Foam Boffer Sword
The workhorse of full-contact battle games: a padded core sword built to be swung hard and safely.
What to look for: Thick, even padding and a thrust-safe tip, and always check your game's minimum padding and length rules before buying.
Latex LARP Sword
The realistic-looking sword for light-touch and theater games: molded latex over a flexible core, painted like real steel.
What to look for: A length that suits your height and fighting style. Budget for silicone maintenance spray; latex dries out without it. Most combat games require latex weapons to pass a safety check.
LARP Bow and Foam-Tipped Arrows
Archery is real in LARP, with low-draw bows and padded arrows that get inspected one by one.
What to look for: Draw weight at or under your game's cap (often 30 lbs at 28 inches) and arrows with proper padded heads. Arrows are consumables; buy spares.
Foam Spear and Polearms
Reach wins battles: a padded spear or glaive lets a new player contribute from the second rank on day one.
What to look for: Generous padding on the head and a flexible shaft. Confirm your game allows two-handed polearms and their length limits.
