Preventing Damage to Axe/Hammer Handles

[BATTLEMASTER IIC]

Well it seems that every time I strike a robot with a hammer or axe, the extenders they are mounted on take damage.  Now I would expect this to happen in real life as well, if you're swinging a hammer hard enough to damage an armored robot.  But this isn't real life is it :-D  Is there a way to prevent damage to the hammer's extender while swinging it?

I used to use the square extenders, but the red round ones seem to be more capable of taking punishment.  All are 120 cm in length.

The square and round extenders are the same. Same HP, same hit power required to break off (I.E: fracture) but the square extenders are heavier.

To 'answer' your question though - Why make a virtually realistic game (The glitches and some components holding it back) just to make it unrealistic?

Try making the extenders "curve", as in Sage's hammer bots. They will be damaged less.

Exactly what i was thinking... It's not really curved extenders, but a curved hammer arm.

Look at Sage's showcase, yeah.

Oh, it's actually possible? ^^;
