In _Soul Eater_ and _Soul Eat Not!_ , we see a variety of different weapon
types- swords, guns, scythes, etc. Based on [this
post](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/26601/how-are-weapons-formed),
we can assume the origin of demon weapons to be from experiments. So if they
are not born, but made, this means that Death and other creators originally
decided what type of weapon they needed, and created accordingly. Assumedly,
they could they have done this with any item, not just a weapon- thus, is
there something canon that says they _have_ to be weapons?

(Surely there were other items that could have been of use instead of pure
offense. Shields, armor- with the exception of Tsubaki's and Black Star's
Shield Star. This brings into question what is needed for a good team balance
in a fight, which is out of scope of this question.)
