Weapons in this verse are currently street level in attack potency and durability, but maybe they can be upgraded with the evidence below. Maybe it applies to the characters too.
Jaime Lannister said in the books that good steel was a match for any bear, during the fight between Brienne and an eight-foot-tall bear :
Brown bears and Polar bear have Wall level durability according to their profiles (if these files are not outdated), and these species of bears exist in the verse :
The First Men faced mighty beasts, during their war against the Children of the Forest, while they had bronze weapons :
The bronze weapons are outmatched by the iron and steel weapons :
And some characters like Shagga and Hugh Hammer have damaged steel objects with their bare hands :
The Mountain should be possibly superior to Shagga in strength, since Gregor's is considered inhuman, even compared to other warriors with incredible physical strength in Westeros. And a lots of characters downscale to Gregor Clegane.
Thoughts ?
Edit: Even without the statement on the strength of the Mountain, most characters should scale or downscale to Shagga's feat.
Jaime Lannister said in the books that good steel was a match for any bear, during the fight between Brienne and an eight-foot-tall bear :
"She needed to attack, to make a quick end to it. Good steel was a match for any bear [...] He's wary, Jaime realized. He's gone up against other men. He know swords and spears can hurt him."
Brown bears and Polar bear have Wall level durability according to their profiles (if these files are not outdated), and these species of bears exist in the verse :
Many of the caves are home to the brown bears common to these northern lands, others to packs of red or grey wolves.
Varamyr Sixskins, a small mouse of a man whose steed was a savage white snow bear that stood thirteen feet tall on its hind legs.
The First Men faced mighty beasts, during their war against the Children of the Forest, while they had bronze weapons :
The First Men- who had brought with them strange gods, horses, cattle, and weapons of bronze- were also larger and stronger than the children, and so they were a significant threat [...] The greenseers employed their arts, and tales say that they could call the beasts of marsh, forest, and air to fight on their behalf: direwolves and monstrous snowbears, cave lions and eagles, mammoths and serpents, and more. But the First Men proved too powerful, and the children are said to have been driven to a desperate act.
The bronze weapons are outmatched by the iron and steel weapons :
Sweeping through the Vale with fire and sword, the Andals began their conquest of Westeros. Their iron weapons and armor surpassed the bronze with which the First Men still fought, and many First Men perished in this war."
Nor could the First Men match the zeal of the invaders, and their bronze axes and byrnies of bronze scales proved less than equal to the steel swords and iron ringmail of the Andals.
And some characters like Shagga and Hugh Hammer have damaged steel objects with their bare hands :
