This article is about an older version of DF.

Weapons are used by military dwarves and certain other humanoids in Template:L.

Hunters, Woodcutters and Miners also use weapons for their work and if need be will also fight using them. Hunters seem to be limited to crossbows while miners and woodcutters use picks and axes respectively.

If you find your dwarves wearing more than one weapon - or any unwanted armor, for that matter - one way to get rid of them is to dump the weapon from their v-i screen. This does not work always, they may re-equip. Another option is to remove any weapons and shields listed on their military equip screen. This too does not work always. At least "left-handedness" seems to not pose a problem.

Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat- an untrained swordsdwarf with an Template:L weapon can defeat a grand master Template:L, provided he wears no armor.

There are many different types of weapons;

Type Size Attack Type*
2H Sword 900 Edge
Battle Axe 800 Edge
Blowgun 150 Blunt**
Bow 300 Blunt**
Crossbow 400 Blunt**
Flail 500 Blunt
Great Axe 1300 Edge
Halberd 1200 Edge
Large Dagger 200 Edge
Long Sword 700 Edge
Mace 400 Blunt
Maul 1300 Blunt
Morningstar 500 Edge
Pick 500 Edge
Pike 800 Edge
Scimitar 300 Edge
Scourge 300 Edge
Short Sword 300 Edge
Spear 400 Edge
War Hammer 400 Blunt
Whip 100 Blunt
*Most edge weapons (and others) have a secondary, albeit less common attack, such as with a sword striking with the pommel (bash).
** Weapons melee attack only. Ammunition uses edge.

There are also three training weapons, a wooden sword, axe, and spear. Each is designed for use in sparring.
