0001289: Dwarves given their choice of weapons will choose ones too big to use
Large weapons are still unusable even in DF2010. These include pikes, halberds, mauls, great axes and two-handed swords (hope I haven't forgotten anything).

I know they were unusable in previous version, but now they may be assigned to military dwarves with "individual weapon" choice. When they do, it results in the dwarf not picking anything and fighting with bare hands.
For players: if you want your military to equip properly, make sure you forbid all large weapons.
