Now, quick questions about another weapon I'm working on. I was thinking about weapon ideas for my fox faunus character, whose name is still undecided, and I'm considering giving her a Jitte . Jitte were unbladed and lacked sharpened points so they're used to hit joints and pressure points. Now, I looked it up, and and animals do have pressure points, but do Grimm (I know we have no way of knowing for sure; what do you think)? And whether they do or don't, I have very little to work with if I'm going to turn them into weapons (by which I mean I can't turn them each into Submachine guns), so I'm thinking about turning one Jitte into a gun with Ironwood's-gun-level stopping power and turning the other into a machine pistol (those do exist, btw). Is that a good idea, should I go with something else, or do you guys have a better idea for a firearm form, assuming I use jitte in the first place? I am suddenly reminded of Nolan's cattle prod. I think your idea could work, and if you add a bit of dust infusion along the barrel/main striking part, it becomes viable as a short club too. I'm definitely considering it; especially seeing as how Jitte have stopping power, not killing power. They can't exactly kill Grimm by themselves, unless we assume Grimm have a windpipe to be broken by these things. I was thinking about Dust channeling, the ability to combine the two (the Kagi or hooked part folds into the straight bar and attaches to the base of the other as an extended handle), and some Solid-light blades in later forms, maybe.

The idea is starting to grow on me, though I want to ask; if Huntsmen and Huntresses feel the pain of strikes even if they have Aura, would using Pressure Points still be effective?
