Technically it could be put under the category of "tool", but it has no useful effects. Therefore weapon is the easiest category for it to fit into.

Another way to look at it: I can't see this being called a tool in any way, shape or form.
 * Does it fire a projectile? Yes.
 * Does it apply a buff/debuff? Yes.
 * Does it contain "gun" in the name? Yes.
