No, I am saying that any weapon could deal the Wk a damaging blow. Yes, being that Merry's blade was of the westerss it delt a greater blow.

Tolkien points out that if sam had struck the nazgul it would have been injured just like the latter. Also it was said that the last King of Gondor could have withstood the WK's onslaute in UT, I believe, but his horse would not. THis also is an indication that it does not take an extraoridinary weapon to deal him a blow.
