In this discussio0n my main question is, What is your opinion for exported weapons that dwarves arte unable to make?

You can tell if you export them or if you assemble them by mods, i don't know what you do.

I think that these weapons are really useful, for example whips (Can damage bronze colossus) or bows (Faster shooting but nice damage).

State your opinion here.

Nakas alod!

Whip, morningstar: Better can openers than anything we can make. I will happily import them because material and quality don't matter too much for blunt weapons. A morningstar is still a better hammer if the edged penetration checks fail.

Dagger, tool knives: Interesting half measures. Very fine stabs that get through superior armour, weak cuts that are still faster than stabs/bludgeons against small fleshy things.
Long sword: Decent generalist, both attacks are strong.
If I could produce them out of good materials in high qualities, I'd use them a lot more.

Flail: Should be weaker against armour, better at pulping flesh than other blunt weapons. Not really attractive, but worth considering if reanimating undead are a concern.
The rest don't seem very useful.

I tend to really enjoy these as a gamey thing. After enough sieges, I've gathered enough whips to outfit a squad. Same with flails. I don't import them but rather make an effort to collect them from fallen enemies.

It depends on cost and whether We have a Dwarf with the relevant Skill.

Weapons looted off the Enemy are Weapons We didn't need to make or pay for, and any Weapon is better then no Weapon.

We have on Occasion bought an exotic Weapon for a Dwarf from a previous Fortress who was respectably skilled in its Use, but We normally consider them not worth the Price.
