I think tjwingchun is correct.
The pike was a common weapon in armies for many cultures before guns came about. Also the bow and arrow.
IMO many martial arts "borrowed" from the military training ideas that were around when they developed. e.g. To train pikesmen to wield long pikes they make them practice with a long pole. You don't teach a big set of moves to them.
