Bush Hook

There's a few ways to make sure your safe on the Dead Islands. One of the most effective combinations is having that bit of extra reach when you cut the Walkers' legs out from under them. Once they're unable to stay upright, they're much easier to deal with. But always make sure you're working in pairs.

Plants vs Zombies

Dark Moon’s Red Bush Hook is a foam gardening tool that looks more like an axe than something found in a gardening shed. A real bush hook might be used by homeowners against obtrusive and thick brush taking over their property--but why stop there? It’s also the perfect weapon against obtrusive zombie home invasions! It’s time to chop down some living dead like the unsightly weeds they are.

This 97 cm long Bush Hook has a 56 cm handle hand painted and carved to look like wood grain. It is attached to a long, axe-like head with a curved hook. The 39 cm long head has been painted to look like red painted metal with rusted and worn edges.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a 10 mm solid fibreglass rod and finished with a strong latex coating, this hook will be a great addition at your next post-apocalyptic Live Action Role Play (LARP) game.

Aim for the Knees

• A Bush Hook can also be called a brush hook, ditch blade, ditch bank blade, or ditch blade axe
• Considered a gardening tool used to clear thick undergrowth

Because sometimes you need to be subtle.

The trick is never to stay in one place for too long. Inevitably the undead will sniff you out of your hiding hole, and you’ll find yourself cornered by an endless sea of flesh-hungry abominations. Unfortunately your last encounter emptied the last of your bullets. With an empty gun you’re defenseless.

You take refuge in an abandoned garage, looking for a new weapon. That’s when you spot the Sledge Hammer tucked away behind a few old brooms and a broken mop. You give it a test swing, smashing through the remains of an old workbench. Nice. Very nice.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Sledge Hammer is a 90 cm long latex weapon that is effective against zombies and brutish raiders alike. The Sledge Hammer’s head is symmetrical, reaching 18 cm long with two 8 x 8 cm faces designed to deliver a fatal blow to your enemies. Sculpted and handpainted to look like metal, the head is attached to a dark wood-coloured 80 cm long haft.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your post-apocalyptic kit.

INSPIRATION

• An example of a weapon you might find after the world-as-we-know-it ends
• Used as protection when you’ve inevitably run out of bullets for your gun
• Sledgehammers are often used in destruction work, breaking through walls and masonry

Did you see some Turtles?

The vast wastelands are dangerous, and so you are armed to the teeth. Guns, knives, and even a chainsaw are kept handy should the specific need arise to use them. Your favourite, however, is your Sewer Shield.

The large piece of metal is practically indestructible. It’s a tried and true way of protecting yourself from your enemies, and it makes you look especially tough being able to easily carry such an enormous weight.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Sewer Shield is a realistic looking latex manhole cover, designed to be used against raider bullets and zombie claws alike. The Sewer Shield is sculpted and handpainted to look like heavy metal, with two fat iron chains running through it. In the center of its 60 cm diameter, the word ‘STORM’ is carved on the face.

Wear this Riot Shield left- or right-handed with the use of four versatile leather arm straps on the back. Feel confident that this hard EVA foam and latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

HISTORY

• Manhole covers have been used since Ancient Rome
• Designed to keep unauthorized people and objects out of the sewer system

The Lead Pipe - Large Has been Discontinued 

Right! Let's bash some noggins!

The undead have found your hiding hole, and you are nearly cornered by an endless sea of flesh-hungry abominations. You’re barely able to escape, but not without losing your gun. You’re practically defenseless.

You happen upon a junkyard. It’s an area that gives you the creeps, but you’re desperate to find a new weapon. That’s when you spot the Lead Pipe sticking out of a pile of refuse. You pull the metal free, giving it a few test swings. It will suit your needs for now.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Lead Pipe may lack some sophistication, but it makes up for it with plenty of weight and impact. This 52 cm long latex pipe is handpainted to look like tarnished metal. A sculpted tread at both ends of the straight bar serves as a grip and an attachment to a 5 cm long bend. Though not hollow all the way through, the lead pipe is hollow at the ends to add to its realistic appearance.

Plumbers looking for piping material are advised that this item may be better for slaying zombies in the post-apocalypse than running water to a sink. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your post-apocalyptic kit.

You happen upon a junkyard. It’s an area that gives you the creeps, but you’re desperate to find a new weapon. With a little creativity you salvage an old 4 x 4 plank and a few nails, turning it into a Nailed Club. Giving it a few test swings, you like the weight. It should serve you well.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Nailed Club is an apocalyptic classic. Sculpted and handpainted to look like a 4x4 wood stick, this 85 cm long latex club has a 20 cm handle wrapped in soft brown split-leather. The end of the club is sculpted to look like nails sticking out of the wood, dangerous for zombies and people alike.

