Core

This refers to the structural base of the weapon to which padding is affixed.

  1. 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.
    • Hollow cores should be sealed at the ends.
    • Sharp edges should be blunted so as to not dig into the padding.

  2. 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.
