It's not real chainmail, right? Just some fabric done up to look like chain? And the big leather belts are for absorbing the 'kill' strokes right? Also, what's in the weapons to make 'em spark like that?

I get that, and I'm no metallurgist, but iirc, sparks thrown from steel or iron are cherry or maybe yellow-orange. The ones from the swords are bright yellow or white, which puts me in mind of those magnesium strips the high school teachers burned. Plus, the metal looks shinier and overall 'brighter' than what I would expect an iron-carbon steel sword to look like, even when polished.
