(I apologies if this was crapy. it is my first instruct-able post and I built the weapon last year)- I will have more weapons to come in very good detail so keep looking. If you have any requests or questions please contact me at TheArmory12167@Gmail.com. I have been making LARP weapons for 12 years and do a fine job at it. So please do not hesitate to ask a question. I will respond to all emails, post and questions any of you may have as soon as I can
