RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

SV Handle=Dagger combined with dual wielded sawed off shotguns.

I... am not sure of the ergonomics of such a thing. Am I going to have short bayonets stuck on a short gun? Or do I mount the daggers so that I can use the recoil from the shotgun firing to slam them into people's faces? Or is it just a dagger that inexplicably turns into a shotgun a la Coco's weapon? Can I just have shotguns that fire daggers?

It'd make a lot more sense if it was two daggers that turned into one sawed off shotgun when you stuck them back into their sheaths, with the hilts turning into gun barrels and the sheaths being the handle. I suppose you could also do that separately, after all they didn't say it has to be a double barreled shotgun.

Could be something similar to Emerald's weapons.

A bit of a stretch, but it's the closest so far.
 
First Name: a rope dart combined with dual-wield submachine guns (SMG)

I just pictured a pair of single barrel sawed-off shotguns with bayonets.

As for me, I'm trying to figure out how a lance/LMG would even work. A lance/minigun I could picture pretty easily: just have the barrels wrapped around the lance itself, and the haft folds and bends to form the grip.

One end is pointy, the other end is gun. The fiddly bits are somewhere in between.
 
I'd just like to point out. My full name is a Spear+Rocket Launcher.

It is my headcanon that said rocket can be deployed for jousting because that is amazing and justifies the existence of this weapon. Would probably pair it with a shield if I could, no particular reason for that other then rule of cool X2

Actually, what weapon would you guys take from your list and how would you use it anyhow?
 
Full Name: Halbred/Semi-automatic Sniper Rifle
Halbreds are pretty sweet. I imagine the weapon would look like Ruby's except it's a Halbred.

First Name: Cutlass/Grenade Launcher
So it's a gunblade. Going to be an ergonomic nightmare, but... okay.

Username: Gauntlets/Pistols
So I'm a Yang wannabe? Alright.

Chinese Name: Talwar/Grenade Launcher
What is it with this generator and grenade launcher-swords? I don't want grenade-launcher swords!
 
Forum name: A scythe combined with a bolt action sniper rifle. (Oooooookaaaayyyy.... o_O)

First: A shiv combined with a pump-action shotgun. (A shotgun with a bayonet?)
Middle: A scythe combined with a submachine gun (SMG). (A variant on the forum name one...)
Last: A bullwhip combined with dual-wield pistols. (Okay, I'm not even sure how THIS will work, two pistols attached at the butts by a bungie cord?)
Full: A scimitar combined with a carbine. (Wow...something not totally crazy...)

Isn't Crescent Rose a Bolt Action? :confused:

Because for a moment, I thought it was a gas-operated rifle.

Isn't that a bit redundant?
Nope:


Anyway:

Full IRL Name: Keyblade + Rocket Launcher (Will it be something like the M79 "Bloop Gun"?)
IRL First Name: Trident + Sniper Rifle (A Sniper Rifle with poorly-placed bayonets then)
IRL Last Name: Nunchucks + SMGs (... What.)
Forum Handle: Warhammer + Assault Rifle

I'd probably pick the second or the last. :confused:
 
I'm pretty sure it's a bolt-action Scythe-Sniper Rifle...IIRC, there are times where she yanks back the handle after a shot to reload...
The Red Trailer hints as much, I think.

I just... got it into my head that Crescent Rose operated on a gas-blowback mechanism for some reason. :oops:
 
Doesn't Ruby explicitly state what type of gun it is when she talks to Juane in Season One?
 
It's the best homage to Monty that they can do.

Damn straight.
So, apparently there's going to be a fight with Yang involved, and she'll be intending to teach someone a "well-deserved lesson." Rematch with Neo? The long-anticipated fight with Mercury after finding out he and Emerald killed Tucson? Angry confrontation with Raven?
