Cog Bat

A BETTER VERSION OF A BASEBALL BAT

If you are hoping for any chance of survival in this dark and godforsaken world, you need to have your defences ready and your weapon at hand at all times. Use the things you find when scavenging to make optimized weapons that suit their purpose, so that whether you are fighting off zombies or protecting your property from strangers, you will be able to defend yourself. Dark Moon’s Wood Cog Bat is the better version of a baseball bat that can hit more than homeruns. Designed to look like a painted wooden bat with a big old cog wheel fastened to its top, this is the ultimate weapon for any post-apocalyptic fighter.

This 87 cm long Cog Bat has a 17 cm handle wrapped in ragged burlap and leather strings and features the typical baseball bat knob at the end. The rest of the bat is painted a bright yellow with faded colouring and an impressive metallic gear fixed with metal mounts right smack on top.

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 futuristic or post-apocalyptic LARP game or cosplay.

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
• Many modern bats are made from aluminum and are capable of hitting a ball harder and faster than a wooden bat

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

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

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

People fantasize about what kind of weapons they'll have after the apocalypse happens.

They should really be wondering what they're going to do about the piping situation...

Smash it with a Hammer!

Dark Moon’s Steel Pipe Hammer is a 65 cm latex and foam pipe, shaped into an improvised bludgeoning weapon. This product is handpainted and intricately sculpted to look like steel with a worn, rusted finish. Fine tread embellishments paired with a tee fitting and end caps give the pipe its hammer-like shape, featuring a 23 cm long head perfect for undead headshots. Comfortable suede leather provides a secure grip, wrapped around the bottom 15 cm long.

The Steel Pipe Hammer is not hollow, but is constructed from EVA foam around a solid 8 mm fibreglass rod. This design is ultimately made with safety in mind. It is finished with a durable layer of latex to prevent shredding and to give it a realistic, smooth surface.

More than a Pipe

• 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
• Pipes are straight cylinders typically used to move liquids and gases, and require fittings such and elbows, tees, and couplings
• An ironic weapon of choice for many LARPers who have built boffers with plumbing supplies over the years

Crates shall always remain the real enemy

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

Chainmail has become popular on the battlefield, protecting soldiers from sharp blades and arrows. But you are clever. A soldier in chainmail has every reason to fear you, because metal ring armour will do nothing against the blunt force of your Demon Slayer mace.

Your fellow soldiers gave your mace its name after your first battle--a battle which sent the enemy running in terror like demons faced with the wrath of a god. You feel rather god-like wielding it, come to think of it.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Demon Slayer is a solid latex mace for the vigilant fighter ridding the world of unnatural dangers. The mace has eight narrow and jagged flanges, each about 32 cm long. Handpainted detailing gives the mace-head and haft a realistic matte steel finish. The 16 cm handle is wrapped in split-leather for a solid grip, connected to a sculpted pummel to match the head.

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

• Flange would have been designed to penetrate armour
• Maces were first designed to cause harm without penetrating armour due to the force of their blows
• Commonly made of iron, but also occasionally copper and bronze

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.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Baseball Bat is a stick designed for hitting home runs…if you can find any in the post-apocalyptic wastelands. This 85 cm long bat has a 30 cm handle wrapped in soft brown split-leather and has the typical baseball bat knob at the end. The rest of the bat is metallic with a green tint, fading to black with the words ‘Dark Moon’ painted in deep red letters.

Grandparents looking for Dark Moon Baseball Team merchandise for their kids are advised that this item may be better for slaying zombies in the post-apocalypse than hitting home runs. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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 post-apocalyptic kit.
