A general rule at what constitute a weapon, followed by implying it by case by case situations I think would be best.

For example, the general rule of what a weapon is is well obvious. A object that is used in combat (or whatever the actual definition for weapon is).

Then apply it to techniques. A use of a Paper Shuriken would be shurikenjutsu, (or in this case, shurikinninjutsu. Ho-ho-ho) because well, its a thrown projectile.

What would have to come under consideration are things like Rasenshuriken or Dance of the Clematis: Flower. Rasenshuriken looks like an actual shuriken and can be a thrown projectile. However, it explodes. So that's different. Dance of the Clematis: Flower is basically a large sword, spear...thing. But no actual sword/spear looks like that (as far as I am aware).
