Actually, I'm not sure about this translation.
The definition of the term on wikipedia is: Blunt weapons are primarily mêlée weapons designed to use blunt trauma to inflict damage on their targets. Most are club-like, and rely on the user's strength and the mass of the weapon to create blunt force.

So I'd rather say سلاح الضرب الحاد.

سلاح كليل

أى انه غير حاد و لكن كلمة كليل أفضل من كلمة "غير حاد"
و أيضا قاموس المورد به عبارة "blunt arrow" اى سهم كليل، و قد أوضح القاموس بأنه سهم غير ماض لقتل الطير بلا تشويه.
و هذا هو المعنى المطلوب للجملة المحتوية على هذل اللفظ.
