They seemed cool when I first thought them up, but I'm not too happy with how they came out. Restrict it to dust chaneling OR dust ammo, note that when Blake loaded Gambol Shroud with dust vials it did not fire a projectile, and the design you are describing doesn't have enough internal space for both dust storage and a magazine/firing assembly.

that weapon design should be fine without multiple forms, go a little closer to Myretenaster for functionality for a chaneling weapon, and then only if the user is a mage type or for buffs if has a semblance that allows for the use of dust as a more traditional mana source rather than crystalized elemental force.

Other than that, sword is fine.

If you dislike the gauntlet, the FIRST thing you should be doing is redesigning it, not shrugging it off because you are not happy with them, either that or remove them entirely. The sword is a perfectly viable weapon of its own accord, so no need to supplement it with something else, similarly the gauntlet has a lot of potential for a controller weapon, as he would be able to ensnare grimm easily, or for a mobilty fighter by allowing them to zip around the battle field.
