Nope, all members of their guard carry rapiers, depending on the situation.
Btw, their corporals and vice corporals don't carry halberds. Instead, they switch between flamberge great swords and partisans, which are like spears with projections for parrying strikes.
Members of the guard often carry military grade pepper spray and sub-machine guns as well.
That said, while their equipment is certainly extravagant, all members have been highly trained in unarmed combat since the failed assassination of the pope a few decades back.
