Pipe Sap – White – 16IN – LARP

Improvised Weapon Proficiency

Dark Moon’s White Pipe Sap is a 40 cm latex pipe, handpainted to look like steel with a worn, white finish. This improvised short weapon goes beyond a simple metal pipe, with intricately sculpted details to give it a realistic appearance. Fine sculpted tread embellishes each end of the bar and a 7 cm external coupling is fitted to the top like a small mace head. Comfortable 12 cm long suede leather is wrapped around the bottom, providing a secure grip when the gore is too thick.

Post-apocalyptic plumbers looking for piping material are advised that this item may be better for fighting than crafting. The White Pipe Sap is not hollow, but is constructed from EVA foam around a solid fibreglass rod and a strong kevlar core tip. Safety is important and incorporated in this design–because we don’t actually want you to hurt your friends dressed up as amazing zombies! It is finished with a durable layer of latex to prevent shredding and to give it a realistic, smooth surface.

When You Run Out of Bullets

• An example of a weapon you might find after the world-as-we-know-it ends
• Used as protection when you’ve inevitably run out of bullets for your gun
• Pipes are straight cylinders typically used to move liquids and gases, and require fittings such and elbows, tees, and couplings
• An ironic weapon of choice for many LARPers who have built boffers with plumbing supplies over the years

MAINTENANCE

Read our ‘LARP Weapon Maintenance’ article HERE!

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the ‘Weapon Maintenance & Repair’ section.

‘Larp Inn Weapon Lube – Silicone Spray’ is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel – NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
