EMIYA in general, or at least in most fanon I know, had affinity with all offensive weapons. Is just that his most forte is blades (mostly sword, but anything with sharp edge, he can master). So blunt weapon, ranged weapon with no blades (guns usuallly use balls, not sharp shards or anything), magic staves, tomes etc are out. Shield and other defensive tools got the most shaft, even worse than mundane stuff and non-bladed weapons. Except maybe Avalon, which help define him in his growth.
Synopsis: A series of short Interludes Fate Episodes where Gran and Lyra bring up someone's weapon/armor of choice... then Archer tears them a new one if it's too impractical.
EDIT: One of those episodes is about the Black Knight, where Archer actually approves of her choice of armor, since her job is about getting into the thick of combat and shredding her foes.
Doesn't work. Archer can read the memories of weapons
Coiffe's Giant Scissors? Family Art
Carmelina is a Dancer so her Loop of Death makes sense. Aside from those I don't remember any unpractical weapon in Granblue

Nameless/Extra!Archer was actually a Sniper, as in with an actual sniper rifle, so he can use guns.
Also Demiya shows that EMIYA can use guns.
I think the problem comes from guns being intricate pieces, with so many moving parts that it's not reasonable to use them for the most part, at least in terms of projection.

It is less an affinity and more that he cheats by copying the skills of the original user. With Kanshou & Bakuya he had to come up with his own combat style.
Ok, so guns:
EMIYA and variants can't store guns into UBW. That's pretty much his restriction regarding them unless he's DEMIYA, which is significantly different.
Trace them? Without the cheat sheet, he needs to memorize them the hard way. Difficult, but doable. Shoot them? No Name knows how and used them (probably because guns are a whole lot less inconspicuous than swords when dealing with non-supernatural targets).
Since he used them, he's probably reasonably proficient with them, so if he wanted to, he could have a gun or two in his person. Not terribly useful, sword wounds just aren't that rare in granblue, but he could see a small piece being worth the weight for those times he's wasting a scrub and doesn't want to waste MP.
How proficient is he? Probably not Servant-level proficient, or he'd have them as included weaponry when summoned, and he can't just copy the skills of a legendary wielder, but he'd still benefit from his mundane and Servant things that make him a good archer: like a good mentality for sniping, a steady aim, being able to reinforce his eyes, or Clairvoyance.
In Granblue most characters have one (or in rare cases two) weapon proficiency and it's mostly a gameplay mechanic, since some characters who you would expect or even see using multiple different weapons, like Okto and Narumeia, only have a single proficiency. It's less about what weapons they are good at and more what weapons they mostly use ands since GBF limits them to two I would argue that Archer should get a sword and bow proficiency.

It would then end up with Gran and Lyria looking at a random party member's weapon, then Archer explaining the "hows" and "whys" of that particular weapon's design... by cheating with his supercharged Structural Analysis.
For swords anyway, like Narumeia's weapon. Weapons other than swords require him to actually cast Structural Analysis directly on the object, IIRC?
The ones with the slightly horrified expressions would be the weapon owners, as Archer would end up revealing bits and pieces of personal history that they don't remember telling him ever.

I've seen a similar deal in a different fanfic to hilarious results. (Crosswinds of Fate's prologue/side story, where Shirou gets a good look at Lorelei's swagger stick riding crop baton thing.)
He has no such limitation, as seen in Shirou vs Gilgamesh. Not even with non-weapons like Rho Aias, which Shirou copied and I don't recall him casting such a thing on the shield.

I don't know much about Granblue Fantasy, but shouldn't Rho Aias is more of directly reducing damage until certain point?
For example, reduce damage, say, until 3.000. so anything below that is 0, but 4.000 damage will only damage 1.000 toward us? With additional direct damage reduction if enemy used spear?
Unless effect like that didn't exist in GBF and/or making it unbalanced. I don't know how the damage are calculated in GBF. The only F2P mobile game I reverently play is FGO.
Nope: UBW is his final Skill and special Buff, which add bonus like hitting all enemies with his normal attacks (rain of sword) and other things. His second CA, while under UBW, is Excalibur Image.

Well, the base number is based on FGO gameplay, since FGO single attacks from an enemy tend to be multi hits, so 3000 is about average enough to stop most Mook from seriously harming the Servant, with the bosses being an exception. Since multi hit damage means the damage spread through all the hits.
But if GBF tend to just use one attack one hit like FF series where all the damage is in that one hit, I think the number should be higher?
Also, due to the legend, Rho Aias held advantage to spear type weapon.
Specifically, UBW faithfully records every "Armament" Shirou so much as glance at and shields very much are weapons, so they get recorded as well. The effect of his Origin is that the further away from the concept of Sword an item is, the heavier the cost in Prana. Sword NP cost about 2 unit of Prana to trace on average, spears are...I think it's twice that ? Thrice maybe ? Well, in any case, Rho Aias can't cost more then 10 units as it's the maximum yield of Shirou's circuits.

That's true, but while party members are categorized over what kind of weapon they wield, spears included, the enemies in GBF are not. So a weapon-related effect can only target your party members.
Nice sheet Flame: what kind of reward would you like (within reasons of course)?

Cause I certainly wouldn't mind an interlude of Gran having a dream meeting with Hakuno...or a side-story of Shirou manifesting due to a magic artifact or something.

If it's the dream; Just write how you think Gran and Hakuno(in Extella outfit ) would act, with Hakuno knowing about Archer joining Gran's crew.
If it's the Young Archer appearing; I imagine it going something akin to the crew wondering how Shirou(Naïve idiot) could actually be Archer(Pessimistic idiot )
