To be fair the only weapon that works directly with Semblance is Myrtenaster, but that's more due to Myrtenaster and Weiss' glyphs using the same dust variants. Ruby's speed, Yang's fire, Blake's shadow clones and Pyrrha's magnetism would likely work regardless of what weapon they were using (provided Pyrrha's weapon had a magnetic material in it and Yang was using a plastic batlte axe).

What about someone with bow and arrows (using dust to tip the arrows accordingly) who had a semblance that allowed him to emit a shockwave of energy propelling any objects away from him. He could use it to propel the arrow at insane speeds with a massive amount of force (possibly allowing it to penetrate certain objects and certainly improvinghis bow range since it would drastically change the arc trajectory.

The amplification semblance I detailed above could be retro-fitted to work with dust though that would exactly be the weapon itself. Would be interesting though to see Weiss use something akin to Grand Glicel (not sure if you've ever played Dragon's Dogma so if you understand it you understand, if not it's not exactly important anyways).

You could make a few mage weapons by crossing a staff with a more appropriate melee weapon (hammer/mace/spear comes to mind) and have the person's assemblance being able to channel dust giving her the ability to use her Staff Hammer as either a powerful catalyst for spell casting or enchant the hammer end and whack stuff with electricity Thor style.
