Argument over.
Weapon Thrusting Tip

If it's just a guideline, then it's fine the way it is. Some of you say it's required, and some of you say it's guideline, and THATs the exact problem.

~There will be book clarification.
~There will be 'Chapter guidelines' issued to make sure a 'Safety Marshall' knows what is acceptable and what is not.

As the WH safety marshall, and a weapon crafter that has had many a creation get sent back for more work by Wayne. I can attest that while there may not be a written rule in the book about concrete specs and requirements it that any weapon that doesn't pass muster will not be allowed in game. This far I think we have been really good about such things.

There is always the golden rule. Would you want to be hit with your own weapon by a larger person doing a 120 degree swing? Or a full arm thrust to the stomach? If the answer is no, than the weapon is not padded enough. When I make my weapons, I always design with the tought, is the weapon padded enough for my wife to take a hit with out complaint.
BTW, a 2" thrusting tip is just a good idea and truley should not go any loewer than that. If it does you run the risk of hitting a person with the tube itself when you trust. It hurts. Also, one should be checking their weapon tips on a regualr basis to make sure the padding is still protecting the tip. I have many weapons tips break down from use and require replacement.
Aka, just use common sense!

too bad theres not a mechanic for it, then everyone would have, so long as it was cheap, and always worked in thier favor, and was jank.

Wouldn't this topic be a moot point seeings as though thrown weapons have to be core less and there for have no need of a thrusting tip since the whole of the weapon could be considered a tip?

That's when there is no ALE!
