If it was a rapier (which I doubt), then yes, that makes sense. Personally, though, I pictured a bastard sword named either "Frostbite" or "Mirror Shard". I don't know why, it was just the image I got when we got on this topic. hmm, perhaps, but I always thought that, since it's not a gun weapon, it's a little older, and since a young Weiss could not pick up Myrtenaster, then Mr. Schnee would teach her how to use a sword while still using Myrtenaster

I see what you mean, but I just feel like the revolving Dust chamber makes it really the most advanced of the four RWBY weapons, even though it doesn't have a gun function.
