Sounds a bit like the Wizard of Oz (the real one from the stories, that is). The Wizard was an engineering/inventor genius, but did learn how to wield real magic and became the second most powerful magic user in Oz after Glinda herself. However, even with all that magic, he still preferred to find (weird) engineering solutions to problems, even when the problem was magic.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
You'll feel bad but laugh anyway.

Am I supposed to feel bad? 
Thank you, Monty Oum.
Also laughed without iotas of guilt
I don't get it. It's old imposter => only thing they would know => shoot scenario. Where is the joke?
Thank you, Monty Oum.
Same thing happened again.

I mean that imposter didn't even look like Blake.
No, the other one.
That was the crappy joke that it was. Basically.

Maybe for me, it was simply Blake getting shot that made me laugh.
Ice Queen
The joke was Ruby willing to use such a piddly gun.
Working on a manga. With pictures! All feedback welcome!
Ooooh, so Blake was disguised as her imposter and Ruby shot her thinking she was imposter. Ha, ha, yes, very funny.

Thank you, Monty Oum.
...all right, I can't argue with that logic.
LEGENDARY GALE
I laughed. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
but HOW?
Truly it is a perfect match.

A latest edit on this series' awesome moments page reminded me:
Jaune forging the transcripts.
Like, did he forge it so well that it fooled the admission officers...or did someone like Ozpin saw through it but allowed him to enter anyway because s/he saw his potential or for the lulz?
It's a irrelevant topic by now, with Jaune proving himself worthy of being in the academy, but I'm still curious about that one. My guess is the latter.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.
Somehow I doubt that's even going to be addressed at this point.
Not to slam Miles & Kerry (or whoever the lead writers are now), I just don't see that subplot going anywhere. We've got:
- Jaune's seven sisters.
- Ren and Nora's Mysterious Village of Mysteriousness
- Ruby's dead mom
- Yang's missing mom
- Everybody else's thus-unseen parents
- Cardin's team redeeming themselves
- Blake and Adam's past
- Cinder's motive
- Emerald's connection to Cinder
- Several undisclosed Semblances (just like Bleach)
- The enigma that is Haven Academy, and why Sun transferred
- Introducing Sun's team
- Jaune's Semblance
- Raven
- Raven
- What Torchwick's about.
- What Ironwood's about...
...you see where I'm going with this.

I'm positive that Ozpin or another higher-up wasn't fooled, but wanted to give him a shot anyway.

Yea I think its pretty safe bet that its not going to be bought up until much later in the series.
On the topic of Jaunes sisters.I find it funny that the fandom as accepted them as badass huntresses dis spite the fact that they havennt even appered on screen yet.:P

Thank you, Monty Oum.
Well, in RWBY, it's entirely probable any given character is a huge ass-kicker.
Plus, of course, it'd make Jaune look worse, which is naturally funny.

I think I realized Blake's character arc.
Remember when she called herself a coward in Mountain Glenn during the campfire scene? I know it wasn't included, but her inaction when Velvet was bullied (although that applies to everyone involved) could've been seen as her "running" away from the chance of being found out by someone that she's a Faunus (especially since Weiss didn't know at the time).
Essentially, Blake's shtick is that she wants to be a hero, but every time she has a chance at it, she doesn't take it because she's a coward, and she hates herself for it. She's probably the most self-critical character in the series, honestly. The one time she tried to be proactive was when she became an obsessive insomniac, which only ended because Yang did not approve.
In Mountain Glenn, she basically admitted that she has no idea how to be a hero. Has that changed for her since then, or does she still need work? She beat Roman, and had a chance to kill him, but didn't because she preferred to save Weiss from the Lieutenant.

In RWBY, every girl is Best Girl.
At the very least I can say that the amount of times he was mentioned, i can count on one hand.
