Not differentiating between weapon types, but differentiating between damage types. It would make the mod play very weird with other mods, and even some vanilla features, but a hackish damage-type, armour-type system could be coded in. Certain armours would reduce certain types of damage - which are an existing thing in MC - and different weapons would deal those certain types.
