His weapon is a shotgun, so spread damage as opposed to single piercing damage, and as you saw when Blake was shooting it smaller bullets don't do much.

It's also a staff and nunchucks. Really not useful for pinning or piercing. And the Grimm is way to large for him to be able to hold it in place with his weapon.

And as Arkantos said...where was he going to get Dust crystals? Especially since Atlas and the SDC have put an embargo on Dust exports, meaning the other kingdoms are not getting any, and therefore it would be harder to acquire.
