User blog comment:BenRG/New Teaser Pic From Monty/@comment-3146930-20140324033813

Just to comment on your Edited section, I don't see that happening. It is only half of the first season after all so I don't see a weapon upgrade happening anytime soon, let alone a complete weapon replacement. Not to mention that other Hunters we have seen don't seem to have parted with their weapons, even if they are no longer full-time Hunters anymore. At best, I can see the school being attacked during lunch break or class and Weiss is forced to grab a weapon to defend herself until she is able to get to her locker and retrieve her real weapon. The same could be said for the other students as well. At worst, this could just be Weiss holding an old fashioned sword and commenting on how she can't understand how anyone could have used such a primitive weapon.
