You’re not very good with a gun. Missing an eye, your aim is terrible! That’s why you rely instead on your Ripper Chainsaw.
This recycled masterpiece keeps all of your enemies at bay--with just one clean sweep you’re free to be on your way (regardless of whether or not you can see the path).
DETAILS
The Dark Moon Ripper Chainsword is a 60 cm LARP weapon crafted to look like a modified chainsaw welded inside a sword casing. We all know that when the world ends, you’ve got to get creative with your weapons! The one-handed handle is shaped and painted to look like coiled metal, accommodating a firm, comfortable grip, protected by a dangerously bladed handguard.
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 for your post-apocalyptic inspired kit.
INSPIRATION
- An example of a weapon you might find after the world-as-we-know-it ends
- Designed with the understanding that even a cool zombie-killing chainsaw eventually runs out of gas--but can still be very useful
- Used as protection when you’ve inevitably run out of bullets for your gun

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.

We're not quite sure if this is a shield, or just a door that's been cut to size.
With a triple position grip on the back you can hold this in whatever way you find most comfortable as you cower from a clobbering behind a shield that should be able to entirely cover all but the very tallest of fighters.
Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.
Your squire straps your Large Shield tight onto your arm over the weight of your chainmail, and with a prayer to your god you and your small unit strike out onto the road.
Criminals be warned.
