You see the problem here is that you are calling these 'weapons' when they were always primarily tools, even if on occasion they were used as weapons.
I know in the Americas under the Spanish weapons were prohibited for the natives as well with the exception of the Tlaxcala. Can't uprise effectively without proper weapons :P
If you speak Spanish this video has a lot of information:
