Remember that this is animé: the normal rules about weapon weights and balances don't apply.

Crimson Rose, Ruby's Sniper Scythe, must weigh in the region of 100 pounds, the majority of that being in its blade and the mid-shaft around the receiver and firing mechanisms yet she swings it around as if it were made of foam rubber. Similarly, Magnhild is so unbalanced that Nora should have problems even lifting it.

The Rule of Cool applies here as the only significant law of physics.
