And how does Ruby factor in this? At the end of the day all she has is an overcomplicated musket, you have a deathtrap that few to no people would have any idea how to hold, let alone use.

So what do you want me to do? RWBY characters don't fix their weapons at all unless they get broken. The weapon itself is based on old weaponry, so it can always be improved. Leonardo da Vinci designed them after all, so they would be dangerous. I don't see any problem with using a deathtrap, these kids use dangerous weapons anyways. And what about the handbag minigun?
