No, I get that, what I'm saying is, I don't get why the hell he would choose either since neither would seem particularly effective at dispatching Grimm.

Judging by what we've seen, Shade is an equivalent level of education to Beacon, which means the students there likely went through training at another combat school before then. So Nolan would have had to make it through said school and into Shade by himself before teaming up with the rest of Team BRNZ, which makes it unlikely that his weapon was chosen just to work in tandem with his team mates he didn't know yet. So for some reason, he went into training to be a Huntsman thinking a primarily non-lethal weapon was a great idea for bringing down 1000lbs monsters that hunt in packs and slaughter humans like its their job.
