Ok

At my school we only have the staff[2 forms], short stick and duel short sword.
Thats mainly becouse none of us really are that weapon focused and my sifu stuck more to the hand forms.
In some schools you can find most of the traditional weapons... The ones i know of to be older are these ill put an asterix next to the ones we have.
8 Diagram staff*[very old and a treasure set of the style]
Monkey Staff[also very old proberly since Hung Hei Kwuns time]
Lau Ga staff*[ Lau Ng Saam was famous for his staff work]
10 short stick strikes* but turned into a full form
Sabre or broadsword
Gim or strait sword- not very common and from another system.
Mother and sun duel short swords* [from Hung Hei Kwuns time as learnt from his wife, proberly touched up by Lam Sai Wing who's family was famous for there knife skills.
Duel and single chain whips
Spear- although its often just the 8 diagram done with a point as the form is orginaly a spear form.
Meteor hammer - basicaly lost the only person ive heard of that had this technique was Wong Fai Hungs wife Mok Gwai Lam and im not sure she ever taught it. I could be wrong.
Rope dart [same deal as meteor hammer and would share basicaly the same techniques]
Kwan Do- a part of some linages
Double Broadsword or Sabre - Lam Chun Fai's specialty and an amazing form though quite high end.
I think thats the main ones though some village strains of Hung Ga have a LOT more.
