In my defense, I don't know that much about real-world jorogumo culture (remember, my affiliate is a jorogumo in real life. I'm a magnet for the supernatural) so I based it on what I did know.
Also, the "different species of Changeling" thing is a universal with me & my friend's portrayals of ponyverse versions of mythological shapeshifting species. For example, bakenekos in our shared ficverse have a felinoid physiology (as opposed to insectoid), paws instead of hooves, cat-like tails, & bat wings. Most of the "anatomy/abilities" thing is based on the actual legends & (again) real life. She does have some weaknesses (unable to use her pyrokinesis when she has less than a certain amount of body fat in her, her telepathy can be blocked with the right spells or materials, can't move when molting, bug-spray type chemicals severely weaken her, she has a paralyzingly fear of scorpions)
Also, the character looks a lot different than portrayed here. I was just trying to get as close as possible to my vision in regards to what Pony maker would allow.
As far as the weapons go, if you think about it, guns exist in this world. A few usages of bullet-related euphemisms make that obvious. Additionally, considering that Rainbow compared her tortoise to a tank (resulting in his name), modern military tech exists in this world. Considering the magic in this world, they probably have military equipment that functions like the Team Fortress weapons in regards to unique abilities.
For all we know, this world might have modern technology. It's just that certain places have access to more recent technology than others.
