-whip idea just doesn't stack up. Point is, I feel like if it was anyone other than Blake fighting Roman in Episode 16, they could've beat him easily. Even with heavy use of her Semblance and help from Sun, Blake still essentially lost, and Penny had to save the day.
