Cheap melee weapons have been part of GURPS since the beginning.
They're 40% the price of the good quality default, but they're more likely to break...
I just watched a video talking about iron vs bronze weapons and remembered that bronze is treated as if it were cheap when used against iron or steel weapons.
The video didn't seem to think it made much difference for composition with iron vs bronze, so I looked up the GURPS rules.
B376 says you only check for breakage if you try to parry a weapon that's three times heavier than yours.
So a short sword against a short sword isn't going to show a difference when parrying, like his demo, but unlike the "demonstration" from the film. A short sword against a broadsword, on the other hand...
Weapon quality isn't even mentioned with regards to striking at and breaking
cheap weapons, at least that I could find readily.
