I uhlaka lwe-rapier okwamanje iwumshini wokweluka ishuttleless osetshenziswa kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwezici zokukhiqiza okunesivinini esikhulu, okuzenzakalelayo, kanye nokusebenza kahle okuphezulu kwe-shuttleless loom, indlela yayo yokufaka i-weft esebenzayo inokuguquguquka okunamandla okuhlukahlukene futhi ingakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nokufakwa kwe-weft kwezintambo ezihlukahlukene kanye ne-rapier looms nakho kunezinzuzo ezisobala. ekwalukeni kwe-weft enemibala eminingi, engakhiqiza imikhiqizo edaywe ngentambo enemibala efika ku-16 yezintambo ezilukiwe. Ngokushintshwa kwama-shuttle looms ngama-shuttle looms, ama-rapier looms azoba umshini oyinhloko wokukhiqiza izindwangu ezilukiwe.

I-rapier loom okwamanje iyona esetshenziswa kakhulu ishuttleless loom. Ngaphezu kwezici zokukhiqiza okunesivinini esikhulu, okuzenzakalelayo, kanye nokusebenza kahle okuphezulu kwe-shuttleless loom, indlela yayo yokufaka i-weft esebenzayo inokuguquguquka okunamandla okuhlukahlukene futhi ingakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nokufakwa kwe-weft kwezintambo ezihlukahlukene kanye ne-rapier looms nakho kunezinzuzo ezisobala. ekwalukeni kwe-weft enemibala eminingi, engakhiqiza imikhiqizo edaywe ngentambo enemibala efika ku-16 yezintambo ezilukiwe.
