Weapons! Yeah weapons! And armour if you like.

Tolkien names a lot of these, but for what purpose. A sword is a sword right? And a mace is a mace and a .... etc, etc.

But the weapons that appear in Middle-earth invariably come with names attached. This in itself hold no problems for me. I guess I give a name to a weapon if it meant much tome. ...

Hmmm...

Anyway, lets get to the point.

Of the weapons in Middle-earth, which was the most potent and why? Forget who wielded the damn thing, which held the most power or took the most power to make? Which weapon was the most powerful. Here’s a list of one’s I can remember (without looking more up). Please add more if you can think of them:

Aeglos
Anduril
Anglachael
Angrist
Anguriel
Aranruth
Beleg’s Bow (can’t remember the name)
Durin’s Axe
Glamdring
Grond
Gurthang
Narsil
Orcrist
Ringil
Theoden’s sword (Herugrim?)

Yeah I know that Narsil and Anduril, and Anglachael and Gurthang, are the same swords, but treat them as different for this, OK.