The Toolbox Classic

Epic Armoury’s Claw Hammer is a 55 cm foam imitation of an everyday workshop hammer, typically used for driving or pulling nails from wood. Hammers like this have been used since even before the 1600s--specifically seen in an etching from 1514--so it’s perfect for fantasy and modern post-apocalyptic LARPs alike.

Made from foam around an 8 mm solid fibreglass rod and coated in durable latex, this Claw Hammer is safe for your next game or children’s theater production. It is designed to provide only light force to your neighborhood friendly zombie, unlike its metal and wood counterpart.

The Claw Hammer has a 48.5 cm grip, hand painted to look like real wood grain, and a 19 cm head that curves into a V-shaped claw. The head is 5 cm across and is also hand painted with a metal-like finish. While it is great as a carpenter’s prop, we also feel this product works as a great impromptu weapon against radioactive beasts and raiders! It’s always handy to have something like that lying around.

A Woodworker’s Tool

• This LARP weapon resembles a true, two-piece claw hammer
• The claw of a real claw hammer is curved and forked to help pull nails from wood
• A framing hammer is another type of claw hammer similar to this one, with a larger head and straighter claw

Dig UP, stupid!

It’s About Survival

Epic Armoury’s Folding Shovel is a 60 cm spade made from foam, handcrafted to imitate an entrenching tool used by the military and survivalists alike. Entrenching shovels like this particular model have been used since WWII, and were considered a necessary part of a soldier’s equipment. They were even considered ancillary weapons, sharpened and used in close quarters at the Battle of Stalingrad.

Constructed from EVA foam around an 8 mm solid fibreglass rod, this Folding Shovel is finished with a durable layer of latex to prevent shredding and to give it a realistic, smooth surface. The 39 cm handle is carved and hand painted to look like real wood grain, while the 31 cm long head has a nice army-green metal finish with worn edges.

The shovel’s head is not actually foldable, but it includes fine details to give the impression that it can be! It is also reinforced to keep the head of the shovel from breaking, despite heavy use. Use this improvised axe against raiders, zombies, and radioactive rodents--while maintaining an air of ‘practicalism’ thanks to its multifunctional nature.

A Tool for Military Strategy

• Entrenching tools were used in ancient times by Roman legionnaires to dig ditches around their camps
• The entrenching tool was designed to fold easily for transport, and serve as both a shovel and a pick
• Entrenching tools were also considered a weapon and were often sharpened by soldiers in WWI and WWII

- Foo Fighters, Monkey Wrench

We Can Fix That

Epic Armoury’s Green Monkey Wrench is a 50 cm tool designed to imitate an adjustable wrench typically found in any old workshop. Made with materials that are safe for your next live action roleplay (LARP) game, keep this Monkey Wrench at your side when fighting in the post-apocalypse. After all, just about anything can be used as a weapon against the walking dead! This wrench is a great option thanks to its convenient size and shape.

The Monkey Wrench has a 24 cm grip, painted green with rust spots, and a 25 cm head with a metal-like finish. It is sculpted from EVA foam around a 6 mm solid fibreglass rod core, and is coated with a strong layer of flexible latex to prevent it from shredding--and to give it a smooth, glossy surface! The wrench’s jaw is not actually adjustable, but it includes fine details to give the impression that it is, reinforced to keep the head of the wrench intact despite heavy use. Since it might be the only thing standing between you and your enemy, we figured you’d want this wrench to be a reliable and effective ally.

A Mechanic’s Tool

• This LARP weapon actually resembles a pipe wrench, a common mix-up made by non-tradespeople
• We love the term for a ‘monkey wrench,’ and learning about fun hoaxes regarding how it actually got its name
• Monkey wrenches are also called gas grips in the UK

I tell you off in the facts like Ralph and Ethel

- Theme for Lucille Ball

We Are All Negan...

Dark Moon’s Wood Barbed Wire Bat is a foam baseball bat that has been given a rather formidable upgrade. Designed to look like a wooden bat with barbed wire wrapped around its end, this is the ultimate weapon for a post-apocalyptic fighter. Whether you’re instilling fear in the hearts of your minions, or taking out hordes of zombies, ol’ Lucille has got your back.

This 80 cm long Barbed Wire Bat has a 17 cm handle wrapped in soft brown split-leather, and also features the typical baseball bat knob at the end. The rest of the bat is hand painted like wood grain with faded colouring, with metallic strands of wire and flexible barbs around the end.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a 10 mm solid fibreglass rod and finished with a strong latex coating, this bat will be a great addition at your next Live Action Role Play (LARP) game or Negan cosplay.

