I think the whole point is that Bronze doesn't snap, it bends. This would also mean it would lose its edge quite quickly and become little more than a stylish club.
The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think that Gloranthan Bronze weapons are necesarily analogous to historic Bronze weapons. Most would be hardened in some way, this could be via enchantment or simply by the performance of some ritual action that is in fact not magical but by its nature has a hardening effect. i.e. the smith says a prayer and plunges the hot blade into ground ashes causing the blade to case harden or whatever.
