Unforseen side-effect of biological xeno-technology.

They did use them. The footage in the documentary section didn't always show it, but it was evident that they used their weapons.
Also you may have overlooked the fact that most of the prawns were aimless working class...the great majority of them were very simple-minded, with few exceptions, including the "Christopher Johnson" prawn.
