and even some other homemade/ LARP weapons
Normally anyone older then 12 years old wouldn't really think anything of these swords unless they LARP (which I don't) But yesterday I decided while browsing through Toys R Us with my friends (for shits and giggles) I ran across the exact Banzai Samurai Dueling Sticks in the picture above and decided to purchase them. There was also a wide variety of nerf weaponry. Me and my friends today had a great time fighting each other with them. Since I only had 2 we rotated in and out with the loser of each match. We set up our own rules for our new game too.
Rules:
1. 2 shots to arms or legs and you lose or 1 shot to the body/neck
2. Head shots don't count unless the rounds judge says otherwise
3. Whoever is not fighting that round is a judge
4. To start round you touch swords then take 2 steps back before you can engage (to cut out the cheap shots)
5. Sudden death results in a joust where first shot wins
6. Score is kept in kill streaks not kills. For example if I beat 2 people then died. But then next time I went up I beat 3 people in a row. My score is 3 not 5.
7. The first 2 people to reach 7 points have a 3 round duel to decide overall winner
It was a lot of fun. While a round was going on however me and my friend Alex had a conversation about what we were doing. He said it was very similar to LARPing (which we both think is kind of lame) but I disagreed. What we are doing is in no way role playing. We do not have characters, don't dress up or really do anything that LARPing is. I think it is just a couple of guys having fun by beating the crap out of each other with foam swords. We plan on buying more misc. foam weapons and having tournaments in my backyard. I highly recommend trying this because it is a lot of fun.
So what is your opinion on this?
Have you ever fought with nerf guns or swords?
Do you think it is like LARPing?
Any ideas of other games / rules for our fighting?
I got kicked out of a 5 Below store for doing this.
Heh, this was the shit back in the day.
Only me and my buddies would use pipes and rusted, sharp pieces of scrap metal we found lying instead of these foam thingies.
I don't really think that's LARPing...but I saw a foam battle axe at Target and I kinda missed my childhood for a bit. Same thing with LEGO. I miss my old sets and the things I built randomly. So I don't blame ya. Especially being between 16-20 because you get the 2 things you always needed as a kid.. money, and a car. So you can always buy them yourself.

One time I stuck one of these [img]http://www.ziggytc.net/FOAM_SWORD.jpg[/img] in your mom's ass.

Ew :eek:
I wanna start a pro nerf team.
How bad ass would that be if I could use my modded nerf guns like they should be.
I keep picturing your neighbor looking in his backyard and seeing a ring of 5 teenagers cheering on a nerf foam sword fight

Same. We fought in between the stands and knocked a bunch of shit over. I felt bad and helped pick it up before I left.

It's fun.
:argh:
Or you could just take up fencing and use actual swords.

Funny part about that is my backyard is covered in snow so we had to fight in the middle of the street. (I live on the corner of a main road and a barely used side street) we fought on the side street and it is hysterical some of the looks we got
One time me and 3 of my friends went to target and had a major fight with those nerf ones.
OP, you should take fencing lessons.

I was going to but I can't find anywhere near me that does them.
And fencing swords aren't actual swords, they are more of poles. It is a lot different then real sword fighting they bend and isn't it all pokes and stabs?

Way to quote a giant post just to make a dumb joke about him being a larper, which he already mentioned he's not.
You forgot the poor man's foam sword: the cardboard tube.
Where's the lightsabers?! (they arent foam though, but still fun)

[QUOTE=Super_Poo;20357100]One of my friend lost his eye due to nerf swords[/QUOTE]
Seriously, or are you fucking with us? Do tell.
The Nerf Battle-axes really fucking hurt. Especially when your dumbass friend jumps off a shelf and slams it into your head with your back turned to him and gets both of you kicked out of Toys "R" Us.
Why use foam ones when you can use REAL ones?
[QUOTE=Sihav;20357791]Why use foam ones when you can use REAL ones?[/QUOTE]
Because that cuts people. This does not.
[QUOTE=zombiefreak;20358261]Because that cuts people. This does not.[/QUOTE]
Not if you unleash your SUPER ULTRA MEGA-ATTACK to slash their face off
They should have a master sword one, I still wouldn't buy it, but it would look cool.
Holy crap me and my friends were just at the 24/7 Walmart near my place beating the hell out of eachother with those nerf swords. I've never been kicked out of a place faster, either.

Also nerf battleaxes.

They even had these crazy long greatswords. Which hurt the most.
