Weapon check instructional video

As a leader of a realm that is geographically disconnected from the other nearby realms, I feel it would be very helpful if there was a step by step video of how to do a weapons check.

Not only would this help immensely with safety, it would probably decrease the likelihood of my realm's weapons failing at events.

If there is a video of this already, please post a link to it. Thank you so much.

The problem with a weapon checking video is that you can't feel a video. There are some things that you could demonstrate like the template test, or foam separation, but a lot of checking is done by how the weapon feels. You can't tell how hard is too hard from a video, or separate a tip that is about to fail from one that has a few practices left in it. The only way to learn how to check weapons is in person from someone who knows.

Yes, I see your point.
