Well...a rifle anyway. And what is that shield made out of? Yeah, poor Jaune: always somebodies wall decoration.
 * Lots of things about Pyrrha. Her weapon turning into a shotgun--was not expecting that at all. PyrrhaXJaune seems to be running all systems nominal (at least from her perspective), and I have a feeling her nailing Jaune to the wall (or a tree) with her spear is going to turn into a running gag.

Yep, saw that coming. I don't know if Weiss has ever fought actual monsters before so she's probably scared/nervous/doesn't know what to expect: too much formal training, too little field experience.
 * Weiss: Damn, girl. You done got in over your head now. I wasn't surprised at all she ended up with Ruby. But I am surprised at how quickly Weiss missed her when she ran off.

No worries, this is Ruby's turf. Maybe she'll pluck a horn off of one as a souvenir while Weiss is standing there trembling.

I bet she did that to get ahead of everyone else. Too bad Blake is a kunoichi and is already waiting at the temple for someone to arrive. Turns out, you actually need two people to grab a relic.
 * So Yang can fly...

So perhaps they weren't destroyed per se, just driven off to remote locations.
 * Ok, so it turns out there were actual Grim monsters in the forest. This changes some things, both about the nature of the initiation, and the Grim themselves.
