My cousin always says about MCMAP "if it doesn't hurt, you aren't training hard enough". Looks like you were training hard enough!

Hahaa. I sure hope so. If I tried harder, I might die.

If you don't hit very hard, they probably won't hurt very bad at all. My and my friend hit as hard as we can. Just thought I should let you know.

Those knives are great...picked up a rubber training bayonnet a while back (I'm pretty sure it was made by Cold Steel). We use them off-field when just goofing around...but do not use them in skirmish.
Heres a vid of some of our guys smacking each other with rubber... Thats from a while ago...haven't really used em since. Mainly just keep em in the rig for looks.
DO NOT USE EM ON FIELD UNLESS APPROVED BY EVERY SINGLE PLAYER PRESENT
If you have been cleared to use them...a simple poke, smack, or tap is enough. You have to remember that any blunt object can cause injury/pain. You'r goal isn't to hurt anyone, its to get them "out".

WOOHOO! Got the peacekeepers and my big killy-stabby thing today! Excellent quality on the peacekeepers, they feel nice. The big killy-stabby thing has an excellent weight to it, nice striking pommel, and it's nice and sharp. The sheath is pretty good too. One thing that was odd about it, though, was that both the knife and the sheath were covered in charcoal dust.
Thanks for the recommendation, Sno!

Anytime! I'm glad you like them. I am suprised mine are still in good condition after everything I have done to them. Haha, the quality seems amazing, and I think it will last me a while longer than I could have hoped for. The Big Killy-Stabby thing sounds interesting too, and I have no idea why it would be covered in charcoal. Hmm.... Anyways, I have decided that I am probably not going to get the tanto one, as this current one seems perfectly fine with me.

Yeah, the two peacekeepers I got are solid. In the past 18 hours I've had them, I've beat them, dropped them, and smacked myself in the eye with them (long story), and they are rock solid. You aren't going to destroy these, haha. The knife is amazing, very sharp. I've already managed to cut myself with it twice, haha
