ok so I realize the axe is only a wicked and the chain a lethal but considering the chain is a multi hit wpn and the axe class is the top end dmg wpn shouldn't the axe have more dmg not to mention ob and weight to sit people down?

The damage on the axe is probably higher. You're seeing ranges because you don't have enough pracs in either one.
