2-Scythes are also classified as Long Swords in MH.

3-If converted right, they can be used in RWBY, but I want to know how you plan to convert them. 1-Yes, I'm absolutely sure Iron and Gunpowder don't exist in Remnant.

Besides that, there's the thing: The materials each weapon is made of depend 100% on the specific weapon, not the weapon type. For example, the Yukumo Gunlance uses Iron and Yukumo Wood, while the Bone Gunlance uses Iron and some Bones, and the Striker Gunlance uses Iron, Gunpowder and Machalite Ore.

And that's just some of the Gunlances available in the most early game. Materials vary far more afterwards. Forget about Iron after getting a Rank-2 weapon.

Overall, materials are super relative, and completely unimportant when it comes to transferring a MH weapon from MH to RWBY. In Remnant they would simply be made out of Remnantese materials instead of monster parts.

2-Only for gameplay reasons. Before the Insect Glaive, Longswords's moveset was the one a scythe could fit the most believably. A scythe couldn't work with any other weapon's moveset.

And after the Insect Glaive some scythes remained LS because there's no need to switch them to IG.

3-....By focusing on the actual weapon and not the materials, for starters? Like me and others have done for practically ages? Right in your face, even?
