FLAG LARP Weapon Creation

So is this regulation? I make mine for my group differently.

u can get some at (home depot)

Yes, pool noodle has the hole in it, but the hole is 1/2″, meaning that you can get 3/4″ pipe onto it, but not only will you have less padding than if you shoved 1/2″ pipe in it, but it is an immense pain in the ass to get on, and to take off if you have to for whatever reason. I am pretty strong, and my arms ached like a bitch when I finished a quarterstaff boffer using 3/4″ pipe and pool noodle.

flag is a kind of larp, larp is a general term like “video game”, flag is a specific one.

OMFG YOU FOKING NERDS!!!!!!

Try using a cloth sock instead of duck tape

they reason you cover it length wise is so your not smacking anybody with a Duct tape club of death

Well whne I lived in california I used to get my pipe sticks at another place. And they handled real well. I guess it depends on where you live.

I wouldn’t say impossible – so long as you didn’t use rubber insulation (which WILL hurt like a monkeybitch when hit) but foam instead, but it certainly isn’t easy since the most commonly available wall thickness is 3/8ths wall thickness. 5/8ths is less common, but very good for ultralite – and standard for NERO if I remember correctly. Getting foam insulation thicker than that, you’d have to look at places with considerably colder climates.

“I did not use the water noodle. I used actual pipe insulation foam tubes”

Problem is, finding them in the right wall thickness is damn near impossible, plus noodle is cheaper usually.

Honestly when I created boffers. I did not use the water noodle. I used actual pipe insulation foam tubes. Now I woudl prefer a sword that was more realistic. Not the silly round look. But in a pinch the round silly ones will do.

You Yanks are WAY behide in your LARP kit. Guys take a look at the LARP in Germany. Type in ‘Conquest LARP’ in Youtube and look at there form weapons lol

First of all, PVC instulation is impossible to use safely, you would have to triple layer the blades, which would be the same thickness for a pool noodl;e.
