I attempted to find an example image but was unable to do so, however i recall the one time I played the game, on a new profile, the first weapon i had (either a bone or metal greatsword i believe, in monster hunter tri) it collapsed partially when stored, with no logical reason technology or magic wise to explain how. Which makes pretty much zero sense in a world where magic is, seemingly, exceedingly rare,and technology is barely past the stone age. 1-If it makes you happy...gunlances as a whole don't last long, especially the first few. A few shell shots or a single wyvern fire and bam, the sharpness is down to yellow/red. The only reason they don't break is because it wouldn't be fun if weapons broke.

2-I know that the first Switch Axe, does use folding frame technology. The first weapons are the sword and shield, which doesn't use any. The greatsword, which also doesn't collapse in any way (actually, NO greatsword in any MH game has done so). And the lance, which doesn't either. The only weapon that does anything like that in MH Tri, is the Switch Axe.

Try looking for Switch Axe, is pretty much the same thing as Qrow's weapon, and fits your description.

3-The tech in MH is 100% Schizo Tech, 0% magic. Anything magical is actually scientific. How can a weapon cause fire damage? It's made with the parts monsters use to breathe fire.
