Fun hammer fact: it’s called dead blow not because it’s supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor

I think you missed the reasoning behind the “dead” part.
If the hammer doesn’t bounce when it hits, it’s not as lively, and lands like a dead body.
