Pretty good evidence to support that conclusion.
Such as finding many examples of broken weapons near battle sites, and the weapons being identical to implements found at the village.
It's possible some specialization occurred, but multiple-use tools are more efficient.

What, clubs, slingshots, and arrows? Not really. The Gun was invented for a weapon, however.
In 1718, James Puckle of London, England, demonstrated his new invention, the "Puckle Gun," a tripod-mounted, single-barreled flintlock gun fitted with a multishot revolving cylinder. This weapon fired nine shots per minute at a time when the standard soldier's musket could be loaded and fired but three times per minute. Puckle demonstrated two versions of the basic design. One weapon, intended for use against Christian enemies, fired conventional round bullets, while the second variant, designed to be used against the Muslim Turks, fired square bullets, which were believed to cause more severe and painful wounds than spherical projectiles.
Winchester developed his rifle for the soldiers of the revolution.
To my knowledge, guns were never originally intended for hunting.

Probably...necessity is the mother of all invention. It would stand to reason that, when violence entered into society, people used what they had at their disposal for weapons. It would reason that a hunting tool would be the best thing to use for defense.

I think people have always been the most dangerous animal on the planet, and anything tool like-that could be used as a weapon would have been multipurpose.

Of course they did but probably just a stick or rock for the first hand to hand weapon.

they sure did....rocks and sticks....but isn't a weapon a tool? So what's your point? ban all tools?

Either they did or they didn't. Consult archaeology to find the answer. It's not settled by popular opinion.
