Besides a few magical weapons, Amtgard only allows non-explosive, non-chemical weapons that might have been in existence before 1650 AD.
Weapon Types
Below is a list of weapon categories and their construction requirements. See the Equipment Construction section for more information.
Projectiles
Except for javelins, projectiles may not be used to parry, block, or melee. There is no limit to the number that can be carried. All these weapons do one point of damage to armor and may be blocked by weapons without penalty. Rocks hurled two-handed will deal two points of damage to armor, but otherwise behave the same.
- Throwing Weapons - Throwing knives and axes, shuriken, etc.
- Rocks - Must be at least 1 foot in diameter.
- Javelins - Between 36 and 72 inches long and may be used as a thrusting weapon in melee.
Ammunition
Not explicitly granted to anybody, ammunition is a class of projectiles used in conjunction with other types of weapons.
- Arrows, Bolts, etc - See Bow and the Archer and Arrow Construction section for more information.

The next section of the 7.2 Rulebook is Equipment Construction
Player Notes
Chango on weapon guidlines:
I know almost all of you will look at these guidlines and say they are too restrictive and prevent you from building whatever god-awful contraption you think will actually work on the field. Just try and remember the rules are written as they are in order to protect you, the player, from the machinations of the lowest common denomenator of player within the game, you know, the guy that thinks spent .22 caliber rounds would make a perfect "granular core" for his throwing daggers, trust me, I've seen it happen.
