So after my first durabilty test, I decided that there needed to be a PolyC vs. PolyC durability showdown.
Having gotten the plague (I was sick as hell anyway), I had a friend of mine take my MHS and his MHS over to his brothers house and duel.
If you remember from my first test, the PolyC utterly destroyed the MR, and only the top came off. Well I went and got some hellish super glue, and now use that for new tips.
Anyway, the following link leads you to the outcome of what happened between two of Tim's PolyC blades in an all out "I am going to kill you with a plastic tube" fight.
Both of our hilts were undamaged of course. However, my blade broke off down inside the emitter and at the tip. His blade just broke and snapped off at the end. The test ended with a running happy gilmore style swing.
Without further ado...
(If you're on dialup it's gonna take a while, the pictures are high res and enormous to show detail)

My closing thoughts? These blades are kick ass for dueling, and kick ass for show. If you are a frequent hard dueler, my suggestion is to get one solely for dueling, and one solely for show. That way you can beat the crap out of the one and not care if it gets scratches. Also, if it gets broken, saw it down and keep using it! Then if you're going into public and want to show off your bad ass saber, slide in the show blade and off you go!!
EDIT: I've got a nice 113mb video of the test, but due to some younglings using foul language you guys don't get to see it! hehe
