Dos Flail. I was actually going to make one for the group myself using this tutorial -- http://dagorhir.com/HowTo/DagorhirFlail.html

Sweet :)
I do like that my "chain" is like 18 inches rather than 8 though lol
I've gotten pretty good at judging distances/range with it, so i'm not too afraid of it wrapping around someone
but either way, ill start making some more weapons :) LARP ON!

Yeah fair enough. Maybe we could try another one with 18" chain, but use the foam to make "chain" around it. It would give me a lot of piece of mind. And it'd hit a little harder. It was kinda hard to tell. For me at leasts.

We could easily lol,
but i'm worried about the foam rings on the chain hindering its ability to swing properly as a flail should

Well I just have this vision of you accidentally wrapping someone around the neck, and trying to yank it back for another shot on somebody else. I think if we give the chains a 1/4" space between them, it would still swing around. Probably closer to an actual flail as well, because they sure as hell didn't use string. they used metal chains. Hah.

4.2.5. Morning stars and flails:
4.2.5.1. Flail heads must weight a minimum of 4 ounces and minimum circumference of 16 inches measured on separate axes.
4.2.5.2. The end of morning star must follow the 2 1/2 inch rule.
4.2.5.3. The maximum chain length is 6 inches.
4.2.5.4. The rope or cloth of the flail chain must be covered with segmented foam (rings) to reduce risk of the chain wrapping a weapon or limb.
4.2.5.5. Morning stars and flails are always blue weapons regardless of length.



Just the rules from Belegarth/Dagorhir. We can modify them for sure, but safety is pretty important. I would say the foam chains are necessary.

your right, impaling someones neck would not be good
I'll probably start building a new one soon, but it will take me a while to get money for supplies
I'll be careful until then LARP ON!

I know I sound like a hard ass, but I don't want to have to drive anybody to the E.R.
