What about with weapons?!!!
if the kids were brain-warped motivated, like 5-year-olds on PCP / Dr. Evil psychokids, then 30 is a fair bet. many more if not: they will all cry after a few blood-curdling screams and you show them an eyeball or two. if you get to pick out of 5x the number then 30 again. there are some strong enough to hurt you if you aren't big.
but, suppose each child is motivated and gets a very sharp one-inch knife. then i think it's more like 20.
and, suppose you could pick any weapon, but each kid gets the same weapon. what would you choose (if anything)? I would take a 35-pound spiked elongated mace or a 45-pound broadsword.
