Well, if we take into consideration that Remnant isn't Earth, it's quite possible that legal age is lower. In our world, in middle ages (and present, in less developed, war-torn countries) people were growing up mentally much faster (kind of, since the "adult" level was lower), so legal age was pretty much after menarche (is that right term? Non-native english here).

While I believe that current Remnant IS more devenloped than that, constant threat from grimm might have an effect on how fast people grow up.

It's also worthy noticing, that Ruby mentioned making her scythe at Signal (and she was capable of using it in ep 1), therefore legal age for possesing weapons seems to be way under 15.

Regarding constantly quoted walls of text:

1 - I was asking myself why he didn't know about it since Vol 1. My best guess is either bad writing, or, since his talk with Pyrra in "Destiny", that his family didn't told him on purpose. They seem like d**** based on this talk.

2 - Power levels seems quite inconsistent in Yang's case for me too. I think that concrete < roof can be pulled of by saying that Neo put aura in her attacks, or that they were "soft style" (like blunt damage for steel armor), or something. We don't know how aura forcefield works against energy and kinetic force, so I'll wait with that one.

3 - Most things were stated, I'll only add that Emerald stated at the end of ep 7 that using her power against 2 people at once is hard. I assume that the same applies to using it for long periots of time / often, and she used her power a lot in previous fight (and was hit most often). We don't know if (not to mention how much) "power stealing bug" (and being injected with magic) affected Cinder, especially since it was interrupted.

4 - Well, first he was concentrated on her hand, then he was attacking Emerald & Mercury (that were behind him, And when he looks at Cinder, she is already obscured by illusion (you can't see her face). Also by power of deduction: 1. Mercury saw Qrow. 2. We aren't under attack. From that we know that Qrow didn't knew YET that they were there. Emerald says about using her power at TWO minds at once, therfore I think she was using it at Qrow, So he didn't notice who they are.

5&6 - Both scenes seems pretty legit for me.

7 - To little information to make a frim decision, but it was stated that the stadium was made by cutting edge technology. Remember that transitions take time. There are many countries in world where you can still see horse carriage, regardless of how advanced it is. If travel is dangerous (some grimm can fly), common people will prefer being in safe zones, therefore worldwide transportation isn't in high demand. Add to it that flying machines take more place / compared to cargo load (and possibly higher Dust consuption), and you will find it pretty solid.

If anything, problem is in Vol 1, ep 1: From one point dust shops exists, so people are buying it, with makes sense, since technology is based on it, but why is Roman stealing it? If it's price is high, you wouldn't be able to buy it in pretty much corner store. If it's cheap, stealing money and BUYING it later is far better idea: It doesn't give hits to your plans, you can steal from everywhere to further throw of eventual pursuit, not to mention it's easier to escape with it.

Also, I don't think Cinder motives are all out. It seems that there is something personal beside "destroy humanity (and faunus)" to her. Salem is pretty unclear too (and will remain so until Vol 4). I'm not sure anthing can be said about Junior and his sidekicks. As for the rest:

Emerald - I hate those dependant on X (Cinder in this case) people.

Adam - I liked him before his fight with Blake. I can accept going far for your belives, but I hate his obssesion on her. Especially that " I'll kill everyone you hold dear" part.

Cinder? / Neo - Based on what we seen so far, only thing I dislike about Cinder is that she belives she is better suited to have power, just because she has some "great plans" to use it. Neo is too passive, hard to say anything about her.

Mercury - I like him and his laid back attitude. As long as he doesn't turn out to be a hipocryte, who can kill others, but doesn't accepts it can happen to him as well, he might turn out to be one of my favs.

Roman - It's like someone took best parts of Joker and toned it down. Great character that will be missed.

Oh, and Cardin is too much of small fry to be considered as villan. ( But someone please, KILL HIM WITH FIRE!!!)
