If you're disarmed you sure will.

In game terms there's obviously no reason to do so, of course you can extend this logic to ridiculous munckinism very quickly. The weapons are there if at some point you need one or if you're at TL0 for some reason and can't get anything better. In reality axes replaced hammers as weapons because they really are much better weapons, the same thing happened with guns replacing swords.
