Heavy Combat Weaponry

Consists mainly of rattan weapons created to resemble all manner of medieval tournament or melee weaponry.

All heavy weapons are created of rattan, strap tape and duct tape, with a few exceptions (pultruded fiberglass for the shafts of spears and rubber axe heads, for example). Regardless of construction, weapons of the same class are considered to perform the same (for example, there is no difference (in our activity) between a Mogul saber and a Roman gladius).
