Maybe. They count as simple melee/ranged weapons. It really comes down to if your DM thinks counts as a weapon is enough to make it a weapon for the feature. And whether its nature of being baked into the armor affects that. My gut feeling is not until you use other artificer abilities to enchant them. As unenchanted weapons get summoned and you can't summon something that is part of the armor, enchanted ones are just bound to you with the pact.
It is a class feature of the armorer subclass for artificer.
"Force Demolisher. An arcane wrecking ball or sledgehammer projects from your armor. The demolisher counts as a Simple Melee weapon with the Reach property, and it deals 1d10 Force damage on a hit. If you hit a creature that is at least one size smaller than you with the demolisher, you can push the creature up to 10 feet straight away from yourself or pull the creature up to 10 feet toward yourself."
It is kind of nebulous... it doesn't say that it cannot be disarmed, so I would say that means it is not physically attached to the armor. It does not say anything about sheathing or hiding the weapon at all. All it says is that it counts as a simple weapon with reach. Both Gemini and ChatGPT say it should work... but I wanted to get a consensus from the community. I'm just brainstorming a character idea and don't have a DM to run it by.
I think the above is the actual point for determining use as a pact weapon. Pact weapon is defined below:
...you can conjure a pact weapon in your hand
As the weapon is not in one's hand, then the Force Demolisher can't be a pact weapon. This seems not nebulous. Being able to remove the weapon from armor is not relevant. The Force Demolisher would not be conjured into the players hand as it is a weapon used as part of the armor itself.

Could a Warlock multiclassed with Armorer Artificer with the Dreadnaught armor use Pact of the Blade to make their Force Demolisher their pact weapon?
What is the Force Demolisher?
Can it disappear like a long sword can?
Can it appear like a long sword can?
