Are you referring to--as far as we know--the only Koon who uses actual spears (i.e., Eduan), or the other Koons who merely use Shinsoo techniques to form spears? Because there is no need to own a Pipe if one doesn't use actual spears that must be stored someplace out of combat, and Hachuling--much like Ran, Maschenny, and that unknown Koon--have only used the Shinsoo technique spears so far.

Moreover, we know that Hachuling is officially "only" a Scout (i.e., we know he isn't a "Scout, Spear Bearer" hybrid), who use Observers that come in all kind of weird, even beastly, shapes and with all kinds of features; it's not a stretch to imagine that some Observers have even built-in Arms Inventory features. And even if he can still fulfil the role of a Spear Bearer to satisfying degree, it's more likely that he uses Shinsoo techniques spears instead of those that take up "physical space", which means he would have no need for a Pipe. Especially when there is the implied contrast between the lighter equipment of Scouts and the heavy Pipes.

PS: AA's stat card said that he has same competence for the Spear Bearer position as Parakewl. =P
