Lays Chips
I was going to comment and say "who needs 100 weapons a month?"...but then I remember watching ("Forged in Fire") and seeing both professional and hobbyist struggling to pump out at rough outline of a weapon in 3 hours, much less a "finished" product in 5; and that's with all the fancy stuff they use in forging. So yeah if they're handing out these "weapons" in mass, then yeah they probably do need 100 a month, as they probably bend, break, chip, and crack every time they're used.
