I can't find anything on the wiki about it.  Mostly what I'm going for is seeing if I can make weapons or ammo that do more damage when pulled out of a wound.  But there are other things I'm not quite sure of either.  For example to what extent can weapon tags be used in ammo entries, or how does weapon size relate to creature size, and how does that affect its combat stats?  Just what levels of "contact area" and "penetration size" allow for more or less damage?  To what degree does the velocity multiplier impact combat?

The wiki doesn't seem to have any info on any of this.  And it looks like I might bee busy with other things within the coming week or two, so I might have trouble testing it out.  Any one know anything?  Even just a little thing might be helpful.

OK, judging by my experience, there're just a few things important about weapon.

1) Blunt or edged. Edged weapons are god damn awesome, blunt weapons are mediocre.
2) Weapon size influences the damage a lot.
3) The bigger is the contact surface/penetration, the better.
4) Velocity multiplayer seems to be a minor factor.

These 4 points sum up everything you want to know about a weapon.
Everything else is defined by the weapon's material.

how does weapon size relate to creature size

There's no connection. The weapon is a weapon, no matter if it was forged by gnomes or by giants. Its stats are similar for all weapons of the same type.

So there's not much in the way of things that make weapons get stuck more easily anymore?

STICK_CHANCE was removed if you're about it. I am bit sad about it, I cannot make STICK_CHANGE energy ammo anymore .

Oh well.  Thanks anyway.  I suppose I could simulate a barbed sword by making the slash attack slightly less powerful than a normal sword and giving the stab attack more strength.
