Then do you ignore "18 = weapon breaks" when the target of an attack isn't 
attacking back?

Funny... I do too :-)

But I think it is way too powerful in a way that's consistent with the 
"weapon breaks on an 18" being way too powerful (IMO) as well. 

And even given your conception of how weapons break, note that under my 
proposal the victim has to *attack and miss* on the turn that the attacker makes 
his special "break weapon attack." (Also, if it wasn't clear before, the "break 
weapon attack" doesn't to any damage to the target, other than causing him to 
lose his weapon.)
