Ok i went back and counted every weapon category (except bowgun) and I got ABOUT (not entirely spot on) 298 final upgrade weapons. Then again there will most likely be more than that once the game releases beacause of extra event weapons, other useless weapons, and bowguns (i DID count bows though). There are about 36 Great Swords, 35 Long Swords, 30 Sword and Sheilds, 31 Dual Swords, 33 Hammers, 24 Hunting Horns, 33 Lances, 27 Gunlances, 25 Switch Axes, and 24 Bows.
