Hello again Saberforum. Here is review number 2: The Standard Issue Battle Staff v3.
Tech Specs: Lithium Ion setup, standard solid coupler, 2 solid pommels, 32 inch Heavy Grade blades.
Color
I chose Blazing Red and Consular Green for the two colors since I wanted complete my collection in terms of the three core colors.
The Blazing Red looks way better in Midgrade blades so I use those on it and the green looks great in heavy grade and especially in Ultraedge.
The colors are just great. Blazing red really is a true red and green is more and more impressive the more I see it. It is a lighter green, but I love it.
Color: 10/10
Battery config:
The batteries in sabers that don't have sound are way easier to change. The wires can be put under stress if no care is taken when changing the batteries, but overall no problems. The only problem is that since the hilt is more empty, the batteries can make noise when moving around inside the hilt whenever you are using the saber. Even when I use the Velcro strap that came with the battery packs, it is still difficult to get the battery packs to stay still.
Battery Config: 9.5/10
Hilts/blades.
The hilts are very nice and fit well in my hands. I have no problem with the hilts at all. The hilts are also very light weight, ideal for dueling. That's Aluminum for you. The blades are nice and well lit, they can take some punishment too. They can scratch and are hard to make look new again after heavy dueling, but still very impressive blades.
Hilt/blades: 10/10
Coupler:
It is a stock coupler that is solid. However it keeps the blades together very nicely and when the hilts form the double bladed lightsaber, it is not even noticeable. Great!
Coupler: 10/10.
Overall: 39.5/40: Perhaps it gets a higher grade because it is way more simple than an obsidian saber, but I have no problems with these sabers at all! They are great and never annoy me! Very good purchase. My only advise: maybe choose 24 inch blades since the saber gets very tall!
Again an A for a grade.
Here is the green half. Sorry I have no pictures of the red side or of it together. I will gladly take them and put them up in this review if they are requested! Thanks for reading!
