Facts
In season 1, Clay Krueger made the most kills for the team with 16 while Benedetto made the most game wining plays with 5.

Andrew Barley was knocked out the most for Armed Response with 14 outs.

Clay Krueger is among three people in season 1 to receive a yellow card, other players being Kel Watrin of Curve of Steel and Krystal Cartwright of Sumo Storm.

David Benedetto became famous for creating the Spin Move throw which he used in all three seasons the show has been around, and Art Spiegel from the CPA's even did his spin move in both seasons he was around, but never used it in the same match as Armed Response.

In Season 2, David Benedetto became infamous for forcing a delay of game against the CPA by placing both dodgeballs on their side of the field and causing a member of the CPA to rush forward to prevent the delay only to be nailed by Benedetto. As a result of his actions a new rule change was made called the Benedetto Amendment.

Kel Watrin made the game winning kill agains Delta Froce's Lisa Marshall by knocking the ball out of her hands before the regen countdown finished.

Armed Response's biggest rivalry in the history of extreme dodgeball has been with Ink Inc./Detroit Spoilers where they lost to them in Season 1, but won consecutively in close matches in the subsequent seasons.

Armed Response is the only team in Extreme Dodgeball to appear in all three seasons, while Benedetto is the only player to have remained in the same team since Season 1.

Even though Armed Response appeared in all three seasons of Extreme Dodgeball, they are also the only team to have a trifecta performance with a championship victory, a finish in the semi-finals, and being eliminated before the playoffs began.

Danno Kingman and David Rice are the only members of Armed Response to have won a championship, but never remain part of their original teams in the following season with Kingman going to the Denver Hurlers and David Rice going to the Detroit Spoilers.

Danno Kingman became the first and only substitute player to return in a following season.
