The suspense...!
I guess the the sniper rifle was at its last shot in the magazine? If it's a bolt-action rifle, I can understand the crippling reloading time but semi-autos usually use mags.
As for Tsurugi and Cecilia's case, the former manages to damage the latter's sniper rifle to the extent that it can no longer fire. (Though the katana suffers slight damage as well, in a form of a barely noticeable crack)
For the wing bits part:
Spoiler for Scene excerpt:
The four wing bits simultaneously open fire upon the Uchigane, landing hits on the ground as Tsurugi frequently shifts her movement direction.
In the midst of the attack, she begins to notice that Cecilia’s stationary.
‘She’s not moving… Maybe I could…’
She turns around and dashes towards her, only to be hindered by one of her wing bits.
‘Guess not. I’ll have to think of another way to attack her—’
While boosting away from the wing bits’ fire, she pauses her thoughts and looks at the wing bits and then to her katana.
‘…With her own weapons, that’s it!’
She resumes evading shots from the wing bits, trying to get into position.
Upon reaching a spot, she holds her stance and watches the bits approach her. One of the bits enters attack range and moves to fire while Tsurugi keeps a watchful eye on it.
She holds up her katana at an angle just at the slight notice of the bit’s muzzle glowing as it loads up a shot.
The wing bit then opens fire while Tsurugi simply stands her ground and holds up her katana.
The shot deflects off the katana’s angled, broad side and heads straight for the Blue Tears, catching Cecilia off-guard.
“EH…?”
Without hesitation, Cecilia puts up a barrier just in time to block the oncoming shot. The lapse of focus causes her wing bits to lose responsiveness and become momentarily inactive.
‘Got her! Now for the drone bits—eh?’
Tsurugi realizes that the drones aren’t moving and looks over to Cecilia, noticing that she’s trying to quickly regain focus.
‘The remote bits stop when she’s distracted…?’
Not long after, Cecilia controls her wing bits to resume their attacks on Tsurugi, who boosts away upon seeing the bits becoming active again.
‘I see… She needs to focus her mind when using the remote weapons! In that case…’
