E.g. Totsuka can be wielded by anyone (not just Itachi's susanoo), can be permanent (it's just stored by Susanoo) and is definitely designed to inflict harm.

E.g. Rasenshuriken can only be wielded by it's user, Naruto (or whoever creates it). It's also not permanent (it's meant to explode upon impact).

E.g Explosive Tags aren't weapons but rather tools (they aren't designed to kill specifically). Kunai blur the line between tool and weapon (but that's generally true for any form of knife).

E.g. Truthseeking weapons can only be handled by the one wielding the TSB. therefore they're not actual weapons (But weaponized TSB's).

E.g. Kagutsuchi (can turn into a sword) is a weaponized jutsu (since it can only be wielded by the one wielding Kagutsuchi) so its not a weapon, it's a jutsu (in the form of a weapon).

E.g. Destroying Axe Fist is not a weapon (it can only be wielded by whoever transforms his body) and so is a weaponized transformation.
