What was the typical weapon of a Viking?

Sword

Axe

Hammer

Bow, sword and shield

The most popular Vikings' weapons were axes, not because of greater efficiency, but due to higher availability. Only a few could afford swords, which were very expensive - much harder to forge and required much better iron. As to hammers, they weren't used in Scandinavia almost at all.
