- Rigid Cores
For weapons that require or allow a rigid core, the best materials to use are carbon/graphite rods (such as from non-metallic golf clubs), kite spar, bamboo, PVC tubing, or fiberglass. Other materials will be checked for safety on a case-by-case basis.- Metal and wooden cores are prohibited. Metal may be used to counter-weight weapons provided it is permanently attached and not in a place that may inadvertently strike another player.
- The ends of any rigid cores should have a flat face and be sufficiently capped with a layer of foam and tape at minimum to prevent the core from pushing through.
- Hollow cores should be sealed at the ends.
- Sharp edges should be blunted so as to not dig into the padding.
- Non-Rigid Cores
For weapons that require or allow a non-rigid core, the best materials are foam (any), denim, sweatshirt material, loose rubber bands, etc.- Unacceptable cores include: Solid rubber, tightly-wrapped rubber bands, tennis balls, etc.
