Sapper Shovel

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

HEEEERE'S JOHHNY!

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 take refuge in an abandoned fire 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 an intact Fire Axe. Giving it a few test swings, you find that you like the weight as it cuts straight through wood. It might be very useful.

DETAILS

The Axe head is attached to an 85 cm long handle, designed to look like wood coated in black paint.

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.

HISTORY

• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle

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.

... Ouch!

Use this brick to convert your enemies into the foundation of your next corpse pile. Made from foam and latex, it's also the perfect option for when you want to throw a brick at someone but still be friends after.

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 only an empty gun you’re defenseless.

You take refuge in an old hardware shop, looking for a new weapon. The place has been picked clean. That’s when you spot the pile of old bricks with a dusty and crooked ‘for sale’ sign. You pick up one, liking the weight. It will be good to have while you search for something better.

DETAILS

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.

Your Broad Axe sends a goblin clear off his feet, landing in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. So much for supposed alliances. They have learned too late that betraying an Orc of the Black Water would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

You adjust your axe, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. This one goes flying another fifteen paces.

The blade is well-supplemented with a Ready for Battle Wooden Shield, Sword or Dagger.

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Battle Axe onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

You spend a long time deciding what to name your battle axe. It has to be perfect--something that will cause fear in the hearts of your enemies. You originally took the axe from an executioner in the last village you visited, a man whose job was to chop off the heads of thieves.

Perhaps it was not the wisest idea to steal from such a person.

Still, it has a nice ring to it. Executioner.
