Not sure what you are referring to has a "cozy" blunt our new 1.5"
diameter blunts wont absorb any more water that our older 1.25"
diameter ones. After all, a CLOSED cell foam shouldn't absorb water.<br>
<br>
Fatheads cant absorb water. How are the made? It is a tapered UHMW
blunt core just like I might use to make a foam padded blunt but
instead of foam taped over it it has Santoprene rubber injected around
it. The Santoprene is the same material that has been used to cast
the body of Baldar blunts for some time.<br>
<br>
The way our rules are currently written as a marshal I have no reason
not to allow them. We reference the society rules and do not prohibit
the use of any of the society approved blunts for fiberglass shafts.
So until the Ansteorran rules are changed to specifically disallow
them, the current rules allow them.<br>
<br>
They are stout and hit harder than a classic Baldar Blunt. But of
course don't hit harder than the tip of a rattan sword.<br>

<div>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.<br>
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.<br>
