I wonder if this weapon design is influenced by her Semblance. Specifically, if we consider Newton's third law, the explosive punches will also deal considerable damage to herself. If her Semblance can absorb power from the kickback, however, it would be a plus.

Furthermore, I'm not entirely sure when the shot is fired, on or immediately after the punch contact. If it's on contact, it would be one stronger attack but would likely waste some damage potential due to the recoil/explosion canceling some of the momentum of the punch; whereas the latter would yield two weaker strikes.

Explosive punches are cool, but it's neither practical nor really effective normally.
