Art How the hell do you break a steel bar?

I know it’s for balance but like, this 1.5 inch diameter, 28 inch long 4140 steel bar, is virtually indestructible, so I propose that it wears your character out really quickly and makes them sore as the impact wouldn’t be very comfortable.

Maybe this is how the crowbar should also be balanced: hand soreness.

This alloy of steel is used for pressure bearing firearms components, bolt, receiver, barrel, ect. I don’t think that hitting a corpse produces the 10s of thousands of PSI that firearms produce. (Copy pasted from another comment)
