Strike-Legal
From AmtWiki
(Redirected from Strike Legal)
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.
