That's just how things go. Things esculate from the original topic to the minor detail. Some say the minor details don't matter, but in hind sight, they make up the fabric of most problems. No sense in solving a maths equation if you don't look over the entire question.

its true that something like knives would work better on smaller targets (Sorry Noobscheat, but a combat knife is no match for my Jian), but then wouldn't it have made more sense that Ren, who clearly has control of his aura to just use his aura to begin with? If the knife-guns don't work against the giant snake, then you have a completely good shockwave you can use to kill it instantly. He had the perfect moment to do so to.

Now as to the Naruto comparison, yes it is true that not everyone in the show can use ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, but they have things to balence it out. Unless you madara. Or have the rinnegan... or sharingan. But the thing with that is that they have things to balence it out. Rock Lee had no talent for using nin or genjutsu, so he spent all his time on hand to hand, but even then he can still use some chakra with his gates.

People like Nora and Ruby, who do use heavy weaponry, make up for what they lack with other abilities. Ruby is quick on her feet and can manuver around the battle field quickly, while still swinging a scythe. Nora is... ... well, how should I put... hyperactive. Kind of like patty from soul eater. Only, I recon that she is quiet well built and can take heavy blows.

Then people like Weiss who clearly lack strength, unless she is enhanced by dust, focus more on there semblance as it gives them another option of attack. Only thing with Weiss, its like have a floor that can float in mid air. Kinf of pointless when you think about it, but she gets around fine.

I think I got off topic there. Anyway, if anything, the whole thing with aura and semblance was taken out of Hunter X Hunter, where just about every Hunter has this ability and can manipulate it to what suits them best. For example: Hisoka has a weird ability to make normal cloth appear like normal skin, an ability that is very usful when you need to reattach a hand that was just cut off and make it appear like you grew another one.

Overall, the weapons suit the characters, enough said, but either they figure out that it isn't working and use their aura ability to work around the problem, or switch to another bullet type. Ruby did it in the trailer, so why don't they?
