Gambol Shroud (Blake's Weapon) would never work, because the whole recoil-whip-sword thing is completely insane. I like it, but it's insane. Weiss's weapon wouldn't work because Dust isn't real, and although Cresent Rose seems possible (and I say possible with emphasis), It's also incredibly impractical. In it's sniper mode, Ruby chambers the round near the front, meaning the gun actually has a short barrel and would be quite innaccurate. It's cool that it can do that, but it would make more sense just to fully extend it every time, giving her more barrel length, thus more accuracy, and the Scythe part, which works to steady the rifle. Either way, Cresent Rose could never fold the way that it does and still be strong enough to decapitate a Nevermore. Ember Celica (Yang's guantlets) would never fold the way that they do; it's just impossible to fit shotgun shells inside of her little bracelets.

But really, these weapons are too awesome for me to care how realistic they are.
