This is pretty much a matter of "do your own research if you want to know 
more." When I buy a rpg book, I am paying for the stats on how the items 
within interact with the game mechanics, not a series of essays on the 
why's of how they work. Do I need to see an essay on sword forging in the 
PHB to use a sword in my campaign? No. If you want to know more about the 
weapons, the methods of their operation, how they're made, etc., visit your 
local library or join the Military Book Club, but don't fill up an rpg book 
with this kind of tripe, especially considering how easy this kind of stuff 
is to find on the net as well.
