Someone else already explain why arrows do not work for crossbow bolts so i'll skip that

your entire weapon concept is horribly skewed from sensible and doesn't even fit RoC because it is stupid.

the energy sword blade shape is, quite posibly, the WORST one you could choose for a bow, they are oddly shaped, thick, and have a straight inner edge.

Why in the hell are you using wood for a sword when metal alloys exist that are so much more effective?

Aura string only if they have a semblance to enable it.

Overall: this weapon is fail, try to think out the design to be less uselessly overcomplex. Ah yes, that explains why Ren, who is not a brawler, was able to deal more damage with his punch than his guns :^) I'm sure you'll make up some excuse like oh, he used aura, thats why.

RoC? Sorry, not everybody has lived on this forum every hour like you so stop using acronyms when its apparent I don't have as much experience as the rest of the veterans :)

Sure metal alloys are fine with me, I don't have much experience with weapon design as you so I'll assume that this metal alloy can bend when drawn back. As for the blades, the blades would be that of a curved blade similar to a bow? What were you thinking? That I'd straight up copy the energy sword design? The only part I want from it is the blade arms attached to each end of the handle. As for the arrow shattering when released from a crossbow, thats only if you apply a narrowminded view on crossbows.

It is quite possible it seems to have a crossbow that fires arrows. You think they only fire bolts because thats what crossbows in the past did. Seems in modern times that crossbows can fire arrows so your knowledge on the subject is fail.

Your inability to think outside the box is mind boggling. Its a fictional universe, where all weapon designs do not need a thorough explanation. Stop stifling weapon designs by applying our world's laws in RWBY, its pathetic. Your pretentious and galling tone makes me question whether or not you're the child (of course your excuse is probably that its the internet and that you can talk however you want). What kind of adult calls someone a kid? Only a manchild or immature twat uses that as an insult. Fail? Ok sure, its a weapon design that you are unable to wrap your head around. Almost like shotgun gauntlets or a scythe sniper. Anyway thats enough of me ranting, just thinking about what you say gives me a headache.
