A weapon is something whose primary purpose and function is to inflict damage. Shields and helmets are primarily for avoiding or reducing damage. They may be designed to also inflict damage when possible or opportune (e.g. shields with spikes, bucklers with a cutting edge), but those are not central to their nature. | |
