Show me your weaponz!!

[Elyk]

HOLY $#!T man!! I LOVE THAT SWORD!!!! So, how bad did it suck to use?

HOLY $#!T man!! I LOVE THAT SWORD!!!! So, how bad did it suck to use?

I assume that you are referring to my 10 ft sword. It was heavy and a little awkward to swing, but when you get a good solid hit it has a good chance of knocking the target on his back. The stabby tip was useful, making the sword like a very heavy, unusually long spear.

I would like to mention that (if you really were asking about my sword) your question would probably have been better suited to the "10 ft Red" thread.

[Sleeper]

Awe, I could still leg, at least, someone.....probably one of my own allies though........happened more than once.

Yea I was. Crazy huge sword.

[Zzyzx]

Just finished this spiked mace up tonight. Big props to Bhakdar, he was the first person I've seen make a mace with random jagged spikes in it - I stole the idea from him.

The weight on this is 20.1 ounces, balance point is 12.5" from the pommel. It is blue/green.

[Vokor]

and yes we start them very young in the horde!

[Luink]

This is basically my new sword that I bought off of my friend and re-built..... It's a huge difference than using my flail, but I'm going to try with it..... It's really hard to change from a flail to a sword, eh?.... I can do it though..... I also have a shield, but it's in my friend's car, lol..... It's also more of a challenge for me to fight with the sword..... I love it, lol..... Unless I get mad..... Then I'll bring out the flail for a bit..... Hopefully soon, I'll be able to pwn with the sword as much as I did with my flail.....

[Faolan]

Luink I picked up that flail at practice, it weighs about a third of what my flail weighs.

That is a nice sword tho'

[Luink]

Yep, but it wont be light for long, lol..... After we remake the heads, that is.....

[Sir_Mel]

if I can ever figure out how to set up this image thing on here, I'll try and take some pics of my: red ax, parry dagger, curved short sword, and my unfinished strap tower. So yeah, be prepared for awesomly cool stuff.

[Ejike]

My Scimitar....
And my....other one...(what's a sword like this called?)


they're both red, I just need to work on my blue sword-making skills...

[Faolan]

That scimatar is pretty sweet. Is it PVC?

[Ejike]

yea, they both are-- 3/4"

[zug_zug]

here is my red sorry the pic's are so blurry

[Magpie Saegar]

here's all my stuff (finally took pictures of it all):

http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/ ... equipment/

[Sleeper]

*, ZugZug's red looks more useful than mine! lol And Magpie's crosshilts look cool as hell to, not to mention sturdy, mine fall off after a few good body checks.

[Magpie Saegar]

That's because my crossguards are double-core (fiberglass) wrapped and taped strongly on either side of the main core, subsequently padded like pommels.

:-D

They are very sturdy (and still plenty safe).

[Jarlaxle]

Thats one badass scimitar Ejike.

Added: Magpie, your weapons look very nice, the coloring is sweet, and everything is shaped awesomely.

[Elyk]

Yup. VERY nice scimitar

[Ejike]

thanks dudes, though you might not be able to tell from the pic, the blade's kinda crooked. So I'm still in the learning process....

[Faolan]

If I can borrow my friends camera agian I'll put pics up of my new weapons.
I made this sweet curved sword out of PVC but it is a little heavy.

[Ikeno_Dathorion]

my fav weapon is the red goblin balde and the sheild weighs every bit of 10-30 lbs

[Luink]

Heck, once I get my pwning flail done, I'll get a pic up with my sword, my flail, and my shield.....

[Magpie Saegar]

Ikeno, I really like the design of that first sword you posted (with the red cover).

It would look a LOT better though if you covered the duct tape with black grip tape... or, if you had to, with electrical tape or AT LEAST black duct tape.

:-D

I like your pics.

[Sleeper]

His sword was very elaborate, but his shield, it seemed heavier than my sword! You could ground someone with that monster! lol

[Tulio]

Props to your first sword you posted Ikeno. I think thats one of my favorite ones i have seen.

[Black Cat]

I'll have to post my first sword, The Disarmer, on here if I can ever get my digital camera replaced. It is a basic blue/green sword, but it has a tendancy to disarm an opponent's weapon (assuming it is a blue or blue/green weapon) if they block a hit from my sword at the wrong angle. The first time I had this happen, my opponent's sword actually flew about 15-20 feet away from the wielder.

I haven't weighed this weapon, but I am certain that there is no way in hell it'll fail weapons check for being too light.

[Ikeno_Dathorion]

Thank you all for the comments on my weapons and sheild
also i am going to put the black tape on the handle were the gray is just so you know. also the red one was given to me i didnt make it but it is mine so thank you and Aroodo sends his thanks about his weapons.

[Sleeper]

LOL the disarmer. My super red has done that a few times, but people have also disarmed me alot to, like this one guy who, instead of the routine block, actually swung his own red at mine, causing it to fall from my hands. And then you get these people who jump over a low swing, sometimes they make it, sometimes they dont...lol

[Luink]

Here is all of my gear. My shield, my sword and my flail.....

