If you guys are having fun doing this, then go at it. But if not... you aren't doing anyone else any favors by getting this extremely technical. Getting a little technical is good; but, in regards to such an anime, getting so technical just serves to put people off. Don't forget, weapons evolve to suit the changing conditions of battle. Things such as the improvement of armor, the terrain, resources, and numerous other factors help make or break a weapon design.

RWBYverse weapons don't follow these natural evolutions and instead make all of them equal despite the numerous factors that helped them succeed or fail.

Makes you wondered how their weapons evolved in the first place...
