We know that a technique doesn't have to successfully land on Baam in order for him to copy it. After all, he has learnt non-offensive techniques too. While we don't know much about his copying ability, this is at least something.

Also, it's entirely possible that he was taught how to wield different types of weapons by FUG. After all, one can never know what treasure may come by with item-awarding events (e.g., Workshop Battle), and it would somewhat shortsighted of FUG not to prepare their Slayer Candidate for such situations.

In other words, Baam may simply prefer to fight unarmed, or he has yet to come across a weapon that can surpass or even match his Shinsoo strengthened body. If this were the case, any B~A rank ignition weapon should still be considerably superior to his current level of Shinsoo strengthening.

In any case, when we consider the latest confrontation, it's strongly suggested that Baam by himself can barely keep up with Hoaqin, much less fight him off for any periods of time. Yet the 3rd round of the Dallar Game requires Baam to not only confront Hoaqin on his own, but also to fight him off while he is rescuing the hostages. It's true that Baam has yet to use any proper Shinsoo attacks on Hoaqin, but if these fail to do the trick, then there are really only three follow-ups: [1] The copy girl confronts Hoaqin on Baam's behalf, [2] Baam gains some MC power-up (e.g., new power / weapon), and / or [3] the hostage(s) die...
