A spear isn't the same as tying a kitchen knife to the end of a broomhandle; a military weapon has got to be able to resist the rough handling it will be subjected to without breaking, be designed in a way to prevent it getting stuck in the enemy and be able to be repaired/reused when another battle begins. And mind you I'm only speaking about the spearhead, the wood is a completely different monster.Why do they have a shortage of weapons? how hard is it to make a crude spear exactly like the one the guard has?
The MC literally HAD to use isekai-alchemy in order to make the weapons from what they had because he also knew that a makeshift solution simply wouldn't cut it.
I suppose the MC wanted to give them a side-arm too, for when the enemy gets too close.If you've got a shortage on metal, you want spears more than swords. They're not as good in cramped spaces, but generally better everywhere else.
