Yes, you can place more dust in one arrow than in bullet, I’m not saying I dislike weapons that use arrows or bolts, I have a bow and crossbow weapon of my own to prove it.

The weapon type is not the problem; the problem is that it was given to an assassin type character, making that character  infinitely easier to track because every OTHER assassin will uses bullets because, as a reminder, almost every weapon in RWBY is a GUN.
