  • From the time our first ancestor picked up a stick, our species has been developing new and interesting weapons. So how would the weapons of RWBY work (or not work) if they were to be constructed in reality?

    I used to love how in RWBY you could tell a bit about the user by looking at their weapon
    Ruby's death motif
    Weiss as a thin precise noble
    Blake was originally supposed to be a scavenger hence why gamble shroud looks cobbled together
    Yangs and Noras brute force
    Jaune's sword being so basic it looked like he didn't belong

    Very good video.
    I was thinking of making a video about the weapons of RWBY myself but you pretty much said what I had to say.
    Yeah, RWBY's weapons are impractical but it's a fictional fantasy world.
    If you want everyone to be super smart and practical, characters like Ruby would just use pistols and machine guns from a distance, use her semblance to run away and do that all over again. And I think variety is what this show really likes to go for.
    Sun with his Gunchoks is cool on screen.
    Just something I would never attempt in real life.

    I'd bet with the weight, Crescent Rose would still kill instantly even if you hit with the shaft.
    And in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle (I know, reaching) she does strike with the weird spiky pommel thing.
    I can spot a massive problem with the weapon. You would Krumlauf the sniper rifle very fast because the shaft of the scythe is the barrel of the rifle. No matter how thick the barrel is, it being the shaft of a scythe will result in getting bent.

    • @pugnippelz69
      @pugnippelz69 6 месяцев назад +1

      I can think of one way to improve Myrtenaster. Instead of a break action, use a reload mechanism like a Colt Peacemaker, that way the tang can rest at the center. The break action reload is the only major issue I can find. Albeit, it's a massive one for a sword.

    12:43 a reverse gripe works well enough with smaller blades like storm flowers daggers so that’s fine my issue is that with how they’re just attached to the otherwise normal guns which would make any stabbing maneuvers possible.
    It would’ve been better if the dagger section pointed outward like a pair of bayonets which would actually compliment rens perpetuity for slashing moves and would combo well with the guns.
    I’ve seen them work in only one context the blades acting as a secondary close quarters tool where the guns + hand to hand provide offense.

  • @xXx_T0M_xXx
    @xXx_T0M_xXx Месяц назад

    There actually are a few guns that can switch between semi-automatic and pump action. The most notable being the Spas-12 and Benelli M3, but these only do this because they're designed for law enforcement and non-lethal rounds don't have enough force to reliably cycle the gun. I've never heard of a semi-automatic/bolt action hybrid firearm though.

    @jag_rex2412 10 месяцев назад +1

    You are probably one of the few people who actually do Rwby weapon Justice, but I like to say that Yang's weapons are the most effective and realistic, people tend to forget that the gun glove was actually a real weapon in WWII and while some shotgun blast can definitely hurt you with enough time or the right caliber rounds this isn't too big of an issue, the old model for Yang's weapons back in the first three volumes had a small trigger on her pointing finger that she could pull unfortunately newer seasons have completely forgotten that but Inspire that it would probably work the best in real life out of all the weapons in the show because it has been done before the real issue is getting used to the weapon and that could be done with time.
    Oh and one more thing does Micro missiles aren't actually micro missiles they are apparently modified slugs.

  • @dr.thybies

    I would beg to differ on one point only. Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang (Sun's nunchucks / Bô) aren't weak compared to a flail. Yeah, maybe they're smooth compared to an actual flail but also, they are shotgun and let me tell you... shotguns are not light. A shotgun weighs, in average, about 6 to 8 pounds (2.5 to 3.5 kilograms approximately) not including the ammos inside it. (Considering Sun's weapon is made out of 4 shotguns, that's about 24 to 32 pounds or 10 to 14 kilograms). And even if Sun's weapon was even lighter, the whole thing about Sun is his agility. It's not about how powerful you want the hit to be, it's about how many hits you can deal in a second.

    also. even if it Could fire. when its planted in the ground like in the Qrow v T fight. her scythe would fail after about 6 shots from recoil. her scythes pivot points are weak spots that would be put under so much pressure they would snap
    we see this spinning in the Red trailer and Episode 3 of Volume 7.
