Strike-Legal
From AmtWiki
This refers to the portions of the weapon that are sufficiently padded to prevent injury when used to strike an opponent at full force.
- These portions may not break bones, teeth, or regularly leave bruises when it strikes a person and must have at least one 2.5” cross section from edge to edge.
- Strike-Legal surfaces must have at least 1” of foam over the weapon core, measured from the furthest point on the blade to the surface of the core.
- Stab-only weapons (other than projectiles) are still required to have 6” of Strike-Legal surface extending from the end of the weapon down its length on any stabbing end for safety.
- Strike-Legal must be covered in a durable, opaque cloth. Unless otherwise noted, cloth tape is not an acceptable cover.
- Non-striking padded surfaces within ½” of a striking surface must still be covered with a cloth cover.
