+ | Silver has the highest density of all the weapon-grade metals; its additional weight enhances the performance of [[Attack types#Blunt weapons|bludgeon]]ing weapons such as [[mace]]s, [[Weapon#Foreign weapons|maul]]s, and [[war hammer]]s. However, a low shear strength means silver-made [[edge]]d weapons such as [[spear]]s or [[sword]]s are quite terrible compared to other weapons-grade metals. | ||

+ | In tests in the [[Object_testing_arena|Object Testing Arena]], silver [[War hammer]]s were found to be the deadliest weapon against humanoids in the size ranges of the [[DF2014:Creature#Civilized|civilized races]]. Silver has somewhat poor yield values, and is more prone to [[wear]] than most other weapon grade metals. | ||
