Ok, I think I might be seeing the problem here. You have already said twice that my gun has the strength of several TnT sticks or whatever. THAT is a gross exaggeration. VV does NOT have that sort of power. VV produces a powerful shockwave, but not one that could push a person several yards away. I mean like maybe knocked off their feet, or sent back about 1 to 3 feet or something. Let me try to use another RWBY example. In the Red trailer, several times when Ruby shot a beowolf with her sniper gun, the grimm would be knocked down. The rifle form of VV is capable of that. When in shotgun, VV can still knock down enemies, but at a much less distance and with less power because the barrels that shoot the dust blasts aren't as concentrated.
