Also, what about The One Ring? It was definitely made as a weapon, though not a traditional weapon. If included it would have to be near if not at the top of the list.

What about the blade that Merry weilded? That DEFINITELY should be in this list because of its ability to overcome the Witch King's power.

Now I'll think a little more 'outside the box'. What about FEAR? It was used many times by many combatants. More victories were won with it than any other weapon!

That was fun!

: Right chaps and chapesses

: 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.
