I always feel like a heavier weapon glances less. Any data to back up this anecdote?

The only thing I've ever heard weapon weight effecting (other than knockdown) is your recovery against a blocked attack. Heavier weapons have a lower chance to force you into the recovery animation after an enemy blocks your swing.

It would make sense that a heavier weapon would glance less, but I have never heard of this being an actual mechanic.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Generally Heavier weapons have higher damage or blunt/pierce damage.

That is why they tend to bounce less.
PK is back

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.
