Um... sort of? Kind of depends on the quantity and type.
[She digs around in her hip-pouch, pulling a clip out, and then singling out a bullet and unscrewing part of the casing, emptying out a red crystalline powder into her hand.]
This is fire dust. When fired, the dust ignites, increasing the speed that the bullet is fired at.
[She busies herself with scooping the stuff back into the bullet as she talks.]
Dust can be used for all sorts of things, and most commonly, is used to draw out a person's semblence. Like... the manifestation of a person's soul or... something.
[Once the bullet is replaced, she sets her eyes on the hammer, and starts flitting around it at rather impressive speed, trying to examine it from all sides with eyes the size of dinner plates.]
Interesting. I might have to get some to put into one of my weapons.
[He smiles as she looks over the weapon, mission accomplished on improving her mood it seems.]
I haven't shown you the best part yet. Stand back.
[He waits until she is out of range and then slams the hammer down. Metal blades lower down from the side and circle around almost like fan blades. Even from this distance Ruby would feel the air around her trying to pull her in closer. Rod wouldn't let it last that long for that to happen though. He stopped the blades and they went back into place.]
Get too close and Black Tornado will throw you into the air and throw off your defenses.
[Once the wind dies down a bit, she goes in for another up close and personal examination.]
That's so cool! I actually have a friend that uses a hammer that's also a grenade launcher. The grenades fire from the face of the hammer, and she can use the explosions to increase her mobility as well as increasing the damage she does. Kinda like me and Crescent Rose in that regard.
Yeah, it's something they teach us early on in school. With the monsters we fight, we have to be able to engage from any range, so we have to learn how to do close range and long range, and how to use them together... for instance...
[She moves and pulls Crescent Rose from it's spot in the ground, turning the weapon so that the blade faces straight up. She places her boot on the blade and pushes a button, firing a round into the ground and launching her high into the air. She proceeds to swing the scythe around, firing at certain points to keep herself aloft long after she should've come down, and when she does finally come down, she does so with the grace of a dancer, the weapon laid across her shoulders.]

[He certainly wouldn't mind putting that into some of his weapons.]
Though I do have my own pride and joy. She's a water craft though so unless there's a body of water around here I couldn't show her to you.
I guess I should show you one of my weapons at least though.
[With that he digs around and brings out a hammer whose blunt end is almost taller than Ruby herself.]
This is Black Tornado.

I admit I don't know a lot about projectile weapons though. My old man was a pretty famous swordsman so I know more about melee combat.
I did make a weapon that could shoot pressurized spheres of water, but I found out pretty quickly it wasn't exactly practical.
[Meaning he got the snot kicked out of him by a friend about five times.]

That was amazing! I might have to make something new before I face off against you.
[Honestly he's happy to have someone to challenge him. Both in fighting and blacksmithing.]
no subject
Thanks. My uncle taught me how to do stuff like that. Before he gave me private lessons, I was so klutzy I could barely manage a normal sword.
no subject
[He shrugs.]
I will be interested to see if I can make something to match against your Crescent Rose.
