Now that I have to replace all my stolen CA gear, I'm planning on going
with the fatheads on my new equipment. Given that it's UHMW and
Santoprene, they should last a long time with less maintenance. I'm
also hoping that the firmer impact will be easier for fighters in combat
to notice. I may make some standard UHMW bolts for the rapier field,
but that's it.
