It's as you said, it's an advantage of weaponry. It's NOT battle tactics. She is hiding her sword so that people have trouble determining its length. She is cheating. And that goes against every stereotypical knight code that I know.

Would be using a gun or poison be honorable to a knight? I don't think so.

She's obviously practicing double standards when it comes to settling scores, either. She doesn't seem to have a problem interrupting Kiritsugu's duel

I don't know what you are referring to. but let's say there is a term for that

And I share Kiritsugu's opinion. What if Kayneth used a command seal to force Lancer to kill Kiritsugu
