How can Tonfa be considered out of place when we have Gunlances, Switch Axes, and Charge Axes?

I think people are still stuck on them being only Tonfa, which are just a stick or baton, when in reality they're a pile bunker being used as a tonfa.

Pile Bunker; n. Tool or weapon composed of a pneumatic or hydraulic piston connected to a spiked shaft and recoil springs; Uses rapid compression to drive the piston forward which in turn drives a spike into an object, in a matter similar to that of a pneumatic hammer (jackhammer), only the spike goes far into the object and then retracts quickly, readying itself for another strike.
