Breaking weapons used to interrupt slightly by slowing the game and playing a shattering sound.
There's still a shatter sound, but it's more subdued, and there's no interruption.
The animation doesn't seem obvious enough for such a drastic gameplay change. If it has the same style of animation as the breaking medallions from the medallion break Awakening Stone (just with a weapon), the entire problem would be solved.
