You are absolutely right, though there is an in show logic to it. These are the final product Drivers. The functionality of these belt should be identical and the different suits are just cosmetic. A bow with great range that can double as a melee weapon would be very useful after the apocalypse. Thus that is the weapon that is uniformed.

That said, it doesn't make it any less lame that 6 unique characters have the same weapon regardless of the reasons. These characters are awesome and they deserve equally awesome weapons.

I actually think a longsword and shield combo, like KR Mars, would suit Duke's knight theme and Ryouma's character best. And Duke is the one set of powers that really has to fit it's user to make any logical sense, since Ryouma directly designed the suit for himself.

I agree that it doesn't fit Duke. How about a halberd (or some other pole axe) for Duke? I can see Duke wanting some range to keep himself distant in close combat.
