Well if you're concerned about equipment and trying not to look like a freaking psychopath on their first day at this school, then why not go for something else that makes a loud noise? Instruments are a good example. You control how loud those are and take it from there! Plus you aren't freaking anyone out because you decide it's a bright idea to bring a gun to school, which is a red flag no matter the bullets you are using. Heck I don't even have my sickle in my picture, and even then I'm not going to be brandishing that around, even if I'm already sticking out due to my character's choice of host. Pick something that benefits your powers and what makes the most logical sense.
For example, what is in the suitcase I am carrying around? Besides some changes of clothes for when I want to wear something different, it contains the parts needed to repair the body I'm using. Granted I don't have bags of straw to easily fill myself back up (I got a source for that), but I have my valuables that I need to survive. Something like that I would bring with me is because those are a necessity to my character, something to keep me going and walking about, do anything with my arms and even perform actions! I don't need my weapons since my body is one and I know damn well how to use it!
And wanna know a fun fact: my character enjoys music. You can weaponize music! Why can't you use something that can take advantage of this fact instead of... well, what you are toting?
Seriously, while yes what you are saying is weak and Spriter pointing out can be destructive to the point of OP banning, there are alternate ways to use your powers for something less destructive and isn't going to terrify everyone at the school, and also bust and suspend your ass because you think that real-life events isn't to have some sort of impact in a fantasy setting!
