Does anybody know the effect of slashing/peircing/blunt weapons?

It seems most of the swords in the game are peicering, but they should be slashing... anybody know what the effect of this flag is?

; stat_pri      From left to right
;               attack factor
;               attack bonus factor if charging
;               missile type fired (no if not a missile weapon type)
;               range of missile
;               amount of missile ammunition per man
;               Weapon type = melee, thrown, missile, or siege_missile
;               Tech type = simple, other, blade, archery or siege
;               Damage type = piercing, blunt, slashing or fire. (I don't think this is used anymore)
;               Sound type when weapon hits = none, knife, mace, axe, sword, or spear
;               Optional. Name of effect to play when weapon fires
;               Min delay between attacks (in 1/10th of a second)
;               Skeleton compensation factor in melee. Should be 1

Seems to suggest that its effect is none as it is unused.
