As An ranged weapon, there is also a lv 8 construction xbow that is An and have 999 as damage.
I think that is a one shot-one kill weapon, at least from flavor text and experience.

It's not construction 8 (that would mean it's unique). It's constr 2 or 4, and it's negated by magic resistance. It's basically Soul Slay that can be resisted by magic resistance, Air Shield or a shield with a good parry value.

No one mentioned the lightning bow? Armor negating, with strength based damage.

Oddly enough, it appears to work on mindless units too, sort of. I had a poison golem that got hit by an Ethereal Crossbow and took 85 points of damage from it--I assume because he failed his MR check.
