Is this idea for a kagune any good?

R.C. Type: Koukaku

Owner: The Huntsman Ghoul. It is the alias for the primary antagonist of a Tokyo Ghoul fanfic that I once thought about (althought the story does not take place in Tokyo).

Described Shape: The kagune is shaped similar to an atlatl. Located on the upper portion of the Huntsman's arm (the bicep and tricep portion), the base of the kagune is shaped similar to a heater shield. The kagune then shapes into a javelin spear and extends past the rest of the Huntsman's arm, ending about a foot or two past the Huntsman's hand.

Organic Color: Greenish-Blue

Unique Capabilities: While the Huntsman's kagune is a koukaku, it can function similar to that of an ukaku by firing the javelin portion of the kagune. While it is only one shot, compared to an ukaku's "spray and pray" the projectile is extremely fast, very accurate, and very powerful, capable of exploding on impact and easily killing a ghoul if hit by the projectile. The javelin portion can also be deatched and used as a spear for melee fighting or throwing, but will become brittle after several minutes of being deatched from its base. The javelins can also be shaped to either form blades or barbed harpoons.

Pros: Powerful ranged capabilities (pinpoint accuracy and speed), along with good melee capabilities. It's light weight and size allows the Huntsman to move and strike faster than standard koukaku users.

Cons: Creating and throwing javelins takes up a significant number of RC cells. The Huntsman can only create around eight javelins before he/she becomes fatigued (except when he/she is in a kakuja state). As the result, the Huntsman ghoul prefers to use human weapons, like firearms, when dealing with humans, only using his/her kagune as a last result. Because of its size, the Huntsman's kagune is not suitable for protecting himself/herself from an ukaku barrage, and will have to result to doding so that he/she won't become a pin cushion.

Kakuhou number: 3

RC Cell Number: 5,000+

Possible Version Evolution: Full, armored kakuja. The kakuja is shaped similar to a centuar, standing about fifteen feet in height and about twenty to twenty-five feet in length. The kakuja has four arms. The outer arms form in shields, each one containing eight javelins that surround the shields. In this state, the Huntsman can fire a volley of those javelins. However, the javelins are even larger and more powerful, easily capable of piercing and destroying armored vehicles. The inner arms will each form a javelin, used mainly for melee combat. Full kakuja is only used as a last result.

Notes and Trivia: The Huntsman ghoul has earned its nickname due to its style of killing investigatos and its unusual style of hunting. It will usually take a piece of human flesh or blood and place it in a relatively closed off location, using it as bait to lure unsuspected ghouls. Once that happens, off in a distance, the Huntsman will fire it's kagune, sniping the ghoul before it can even react. After that, the Huntsman will quickly take the human flesh and the ghoul for consumption.

When dealing with investigators and other humans, the Huntsman prefers to engage them with firearms. The Huntsman typically uses a Remington 700, 308 caliber, bolt action rifle and snipes the humans.
