So, I got to thinking, the other day, as I am apt to do, about a way to simulate combat in real life, but without all of the dying and injuries. And, I'm not talking about electronic simulators, like video games. And, I don't mean paintball, either. I mean actually running around fighting people in real life, with real deadly weapons, like swords and bows and, hey, why not flamethrowers. The only problem, with this is, as I mentioned, people tend to get hurt and die, when you hit them with swords and burn them with flamethrowers. So, I was thinking, why not design a suit that can protect the wearer from all of these things, but, still make the wearer feel as if they are actually getting hit (You know, without all the pain, and suffering, and crying for your mommy.). Sort of like Iron Man or the flamethrower guy from Lethal Weapon 4.
Since, I have no idea where to even begin on designing a suit like that, so does anyone have any ideas?
Oh, also, In these death fight battle, things (I have yet to come up with a good name.), I don't think that regular guns (Like, assault rifles and hand guns) should be allowed, because it wouldn't be as much fun as hand-to-hand combat, though I guess it's a matter of preference. I would like help in deciding what weapons are allowed, and what weapons aren't.
