Okay, buckle in gents, because I'm about to drop some science up in here.
Check out this s**t:
Chain Grades and Load LimitsMetal chains are, by far, most commonly crafted from steel. The lowest grade, thinnest steel chain (at a paltry two-tenths of an inch in material width), still has a load limit of
eight hundred pounds. And that is just the point at which the weld might begin to fail. Fully separating the chain requires even more force, and requires that the chain be
completely taut, something that is impossible when the subject of the grapple and the source of the chains are both malleable.
If a person, while off balance and grappled on two of his limbs, can use a lightweight, titanium-ceramic composite (which, by the way, is prone to simply shattering upon sudden impact) blunt pole to exert over 800lbs of force to a half-dozen steel chains in ONE SWIPE with his
off-hand, while they are actively whipping and snaking around to grab him, then truly, there is no point in continuing the GTB for any of us.
