I think I can answer that. Pretty much all the tables were ported over from the old UESP (pre-wiki) days. That particular table originally listed base weight values based on steel weapons. This caused a lot of unnecessary and complicated math, so I changed it to reflect iron weapon weights (which made sense to me at the time, as iron is the lowest grade). As far as I know, nobody had access to the code back in the day, and I didn't either, so I was going off in-game numbers.

I completely missed the warhammer entry. 7.00 is correct.

Sorry :oops:

That's what I honestly figured actually, since steel and daedric both have the 1.25 weight modifier.
