<p>Maybe she fuses them when she summons them? As far as we know, she may be summoning two weapons of each at the same time. I'm drawn to either Kunai or Shuriken for Sapphire (you need speed and accuracy to fire those, learned the hard way) and brass knuckles for Ruby (the stronger the hand, the more effective the weapon), mainly because both can merge into a gauntlet. Also, we have to remember A) The Crystal Gems wield Medieval weapons, possibly to state they haven't advanced as fast as the Homeworld Gems and B) The gauntlet is more of a full metal hand, so maybe the elements that form them are more metal and less cloth. </p>

They can't have a gauntlet each because garnets gauntlets get reformed when she does so she must have to fuse the weapons instantly

Ruby has a guantlet for a weapon can manipulate fire like lapis manipulates water btw this i confirmed

<div class="quote"><i> <p>GemStoneProphet wrote: Well, I think the most possible weapon theory is the one that they both have gauntlets but only one. All of the Fusion Weapon that was televised, Garnet's gauntlets can be formed by the just.. well.. some kind of normal weapon summoning, while other fusion weapons needs to touch each other. Just like Opal's bow, Opan both summoned the whip and the spear then she quickly moved the two weapons in a manner of intersection. And for Sugilite, she first summons the gauntlets that touches each other and then the whip is summoned to grasp the combined gauntlets. </p><p>Well one of the best opposition about my statement is maybe because she's so used on being a fusion that she literally acts as a normal and unfused gem. But Gem Fusion can become that? Well just imagine Sugilite summoning that gigantic flail for its gem, or where Gem would she even get it? Amethyst's? Sapphire's? Ruby's? </p><p>And if my statement helps it... What will happen if the gauntlets literally fuses each other? </p> </i></div>
<p>She can summon the gauntlet separately, but when they stick together, they can be a rocket(or a powerful gun that can hit a range things.) </p>

I feel like Ruby's weapon is a Boxing type glove

<p>Kay, so I typed out a huge response and pressed reply, only to find I wasn't signed in... I guess this is my chance to simplify it. Spoiler alert: I don't. </p><p>Basically, I admired how long this discussion is (I read almost to the bottom), then went on to speculate on Garnet, if her weapon summoning means something, and what I theorize on Ruby and Sapphire.  </p><p>First off, I'm pretty certain that all the inconsistencies we find with Garnet are just a result of a near perfect fusion. I think that the other fusions summoning their weapons seperately, then combining them are simply for ease of acces (and possibly style). I mean, would it not be difficult for Opal to comfortably pull her bow out, or Sardonyx to heft that giant hammer of hers out of one little gem? Even Amethyst and Pearl have to summon their weapons at a certain angle. In Garnet's (and technically Jasper's) case, the weapon is on a surface it can sort of "hug" and surround, making it easier to summon as one. </p><p>Futhermore, I'd just like to state that I'm not so sure of the Sapphire-has-one-eye thing. It's perfectly plausible, but I think it is a result of how well she and Ruby match up as well. Garnet = 1 extra eye, so very stable. Rainbow Quartz = four eyes, but no extra limbs, so fairly stable. Sugilite = 5? eyes and four arms, so not very stable. Alexandrite = 6 arms, two... faces?, and unknown number of eyes (and huge), so even less so than Sugilite. Then Malichite, who has four eyes, six arms (feet?), and two whole torsos, and we've seen how bad that is. However, I guess we are still considering that fusions like Alexandrite consist of four gems, so perosnalities are more likely to clash, but that's what I think there. </p><p>Now, back to what started all this until some people, including myself, decided to bring other fusions into the story (which is perfectly fine). I think Ruby has some sort of powerful melee weapon. If we're holding to the personality-type = weapon-type thing, Sapphire doesn't really strike me as someone who would weild anything, considering her nicer nature. Thus, I think she possesses more of the skills and abilities like super speed, electricity, and possibly future vision, but no physical weapon she has to summon. With the glasses/shades thing, I like to think it's more Sapphire not wanting to show her eyes, but Ruby keeps her hair out of her face, so they compromise by adjusting the outfit like in Beach Party, not creating something new like a weapon, or pulling it out of some other dimension like Pearl and her forehead storage unit, or Lion. </p><p>Dang... how on earth did that end up longer than the one I lost?! Oh well, I still probably forgot to say something, but I'll stop talking now. I am a boring person. :I </p><p>EDIT: Plz ignore all grammar mistakes. </p><p>EDIT 2: And so our questions are answerd... half of them... </p>

Confirmed that Ruby has a gauntlet looks pretty much the same as Garnet's gauntlet.

Sapphire's weapon is most likely a gauntlet as well due to this.

It doesn't look like a gauntlet in my opinion.
