Almost no matter what your level of military tech- javelin, arquebus, phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range, quantum black hole, whatever - it's nowhere near as good as it was in your great-great-granddad's day. In those days, men were real men, women were real women, and hideously powerful destructive forces were... better than this modern muck, with glowing runes and everything.

If the Lost Superweapon has become a notable part of the landscape, then it is a Weaponized Landmark. See also: MacGuffin, Artifact of Doom, Older Is Better and Lost Technology. Compare Fling a Light Into the Future. Examples of Lost Superweapon include:
