Hmm, maybe the winner is the one who has the sharpest edge or point on their weapon to pierce the other one's suit.

In trying to determine how sharp a flamethrower is (not very sharp), I found the following image, which I thought may inspire new weapons or special factors:

That's one hell of a scenario there buddy.

Yeah, I was trying to determine how many fragments there would be, to determine the likelihood of a puncture with distance. Unfortunately there are a lot of different grenade types, and I became worried about googling specific technical info about grenades.

I think Ebolapox would want to charge Bwana and hit him as hard as he can with the tip of his flamethrower. Maybe squirt napalm on him, but I don't think it would do much, maybe obscure his vision a bit? Bwana would also charge, and maybe try to fling a grenade past Ebolapox and grab on to use him as a shield from the explosion. The trouble is, if their collision results in them spinning, Bwana would become the shield.

**Rain Man** · 07-31-2018, 02:16 PM

It would be kind of funny if the optimum strategy for bwana was to pull the pin on a grenade, throw the grenade away as hard as possible, and then try to stab ebolapox's suit with the pin, all while ebolapox is poking bwana with the barrel of his flame thrower.

This might be the only one I could have won with my lasso.

While we're not really sure how it happened, at the end of the match Bwana re-entered the space station and no one knows where ebolapox is. Bwana moves to Round 3.
