My son and I have learned a bunch about swordplay. When you own the Fury, you have to divert or step out of the way of the Maurader...it's so heavy that you just cannot really block it. To attempt a full block usually means to allow it to power right through, and boy does THAT thunder come down!
On the other hand, if you own the Maurader, you can't just raise it over your head and beat down on the other guy. He'll step to the side, then smack you twice in the ribs before you can ever recover. Boy does THAT smart.
We both love that you can FEEL it when you get hit. There is NO DOUBT about what was a good blow, and what was "just a flesh wound." On the other hand, no bruises have ever been dealt, excepting some heavily bruised egos.
If you love good, safe combat play with a hint of reality, and no squirming out of what really did or did not constitute a good hit, get some Nerf swords and have a go. Everyone will know who got tagged, and who was unscathed when they watch, because someone will yell "Ouch!" or "Hey!" Or "Time Out!"
My son has set aside the light sabers, his three year favorites for combat, in favor of the Nerf swords, and I bet you would too! Just don't get too cocky only because you have the big ol' Nerf Marauder. We could teach you a thing or two when facing that off against a Nerf Fury.
