And also being able to attack the soul as well, which is what will likely do Kirito in. IIRC this version of Shirou doesn't really like using Kiritsugu (the weapon) that much in-character, as well as Natalia & Maiya (the weapons). I believe the reason being is in chapter 46 of From Fake Dreams, where it's explained this version of Shirou is more of a Magus than his original counterpart, staying from a distance and spamming weapons instead of being up close.
