You don't NEED weapons to have a good racing game (see Burnout, Pod, F-Zero (though it kind of has them), Rush. etc), but, especially in arcade-style racing games, they're nice to have. Of course, NFS isn't quite THAT arcadish... and the lack of weapons is just one of many things that shows that (and that, IMO, makes it not as good as other, more fun racing games)...
