So many god-damnned variables.
-For example, Inca knew how make bronze, they never bothered casting weapons & armour out of it because their enemies, and most of their allies, used mostly wood, stone, bone and textiles. Btw, pre-heated sling rocks wrapped in textiles = spaniards scared by the sudden rain of fire. Mostly a one-use trick, but goes to show the creativity due to limitations.
-The Bian (鞭, whip), seems to be the result of someone turning a bamboo beating stick/truncheon into a blunt weapon equivalent to maces.
-Phillipine mail was kinda spaced because anything tighter would exhaust you in that humid heat, and made of brass because it was easier to acquire than iron, and didn't rust so easily.
-A lot of those weird African blades are actually cerimonial, religious, or a way to show of your wealth. Though the actual throwing blades seem to have been an attempt to make sure 1 pointy end hits your target.
-Portuguese "Jogo do Pau", Stick fighting, was peasants forbidden from owning weapons, making a martial art out of staffs, bor self-defense and dueling.
-A lot of weapons derive from tools, like scythes > war scythes > fauchard. Following that logic, I made up a dwarf war shovel, used in underground shield walls kinda like gladius and iklwa. Pic related.
-Maori clubs (which might also have sharp edges) are so good because the nephrite jade they are made from, is particularly resistent to shock, it won't fracture as most stones/crystals. But it took a lifetime to carve one.
-I had a Indian/Arab hybrid society whose lower caste was forbidden from having weapons, so they figured out unarmed martial arts unknown to the other castes. Justified exotic, non-asian monks.
