i was reading all the comment but did stop because of this one, sorry but you know you are freaking wrong?
some example of farming tool that have become later weapon:



the Kama, at the start it was a tool for harvest that was changed later in weapon



"The origin of the nunchaku is unclear, although one popular belief is that nunchaku was originally a short South-east Asian flail used to thresh rice or soybeans." dixit wikipedia.

and you can find a loooooot of example of other farming tool that was transformed in weapon. human can be...quite creative in the way to kill other human, don't doubt it. and they are quite good for make it pratical.

an example of weapon that look quite deadly now, but that was quite unpatrical... the Rapiere, at the start if you look at it, it's not easy to use it. but do the spanish have think the same when they have create a new deadly sword style?

don't be too hasty to judge a weapon from it origine or how you think they can be used.
