Most of the time, yes. But occasionally things are changed.

Like the Kobolds in Episode 2; in the LN it's said they were weilding halberds, but as you can see, the anime shows them weidling some funky cotton-candy mace weapons. Similarly, in the LN, Sinon's side-arm is a "H&K MP7", but the anime and manga replace it with a "Glock 18C".

The two changes above could be attributed to being easier to animate, or having a better reference to use (the team went to Guam to test different guns for reference; maybe they couldn't test out an H&K MP7?). But I assume the change in Nori's weapon is probably because we wouldn't notice under normal circumstances.

Or maybe it was changed in a later edition of Volume 7, and we just didn't know, because our only access to the raws are earlier print versions? Either way, it's a good idea to mention both, mentioning that the hammer was in the anime adaptation (was it also in the manga?)
