ok this my be a dumb question for you guys that have done these before, but since i have not please bear with me. what qualifys as a Foam or Soft Plastic Melee Weapons?
i only ask this because i do Renaissance renactment fighting. and in doing said events i make/use a line of padded wepons. my favorate being my war hammer, it consists of a foam yoga block and soft foam kick board outer layer wraped in 3 color camo, the shaft is grey pvc (we dont use white because it shatters if hit wrong and leaves sharp eges, where grey just bends and folds over) i also put a fun noodle on the shaft just below the head about a foot long so that i dont accidently smack someone with the pvc pipe. i under stand that my hammer would probly need to pass some sort of inspection to make sure it is safe and wont cause damage. i do have confidence that it would pass, i have been useing variations of this weapon for longer than ive been playing airsoft, and ive been playing for almost 10yrs. fyi, i use these hammers in unarmered combat, no helm or cup, and ive yet to cause anything more than soreness, and then it was only when i was going full bore and it was one of my buddys that we dont pull shots on each other. im going to assume that kendo sticks arent considered soft melee wepons since they are made out of bamboo and hurt like hell wen you get hit with them. id also like to ask about full auto gas pistols, i got a 18c and a mac11. and wat about sniper rifles, i got a kjw m700. sorry for my ignorance in these matters, but this will be my first event with these kind of rules.
thank you for your time.
opps, one last question (at least i hope so)
what are the limitations of engagement with the zombies? how much are we allowed to fight back to avoid getting "bitten"? abviously we dont want to hurt anyone, but just cause i get ganged up on i dont want to just take it in the keester and get my flags yanked.
