You may be forgetting that it is said that the weapons and arms of Elder Days are all said to have been stronger then their Third Age counterparts. As time went on, the Elves slowly lost the arts they had made due to various calamities(Fall of Gondolin, Fall of Nargothrond, the Years of Flight, the Curse of Mandos, the Sack of Menegroth, the Dagor Menegroth between Elves and Dwarves, etc.) and the Dwarves lost theirs to dragons and other, more nefarious creatures. In the Second Age they began to regain that lost knowledge, but they lost it again in the Fall of Eregion. Men need hardly be explained; but do you think dead smiths can pass on their secrets? With that issue resolved, could you come up with statistics for your Gondolinian weapons?