[Sir_Mel]

here's the ax I was talking about earlier:



my bannana sword:



My punch block dagger:



and here are some pics to my experimental weapon:

[Faolan]

You did a nice job on the Dagger S.A. But Black griptape availible at dunhams and walmart (in my opinion) looks better.

[Sir_Mel]

yeah, I didn't have any black tape at the time and I didn't really want to wait to finish it and it would be a pain to have to retape the whole thing. Also, just so everyone knows, I've already found out that the dagger in the links is illegal, so ignore those, However, I will be finding a way to make it pass in the future, just in case you were wondering.
Later

[Sleeper]

Why was it deemed illegal?

[Spork]

In the link, they said it'd be more of a punching weapon, and plus technically it's a "double-ended dagger." I think, but I'll leave the explaining to him.

[Sir_Mel]

It fails for these reasons:

1. The armguard portion is technically considered part of the weapon. As such, it is laying part of the weapon against a body part so if it is struck it is technically considered aniviling. So the armgaurd would have to be cut off at the wrist.

2. The stabbies are bit smallish so there is a chance that it could hurt to much.

3. It's a double-ended dagger which is an illegal weapon. In order for it to be legal it would have to have at least 18 in of rounded padding on each end of the weapon to make it a legal "quarterstaff type weapon". So basically, in order for it to be legal, it'd have to be about 40+ in long and have stabbies on both ends (already covered) and the hand guard could only cover up to the wrist making this a near impossible weapon to wield. However, if I widened the hand guard and made it a few layers thick (like a punch shield) I could have a punch buckler with 2 swords sticking out of it that is unbreakable but can't block arrows. And that is exactly what I'm gonna do...as soon as I get more foam.
Hope that clears things up.

Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, I put the guitar in the picture with the ax just so you would get an idea of how big it is. It's just over 48", probably 50" or so and it * near weighs close to 10/15 lbs. A very heavy weapon and a force to be reakened (sp?) with. And if you even dare to call a light on a shield strike, so help me God I will flat you upside your ugly mug.

[Teej]

Whats with that little curved blade Teedge? And are those swords pvc?

I love looking at new weapons!

Yeah all of my weapons are sch 80 except the small curved one which was crafted by Sir Bazil Brightflame of the Southern Marches. He made it with boiled water, and handle is quite nice too. It's two pieces of pvc making it a bit wider on one side as not to flat someone. Bazil gave the sword to me as a present for my child's birth. "Had to leave ww06 early cause my wife was having contractions, get home to find she was having a false labor damnit, lol."

Nice nursery decorations there.

Wow did not think the crib was that obvious:)

[Sir_Mel]

where do you buy your sch80 pipe cause I'd like to make some long, thinner, curved weapons but I don't want em to fail on flex. I've looked at all the local hardware stores but nobody seems to have some. Maybe I missed it or something.
Later

[Faolan]

I use sch40 (I think) and they don't flex at all. I guess it depends on how long the weapon is gonna be.

I wish that I used sch40 O.D. instead of I.D.

Has anyone tried it and does it work?

[Teej]

Try a plumbing-specific store. I get my 80's at Lowes. I hear they're at Home Depot too but I've yet to see them. And yes, I checked plumbing and only found joints not actual pipes so it may be just my Home Depot.

[Lister]

You can get sch 80 at Lowes or Home Depot.

It's called conduit for running wires but it's the same stuff. Just look in electrical instead of plumbing. It's usually grey.

[Jarlaxle]

That is one badass ax (of course I mean the guitar when I say "ax")

[Sleeper]

lol, this one dude mentioned to me about making a guitar shaped axe a few months back........I might just hafta try it out.

[Sir_Mel]

if you think my parker is an insane ax, check these out.











(yes I know this has nothing to do with foamsmithing, I just thought those that appreciate guitar would find these cool.)

Enjoy.

[debuenzo]

gotta love steve vai...

[Sir_Mel]

yeah, I just made a cool new sword and soon as I find our camera, I'll post some pics. Little did I know while I was crafting it and was informed later that it looks like Inuyashu's sword. I've only seen like one show, never really got into that so I don't know. I'll let you be the judge though.

[Sir_Mel]

also, about the sch80 pvc. I did see the grey plastic conduit in the electrical section but it seemed to be alot less strudy and more flexible than the sch40 plumbing version. I dunno, maybe it was a different conduit, I didn't look that hard at it though and didn't bother to check the info stamped on the pipes.
Later

[Faolan]

No you found the right stuff, grey pipe is used for underground conduit which makes it not a good weapon core ie not as durable as white sch 40

[Sir_Mel]

wa cha! Here's my cool new sword I was talking about.



It red, slightly curved, double edged, and it has a stabbing tip. It has now become my new favorite weapon.
Later

[Jarlaxle]

Nice...

But those guitars man, My favorite is the sniper one. I just don't see why to have 3 or 4 fingerboards, you cant play on all of them!
