Or you could just strip back weapons to learning weaponskill's only and with the Job system let the Job's unlock the skill's traits and abilities. That way you could have a SAM equip a Lance, G.Katana, Banana whatever.

I really hope they strip the armoury system back with the incoming Job System as for me it just seems like one big headache that will only get worse the more classes they add. Unless SE have got some super plan to tie it all together and it all works great, then fair enough.
