The weapon is most likely his cane. That's what I'm betting, at least.

But what if Beacon is to some extent a weapon? What if he rigged the place in case of grimm invasion (or otherwise) and he can activate traps in case of emergencies? I'm sure the teachers could handle an invasion, but Ozpin seems like the type of person to be prepared for anything. I'm sure he thought of the scenario in which there was an attack and there were no staff members available (for whatever reason) to protect the academy plus its students.

Also, we saw multiple gears in his office from the trailer. What are those gears for? I don't believe they would just be for decoration...