For Hitting More than Home Runs

• This bat is similar to the weapon used by the villain Negan in the post-apocalyptic comic and TV show, The Walking Dead
• An example of a weapon you might find after the world-as-we-know-it ends
• Used as protection when you’ve inevitably run out of bullets
• Many modern bats are made from aluminum and are capable of hitting a ball harder and faster than a wooden bat

Crates shall always remain the real enemy

And think of all the fun things you can get up to with a crowbar!

The enemy’s front line is impenetrable thanks to their shield wall. Fighting has become a stalemate, both sides pushing, but neither able to gain even an inch. That’s when they call for you and your legendary Halberd.

You arrive to the front amongst soldiers that are exhausted and bloody, who regain their energy when they see you at their side. With a fell swoop your axe cuts across the enemy line, beyond their shields and into their ranks.

The tides of battle begin to turn in your favor.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Halberd is a 190 cm latex poleaxe inspired by a weapon used during the late medieval period. The Halberd’s axe-like head has a 35 cm blade for chopping, a long spear for piercing, and a claw-like spike for grappling. The axe-head is specially reinforced to make the weapon durable and versatile. Handpainted and sculpted to appear realistic, detailed metal and bolts run along the pole, which is carved to appear like worn wood.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Prominent during the 14th- and 15th centuries
• Term comes from the German words Halm (staff) and Barte (axe)
• Typically designed to keep mounted troops at a distance, but was considered versatile
• Spikes were added to the hammer’s head to grapple mounted opponents

Enough is enough. You’ve been pushed too far, and you will no longer take such abuse from power.

The king has raised taxes once more, leaving you and your family hungry. Alongside other farmers like yourself, you’ve fashioned your own Battle Scythes, prepared to defend your land and your kin the next time the king’s men demand more than is owed.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Battle Scythe is a 190 cm latex poleaxe inspired by war or military scythes. Featuring a curved, single-edged 45 cm blade and a long wood-like staff, this hand painted and sculpted scythe is a weapon for any mercenary, revolutionary, or dangerous farmer. Small sculpted details, like grommets attaching the blade to the staff, give this poleaxe a particularly realistic look.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your Battle Scythe LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• A normal scythe would have been used as a farming tool, but a curved blade repurposed as a weapon on a staff was also used
• War scythes were constructed as a defensive weapon against cavalry
• A common weapon used in peasant uprisings

As your grandaddy once preached, give a fool a pike and he’ll defeat a trained, but foolish horseman. Give a trained fool a pike, and you’ve just defeated an army.

With this in mind, you decided to become a master of the Pike Pole. No one on horseback or any weapon of short stature dare run you down for fear of their lives. Your grandaddy would be proud.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Pike Pole is a 90cm spear designed for infantry, inspired by both the glaive and pike. It features a long bladed spearhead with a clawed spike, sculpted and hand painted to look like real metal. The head is actually made of soft foam, reinforced with a harder foam core. It attaches to the hand painted shaft, textured to look like dark wood. The grip is shorter to allow for better close combat.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 10 mm fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP spear will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your Defiant kit.

HISTORY

• A true pike would feature a spearhead without a blade or claw
• Pikes and bladed spears often competed in length to outmatch opponents
• Was not historically great in close combat, but this version has been shortened to be more wieldy on the battlefield

The chopping tool was favoured by the men of the islands. Whilst true that it lacked the finesse of a smaller, handheld knife, it did provide the stasifaction of cleaving through the shining armour of the men that arrived trying to take their land.

A Powerful Chopping Blade

Epic Armoury’s Panabas is a 140 cm long LARP sword inspired by the southern Philippines. Featuring a forward curving 75 cm latex blade, the Panabas is a tribal weapon that is great for your Ruinous character! Handmade and hand painted to look like real metal and wood, it is made out of soft EVA foam around a 12 mm solid fibreglass rod core--chosen for its durability and safety. It is coated with latex for its smooth appearance and to minimize shredding.

The Panabas is sculpted to look like a long, axe-like blade that has been heavily notched from war. The 37 cm handle grip is textured like a real wooden staff, with the suggestion of leather binds around its ends. It’s perfect for orcs and barbarians of all sorts.

Inspired by Filipino History

• A unique weapon unique to the southern Philippines
• The real weapon ranged in size, and produced a cleaver-like wound
• The hilt was often made from hard narra wood and wrapped in braided rattan
