Yang and Blake would have a problem with long-range weaponry in an open space, but otherwise are able to handle being separated from the team. Neither of them would need to further supplement their weaponry, but I believe both Weiss and Ruby would need some effective close-range armaments. That's an important point, which I've tried to make myself. They have to be able to be flexible enough to take on most situations in the event of being seperated, or things such as a more suitable teammate being stuck in a fight and unable to disengage to deal with whatever's come up. I've had the impression that Huntsmen and Huntresses are few in number, so they probably have to operate in ones and twos to provide sufficient coverage. This probably also means that Beacon's staff is likely composed of older Hunters and those who would be less missed from field duty than more lethal warriors. And considering what we've seen the Professors pull off, the elite Hunters must be persons of mass destruction. Ozpin's status as one of these is debatable in my opinion, since being Headmaster at Beacon, and possibly in charge of the Kingdom's Hunter Corps, would require more talent as a spymaster and diplomat than lethality, even if the position is held by an experienced veteran.
