( eg. Caliburn )
As well as probably tons of crappy swords as well. ( that Gilgamesh would grovel before even allowing them anywhere in his Vault. )
Still, Archer would never be able to beat Gilgamesh in an even fight. Not only is Gate of Babylon more cost-efficient and faster ( unless Gilgamesh tried to you know... turn it into a weapon duel ), it beats whatever Archer has in quality. And very very likely quantity as well.
And then there's the fact that Gilgamesh has more than just weapons in it, but that's his arrogance talking already, because someone like Gilgamesh would probably feel extremely extremely extremely insulted beyond mongrel's imagination if he was forced to actually pull out a defensive Noble Phantasm.

Actually, no.. the game clearly states that UBW is faster than GOB
maybe it's studio Deen's fault for not animating this correctly, but in Fate Zero you can see how it works
Gilgamesh fires his swords in volleys, which must be prepared first. When you see the edge of the sword seemingly peeping out of the GOB this is actually Gilgamesh preparing his sword to be launched. After every weapon is launched he must "reload" his GOB again.
Whereas in UBW, the swords are already on the battlefield.
