DC/Durability of normal weapons.

What is the Attack Potency and Durability of the following:

Swords Spears Axes Clubs Arrows (Bow/Crossbow) Armor Shield

What would the Attack Potency and Durability be if superhuman level beings with same weapons?
 
Pretty sure we'd rate pretty much any of those weapons as Street level. "Armor" is pretty vague, but from what I've seen, plate armor is pretty much swordproof, but is countered by blunt weaponry and sort-of by piercing weapons like bows, so it would probably just be resistant to slashing weapons. Meanwhile, gambesons were able to stop arrows from longbows if they were thick enough, and similar but thinner armor was worn underneath plate armor. Pretty sure shields would also be Street level durability, but I think I remember someone saying that it should be Wall level for completely cutting a shield in half.

They'd probably be useless if used by superhumans, though, and if they didn't break from being swung well beyond their intended thresholds they would be rated the same AP and Durability as the superhuman character in question.

Keep in mind I'm no expert, and I'm basically regurgitating what I've heard and seen online.

Thank you. One more question, what would be the AP of siege weapons like catapalts, battering rams and Ballistas?
 
The Trebuchet is rated as Wall to Small Building level, so I'd assume Catapults and Ballistas were around that range. Battering Rams would lose the "to Small Building level" part, though.

Weapons durability only depends of the material what are they made, its also stay unvariable independently of the user AP. This kind of melee weapons can easily bust a normal human to street levels, but still vary with weapons.
