Chainmail has become popular on the battlefield, protecting soldiers from sharp blades and arrows. But you are clever. A soldier in chainmail has every reason to fear you, because metal ring armour will do nothing against the blunt force of your Ready for Battle Mace.

While you might be one of the thousands of soldiers on the field, you are still considered a skilled threat with the help of such a mighty weapon.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready for Battle Mace is an intimidating 60 cm latex mace designed to fit a wide range of settings, making it a good weapon for a new warrior looking to make his way. Its long square grip is 55 cm and ends in a 20 cm four-flanged mace head. The spiked flanges are detailed with beveled edges and negative space near the haft, its upper 8 cm spike shaped slightly longer than its lower companion.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Flange would have been designed to penetrate armour
• Maces were first designed to cause harm without penetrating armour due to the force of their blows
• Commonly made of iron, but also occasionally copper and bronze
