Hand Grenade

It's not holy, but it does the job

You first found a Hand Grenade while scavenging. Some soldier had it stashed in her pack, unused against the invading dead. She wouldn’t miss it, so into your own pack it went.

The only thing is, you aren’t really sure what the Hand Grenade does! You expect that it will create an explosion--but there’s only one real way to find out. You won’t miss your chance to use it if the need should arise.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Hand Grenade is a realistic looking grenade designed to be used as a throwing weapon in a post-apocalyptic world. Whether it contains shrapnel, sleep gas, or disorienting smoke, there is one thing for certain: this hand grenade is extremely useful!

This Hand Grenade is available in black, and is sculpted and handpainted to look like heavy metal. Its 7.5 cm diameter fits great in the hand, with a realistic safety pin detailed on the top. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Hand Grenade will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your LARP kit.

HISTORY

• Commonly used for centuries
• Used during the 21st century to negate an opponent’s cover
• True grenades might contain explosive fragments, sleep gas, or smoke

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, while you’re on the move, 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 Baseball Bat tucked away on a shelf behind a few flat footballs and basketballs. You give it a few test swings, liking the balance. It will suit your needs nicely.

This Shovel Ain’t Made for Diggin’

Dark Moon’s Sapper Shovel is a 60 cm spade made from foam, handcrafted to imitate the Russian MPL-50 entrenching tool for your cosplay or LARP needs. This particular military shovel would have been used not for digging, but for close quarter combat (and sometimes as a cooking tool or paddle)! Their wood handles were polished--not painted--and shaped to perfectly fit in the hand, minimizing the danger of fighting in wet conditions. Our imitation captures this same gritty, dangerous feel.

Constructed from EVA foam around a solid fibreglass rod, this Sapper Shovel is finished with a durable layer of latex to prevent shredding and to give it a realistic, smooth surface. The handle is carved and hand painted to look like real wood grain, while the head has a nice rusted, dirty looking finish.

 The shovel’s head is not actually useful for digging or cooking, but it is great for hitting zombies at your favorite post-apocalyptic game! It includes fine, realistic details like nail heads and overlapping plates. Use this improvised weapon against grease gangs, walking dead, and radioactive insects--and look authentically cool in the process.

An Essential Russian Tool!

• Entrenching tools were used in ancient times by Roman legionnaires to dig ditches around their camps
• The Sapper Shovel, also called the MPL-50, was invented by a Danish officer in 1869
• The MPL-50 was used by the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and beyond for close combat

You take refuge in an abandoned police station, looking for a new weapon. Most people have thought the same thing, because the place is picked clean. You are lucky, however, as you stumble upon an overturned desk. Beneath the mess you find a Combat Knife wedged in the head of a decaying zombie. You pull the knife from the now unanimated corpse, taking a closer look at the knife. It’s a good find.
