Polycarbonate durability

This video was originally to show how well the new shouldered tips work but I end up showing it more to illustrate the durability of PolyCarbonate.

That is a 3/4" OD 1/2" blade (EL standard). The thick 1" Luxeon blades are even stronger still.

What king of ultra saber are you using?

[xwingband]

None. It's a non- lighting stunt that was specifically made for bashing. I don't buy or use ultrasabers products anymore. I've been building and making my own stuff for longer than they have and they don't offer anything I couldn't make myself.

You stink dude that costs money that you just wasted!!!!!!!!!!

[xwingband]

What costs money? The blade... it's like $10 and it didn't break. You can barely get a good meal for $10.

Are all Ultra Sabers PolyCarbonate?

[xwingband]

Yeah, luxeon sabers all use PolyCarbonate. The exception is the nylon blade I created.

Off-topic, but related:

During my infatuation with thermoforming (which I still intend to properly learn) I picked up some 1/8" polycarbonate plate. I strength-tested it with everything -hammers, axes, heavy objects dropped from great height, etc, etc- and was unable to break it. The most damage I ever did was with a 7.9g .177cal. pointed pellet at 1,000fps. It left a shallow impression at the impact point and a matching "bulge" on the opposite side.

No. You will not break it.
