My design of a unique LARP weapon: Soviet Iron Fist (V1.0) With tough looks and as an unique device, as a weapon, also as part of the armor. Design with buffering LARP safe system to absorb the impact force during strike. Not only as a great fist weapon , but also as a combination of shoulder pad, arm and barcer. Attack and Block in the same time. Attack: Basically, this weapon will be designed to do 2 kind of normal attacks, straight punch and side swing, each strike way will trigger the buffering system to absorb the impact force so it should be LARP safe (double spring design will absorb enough force so it should even less harmful than a normal LARP thrusting spear) Block/Parry: With the external huge shoulder pad and 3-layerd forearm armor piece, it will become a very highly covered defensive surface with similar function as a ‘shield’. In this way, player can block a lot of incoming damage by raising the arm up to the right direction. (even can duel-wield 2 of this device, so both side got covered, and if player perform a X cross position with both forearms as defense state, then the front 180 degree will be mostly get covered) Special function/ Advanced technique: As this is a fist weapon, (duel-wielding recommended) it will be very powerful and efficiency for wielder with boxing training and experienced in other fist punching based martial arts skills especially with Chinese ancient martial arts such as Hong-Ken and Ba-Ji Ken (the two types of most hardcore, of large-scale cooperation fist based Kongfu in Chinese history) For those who most experienced and with master level technique on fist weapon, such as Kongfu master and high-monk, they even can transform and cohesion the ‘Qi’ power to the fist weapon, to generate kinds of powerful fancy attacks.(Image ‘Ha-do-Ken’ and ‘Sho-Yo-Ken’ in Street Fighter lol, be honestly, I haven’t seen anyone in real life reaches that level yet, only in games and movies ) Pros and Cons: Pros: - Fist weapon, unique way to use, enable lots of boxing and fist punching based martial arts technique. Can attack and defense in the same time, and, looks tough! Cons: - Short raged, must step in and do the attack, and may be bit cumbersome and swing slow if the player without high arm strength Future development plan: 1. Adding compressed gas jet system let the iron fist jet out some visible, safe gas when the buffering system triggered, as kind of steam punk element, for a very cool visual effect. 2. Adding small audio system, to make the sound effect when doing attack and blocking.(image the Kon-Ka- Gang machinery sound effect those huge robots made in the movie: Pacific rim ) This is my personal first try. Please tell me your thoughts, and waiting on the decision of the officers to approval it or not in SwordCraft. Hope you like it and this iron fist can get approval. Thank you.
