a Question regarding a vendor (and shorter wasters)

[mikel duffy]

ok i have used [url]rentoys.com[/url] for cheaper wasters but have seen nothing about them via search and wondered if they would be a good company for cheaper wasters the reason i ask is about 5-6 months ago i got 2 short swords and both are still going strong at $20 each with NO MAINTENANCE wheareas my hickory longsword for $45 was obliterated within at MOST a week but as i was typing this i just thought of something : was it the fact that the swords were shorter that gave them more durability ??? because i have ordered 2 longswords (before having this "epiphany" of course) and wondered do shorter swords last longer?

Pretty much, yes. I've seen a lot of broken longsword wasters in ARMA, but I don't know anybody who's broken the blade on a single hander. I have one with a cracked handle at the narrow point of a wasted grip, but that's about it. Greater length increases the stresses when you hit stuff, pretty simple physics.
