Below is a list <strong>of</strong> terms that will be useful to know<br />
when constructing a weapon. These terms detail<br />
sections <strong>of</strong> the weapon and what they are used for.<br />
Thrusting Tip<br />
A thrusting tip consists <strong>of</strong> at least two inches <strong>of</strong><br />
open cell foam padding beyond the end <strong>of</strong> the pipe<br />
insulation. If the foam tip is too small, opponents<br />
could get hurt with a stiff thrust. If the tip is too<br />
large, it could easily break <strong>of</strong>f or fold over,<br />
making it useless. All thrusting tips do count<br />
towards the weapon’s overall length. No thrusting<br />
tip should be longer than its diameter. The tip<br />
must collapse about 50% <strong>of</strong> its length when<br />
pressure is applied. The tip should also be the<br />
width <strong>of</strong> the weapon, and should not easily fit in<br />
an eye socket. Weapons with two possible striking<br />
ends, such as a staff, should have thrusting tips on<br />

both ends. For weapons with heads, the thrusting<br />
tip may be incorporated into the head design.<br />

Blade/Shaft<br />
This is the section <strong>of</strong> the weapon that is above the<br />
grip <strong>of</strong> the weapon. Blade/Shaft lengths <strong>of</strong><br />
weapons can be determined by measuring from<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> the grip to the end <strong>of</strong> the thrusting tip.<br />
The Blade/Shaft area must be continuous 5/8”<br />
closed cell foam.<br />
Head<br />
Some weapons, such as a polearm, hammer, or<br />
spear, have an additional element(s) added to the<br />
weapon. The head(s) extend outwards from the<br />
shaft, must be a minimum <strong>of</strong> 6 inches in length<br />
along the shaft, must be made <strong>of</strong> open cell foam,<br />
and must be at least 1 inch thick or thicker. Each<br />
head can be a maximum <strong>of</strong> 2 cubic feet. The head<br />
must be positioned near the top <strong>of</strong> the weapon.<br />
