past 2 months because i have moved and been starting my own realm
anyways I saw that claws were banned flat out now I understand that
banning them was for safety and not wanting it to turn into boxing and
other such things but I feel with a few regulations that could be easily
avoided and still keep them a fair weapon to use and the way that it would
be built as to where it should be safe.
First off the basic build of it it would be 2 squares of pipe using joints one
would go around the wrist and the second would be up the side of the
hands and across the back of the hand and all of this would have to be half
padded. For the blades they would be 2 clubbed daggers with at least the
outer layer and tips as open cell foam. Instead of having normal handles
and such they would be attached to the pipe joints and bonded in place
such they would fit into joints on the sides of the box around the back
of the hand. Then from the same spots that the claws them selfs attach a
piece cloth would going through the pipe and around the hand for a strap.
I also see how they have the potential to be dangerous from the amount
of force that can be generated from a full force punch with it, but arrows are
still aloud even though they are very dangerous because of the unpadded
shaft and notched end of them but they are still aloud. Not to mention the fact
that I keep on seeming to hear about the broken noses from Javs though part of
that is the amount of weight behind them though I saw that there was a large
discussion about the weight limit on them and nose breaking posted just before
this.
Another thing is the regulations I would suggest placeing for them
1. Tip of both clubs must be open cell foam. and outer layer is suggested as well as open cell.
2. Only one claw may be used at a time in any official matches like with shields.
3. No other class 1 or 3 weapons may be held in same hand as claw is in.
4. When holding a claw if you are struck on your palm or underside of your fingers you are to take it as a bare arm shot even though it would technically be hand on weapon. So put simply no grabbing another persons weapon blade.
My last point in this is that these would be mainly a secondary weapon for red
fighters for if they lose an arm or for close combat I tried to take out any loop
poles that would be in this weapon, tried to make it a fair weapon and to make it
a safe weapon still. Thoughts on this please tell me. I am also making it because I
feel like it but it shall not be used unless approved once done i will post pics of it
on this thread. The picture it drawn by my girlfriend it is of the basic build of it.
