Assuming that selling them is wrong, and that using them to kill is wrong, then 1 weapon that kills 1,000 is worse, unless the owner is also 1000 times less likely to use that one big weapon than the small weapons.
Given the number of AK-47s in the world, and the number that get used, and the number of people killed in said usages, and the number of nuclear warheads in the world, and the number that have been used, it's obvious that over the last 50 years, more people have been killed by AK-47s and similar than by nuclear warheads. So morally, it's far from "obvious" that a WMD is automatically "worse"....
Or was that supposed to be rhetorical?
Yes.
