What the "Fathead" is is a UHMW blunt core with Santoprene molded around it. I believe they hit harder than a standard Baldar, as there is less padding in front of the UHMW. (I'll check my hostory for precise numbers). 
 
There is no way for them to absorb water. Standard UHMW heads shouldn't either, as closed cell foam doesn't act as a sponge. Hmm, another advantage of my Tool Dipped heads :)
 
 
Personally, I do not want to be shot with a fathead from minimum range. I dented a curved, 18ga stainless breastplate from about 20' away with my recurve. Imagine that on a collarbone, or the upper, Upper inner thigh...

It would be worth pursuing if you have the time, some of the archers 
I've talked to (including two of our own) have said they were not 
taking the field again until they could replace the "cozy" heads 
with baldars or something equivalent.  
 
I have to admit I'm not fond of using the "cozy's" anymore myself.  
Experienced some unusual problems with them at BAM after being 
soaked in standing water from the rain.  Been trying to dry them 
out ever since and suspect they will all have to be repaired.  
 
First I'd heard of them being ready but took a look at the "Fat 
Head's" on Northstar's site and they look like they won't take 
any water.  Going to have to order some and cut one open to 
see how they are made.  If we can get them approved I'll order 
fifty and let ya know how well they survive.

I have recommended that we approve them to our Earl Marshal. The core of the blunt is a legal UHMW blunt. And the rubber surrounding it is the same as with all Baldar Blunts.
Unless our Earl Marshal specifically denies their use, I see them as legal for use in Ansteorra. Having said that, I don't know that all the Gulf War kingdoms have approved them or their use at Gulf War.

Have the new fathead blunts from Northstar been approved in Ansteorra yet?
I know they are approved in several kingdoms.
Anyone know?
