I was told about a new site he was working on where I could possibly get his weapons.

Here it is: http://pirates.larp.com/events.html

I sent him a message about his weapons but still no reply.

Ben got out of the weapon making business for personal reasons, and despite many requests, he has refused to return. One of the LARPs I attend bought out almost all of his remaining stock last fall when we found out he was closing his doors for good.

Well I cant post a link to the rules system doc that I'm working on as it's set to invite only. (dont want any one stealing my ideas before I get the game rolling) but if you're interested in checking it out send me a PM and I'll invite you. Do bear in mind that it is still very much in it's infancy.

Also, for LARP weapons without equal I recommend ironliege.com. I've bought a few weapons from him now and when my new game takes off will likely buy more.

Iron liege makes nice looking weapons. If you can afford one, and if you are willing to wait until they get around to you, You can get a nice looking weapon. Many LARPs don't allow them because the thrust tip is almost non existent, and they are really hard. Also they are latex weapons, which means once anything happens to one they are useless, as they are really hard to repair, unlike foam and tape boffer type weapons. I have seen folks spend the hundreds of dollars they charge for them to have them get broken before the end of the first event of use, and I have seen them get turned away because they don't pass a games safety check in, but they are pretty.

My friends and I had been experimenting with Nerf zombie as a game type and the idea to take it a step further and turning it into a simplified Larp came forth. I started browsing various Larping sites and rules.

What I discovered was this: http://larpsupply.com/_wsn/page5.html

Many Larps use these guns as opposed to Nerf.I just wish the site hadn't closed down so I could get my hands on some. Has anyone ever encountered these? If so do any of you own one personally?

I'd love to buy one or more, they seem interesting.

I own a couple of the full sized crossbows, one of the pistol crossbows, and I think I still have some of the actionball guns somewhere. I have been using them at various LARPs over the last five years. All work well, and have held up fine over the years. The only one i really don't like is the small crossbow, the dowel that the "arrow" is guided by is too small for the "arrow" and it tends to roll around / fall off.

It's a recycled GI Joe footlocker without the tray. I have seen these around at flea markets, all with the plastic hinges split. If they haven't done anything to strengthen the hinge, don't bother with them, they wont last more than a month before they start to split, and then all you will have is a box that won't stay shut.
