Well, I sorta figure that, in the worst case, the use of excessive force would turn out like many instances of where people are pissed off and using more force than they would ordinarily. Any successfully landed blow with edged weapons turning into the "everyone stopping, realizing how bad of an idea this was and hauling my mangled body to the medics as fast as possible" thing. That and, really, I'm thinking the use of deadly weapons is more to try to herd me into the reach of people who can get by by just pummeling the hell out of me rather than outright slaying me... similar to how I'm using the blades to convince people not to pummel me.
... not that any of that is any *less* incentive to run away screaming like a little girl.
