As Goku used the power pole, and Future Trunks used a sword, can any character incorporate/infuse an external weapon as part of their fighting style to enhance their power and skill?

For example, would Tien with nunchucks make him more powerful overall?

In part 1 DB maybe. Weaponry was still able to make up for a difference in power. Akkuman was getting stomped by Goku, but using his pitchfork was enough to make Goku get serious and consider it cheating. In Z we have Trunks outright show King Cold that his sword wasn't the reason why he beat Freeza. So I can't think it matters much at all at higher power levels.

Something with range would make sense or something that can take physical damage for you or that increases unpredictability of timing or direction of attacks so they have more to defend against. A weapon like a tail or a armour would make sense. The shield takes damage in place of your body for some hits, allowing you to last longer. A ki-infused boomerang could help. It would be like Freeza's discs or Piccolo vs 17.

Sharpness of a weapon alone might do nothing since Trunks blocked Cold's sword attack? But Piccolo's makankosappo is extra potent due to being piercing attack, same for Krillin/Freeza's kienzans, so sharpness should matter. Maybe Trunks didn't infuse the sword with ki and it was just his swing power doing the damage. Maybe they can't put ki into a non-living object without wastage. They can put it into thejr clothes in a thin aura layer around them, but a sword is further away they'd have to make a wider aura and waste a bunch of ki, if they can't control tje direction of it.

Ironically, I think Goku vs Akkuman is the same gap as Trunks vs 18. Goes to show the difference Ki makes.

King Cold and a Sword

Tien with a gun (Launch taught him how to use it)

Yamcha with a Sword (He knows how to use one)

Frieza with a Rocket Launcher (He used one in a game... this is also a joke)

also most fighters with Ki have no need for weapons... they break much easier than their fist
