WMD are not the only things that can be stockpiled, and your concept of 'piles' (a heap of things laid or lying one on top of another) is incorrect.

'Stockpile' has nothing to do with WMDs except in the particular text you are reading.

[to stockpile] --to keep or collect items in large quantities against the possibility of shortage.
