would a side hammer count as two hammer weapons ?
and would wamming racks also count as a ramming weapon ?
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

What counts as each different kind of weapon? I understand the Hammer Head and Sledgehammer are Hammer weapons, but I'm kind of unsure about the rest

Hammer weapons refers to hammer systems, IE an arm covered in razors would count as a hammer weapon.

So, is it really anything attached to the specified motors? For example, a mace could be used as a hammer weapon if attached to a burst motor?

As long as it is damaging, I guess so.

nope its nfx's, just using it as an example, only he would make a popup that small

you kind of need weapons on a hammer for it to not fail, and yes they would count, why would you even use hammer heads and sledges as weapons ?
