I believe they are real weapons... one has to keep in mind the availability of resources on an atoll. You are not going to find steel (unless imported). You have coral, coral sand, coconut palms and what the sea provides (birds and land crustaceans). There is not much there. It is only logical to turn shark's teeth into a weapon. It worked for the shark.
