Connie doesn't need to be a gem to have a weapon. We already see from the opening that she can wield Rose's Sword, implicating that Stevonnie will use both Rose's Shield and Sword once fused, regardless whether or not connie is a gem. We obviously don't know how connie gets her sword other than just getting it from lion, but we know that she can use it without being a gem.
