There are lots of badly fitted / heavy guants out there even some expensive heavy/ badly fitted guants I have 2 sets in spring steel, fingers made by me mittens made by Cet. Cet's weigh less than most sets of half's with a basket, and the cuff's allow for more than enough wrist movement. My fingers ...

" I am told the "box" style are best, could someone post a picture of Box style gauntlets?" Pattenly untrue box are easy to make, but range from suck completely to "ok" as far as protection, right angles and flat surfaces are not good for things that take direct blunt f...

Murdock

DR says

Pulled a deltoid and badly hyper extended my elbow, put me on Naproxen

Which helped my headache but did nothing for my arm or back

stupid non Kryptonian body

Murdock

i wanna be Leo if i live long enough to grow up

Murdock

If it is durable and light then yes i'd be interested

Bad riviting even in Ti would make a shirt weak, to thick in the links, too heavy.

A shirt that wears like stainless and weighs like aluminim

i'd be on that

Murdock

wow

my camp sucks

"Just make it simple: when he grabs your polearm, pull out a dagger and stab him in the face until he yields or dispenses candy. "

this

makes a great reason to buy one of Vitus's dagger belts

That rule should be banned forever

and ever and ever

If that's the way folks are getting trained something is messed up,

your supposed to have engagement. Even if it's line on line

You don't nail people in the back because you want to.

Murdock

look for texts from before the 70's

or get homeschool texts

the Government schools are to busy teaching PC garbage, esp in History classes

Murdock

"The marshall called me dead, even after said fighter explained that he was dead long before he made contact with me. " Had 2 similar incidents in other battles. In one the guy i shoved out returned into the fray as the marshal told me that i was dead, and tried to pull me off the field. T...

BTW

Thanks to those who came after me in mass in the first run through. It was a great honor to be shown such respect. I was humbled and quite appreciative.

Manfred and Robert Downey i recognized for sure not sure of the others.

Murdock

"What's with all these back attacks? Come on people we're better than this. " I got speared twice in the back, right between the shoulder blades. Once when i was very very already dead. I chalked it up to bad aim in one case and spearman being an idiot in the other. It was Pennsic and ever...

"After the allotted time, we were tied 2-2. ..... There was some confusion about the 360-degree engagement for banner carriers that led to some words, but all in all, a fun, well-fought battle." I suppose that's a diplomatic take. One could also point out that 2 goals were taken back by th...

"by a polearm so hard it CREASED his 14 gauge stainless steel helmet. " Broadway said it some what less kindly but, Even i can do that with a single handed sword on a good day, most anyone with an unpadded pole can do it. Not saying the shot wasn't excessive or generally bad. But creasing ...
