The upgrade were intended purely for the feather fights at heavy events (I know the armour is overkill for that but it would be reliable!). I am getting very tempted to throw it at the champs. By the time they roll around I should have a second feather for if bad things were to happen from all those spinners. I may reinforce the scoop a bit more first though with whatever hardox scraps are left. A vertical hit upwards on the scoop would probably rip it off.
