apparently it was I who needed to do the research
but
while yoyos might not have been invented as a weapon, a weighted or metal one could definitely cause damage, it does resemble other historical weapons, and the Legend of the War Yoyo was widespread enough that I'm surprised some of the people scoffing haven't heard of it.
(like, seriously, I'd steer clear of a Joseph Joestar with a metal yoyo)
and my point remains, xander probably would've heard the legend and attempted to learn how to use it, with...unknown amounts of success.
