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

Dark Moon’s Fire Axe is a versatile weapon, popular in the post-apocalypse. Designed to look like a real fire axe, this latex replica weapon features a red chopping blade and a sturdy spike on the reverse side. The axe is 92 cm long, with a 13 cm long head and 10 cm straight edge blade. The 10 cm long reverse spike curves back like a claw. 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
• Fire axe’s primary use is to break down doors and windows

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

... Ouch!

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.

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

As DJ Tiesto may have once or twice said with Sevenn: "Boom"

BOMB’S AWAY!

Epic Armoury’s Hand Bomb is a very realistic looking mockup of a 17th Century cast iron gunpowder based grenade. Appealing with its slightly cartoonish appearance it can be used as a throwing weapon whether you are LARPing aboard a pirate ship or rogueing in the forest. The 7 cm. wide bomb is available in black and is sculpted and hand painted to look like cast iron; furthermore, it sports a faux cotton fuse that has been dipped in black latex to avoid splitting strands. Its small size diameter fits great in the hand and makes it easy to throw. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Hand Bomb will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your LARP kit.

Please note: Do NOT light the fuse on fire! It will possibly damage the product and the warranty will not cover.
