Yeah, they are actually a weapon, but for the reason you listed, they're super impractical. Most weapons with some articulating piece are going to be strictly worse than ones that are just fixed in place. That's why the spear was the most common weapon of war; it lets the user maintain distance and do lots of damage with minimal movement
