Which weapons ignore shields?
 
The manual says "Some weapons (e.g., morningstars, flails) ignore shields."

Are there any other weapons besides those two that ignore them?

I've heard that if you mod a weapon to not have a flysprite it ends up with both 100 prec and ignores shields.

If I understand my game mechanics right, AN melee weapons like dusk dagger ignores shield (gatecleaver ...etc).

for bow projectiles I believe piercer to be the only one that cannot be parried by shields.

The best place to look for this information is in Edi's database.

In the Weapons tab, you'll see a column called "flail". Weapons in that column behave according to the flail/morningstar mechanic you reference from the manual. Besides the two weapons you've listed, there are whips and a number of magical weapons that use the flail mechanic.

The mechanic for Armor Piercing and Armor Negating is different (but can also reduce the effectiveness of shields.)

Flail weapons no longer ignore shields, but they do get a bonus to attack against shielded opponents, IIRC +2 or +4
