Which One?

My weapon is smashes.
My weapon are smashes.

Which is the correct one? Thank you.

You should go with is. The main thing to focus on here is:

Subject: My weapon (singular)

Predicate: is smashes. The verb has to be in correspondence with the subject.

My weapon is smashes.
My weapon are smashes.

Which is the correct one? Thank you.

While "is" is the correct verb choice, "smashes" is not the correct adjective choice. The correct form is non of the above. Try,

My weapon is smashed.

"smashed" is an adjective.

Wow. What does "smashes" mean, and is it a noun?

Yes, I believe "smash" can be a noun. It looks like a serve (in tennis), but it is performed during the point, when your opponent tries to lob you for instance.
I would have said:
My weapon of choice is the smash.

So it's supposed to be a verb in our example sentences? I'm so confused. The example sentences are grammatical, then? Show me, please.

No, it was always meant to be a noun IMHO.

Paraphrasing James' question, if I got it right:
What I want to say: My greatest skill is the bluff. (bluff is a noun)
Questions:
My weapon is bluff (correct?)
My weapon is bluffs (correct?)
My weapon is the bluff (correct?)
