LARP Modular Spear Ying Dreki Megin (180/210/240 cm)

LARP Modular Spear Ying Dreki Megin (180/210/240 cm)

Appearance and Inspiration

This spear features a functional and elegant design. The head (50 cm long) has the shape of a leaf-shaped blade with a prominent central ridge, with a finish imitating dark, aged metal. This shape is versatile and suitable for a wide range of characters and settings. The shaft has a realistic dark wood texture, completing the overall impression of a high-quality and reliable weapon.

Key Features of this LARP Spear

• Versatility (Modularity): The system consists of the spearhead, an upper pole section, and a lower pole section with a butt cap/counterweight. The parts can be easily connected and disconnected using high-quality 304 stainless steel screws.
• Portability: Thanks to its disassembly feature, the spear is easy to transport and store, solving the common problem of transporting long polearms to LARP events.
• Cost Efficiency: In the future, you could potentially purchase other compatible head types and use them with the same set of poles, effectively giving you multiple weapons for less money.
• Adjustable Length: We offer different lengths of the lower pole section that can be freely combined with the upper section and head to achieve total lengths of 180 cm, 210 cm, or 240 cm, meeting the specific requirements of various LARP events and rulesets.
• Durability: The use of high-quality materials – PUR foam for the head, hollow rods with a core of carbon fibre or fibreglass, and stainless steel screws – ensures strength and long-lasting performance.
• Safety: The head is made from durable and safe Polyurethane foam and is equipped with a high-quality security flex tip which reduces impact pain and enhances safety during thrusts (always adhere to the rules of the specific event!).
• Comfort and Balance: The head features a thinner fibreglass core to minimise impact pain, while the main pole sections use thicker cores with a tapered internal structure (at the joints), providing excellent balance, handling, and comfort during use.

LARP Context and Interesting Fact

The spear is among the oldest and most widespread weapons in history and fantasy. In LARP, it allows for safe distance control ('reach'), fighting in formation from the second and first ranks, and is effective against many types of opponents. Thanks to the modular system, this modern LARP spear is also easy to transport, which every travelling warrior will appreciate!

What Is the Spear Suitable For?

This modular Ying spear is perfect for:

• Characters such as foot soldiers, spearmen, guards, or hunters.
• Fighters in formations who utilise the weapon's reach.
• Players who need to adapt the weapon length to different environments or rules.
• Characters in various fantasy and historically inspired worlds (e.g., medieval, ancient).
• Players looking for a reliable, well-balanced, and safe polearm.

Care for the Replica

To ensure your modular spear serves you reliably for a long time:

1. Head: Treat the foam head regularly with silicone oil or spray to maintain the material's flexibility and resilience.
2. Connections: Keep the screw connections clean. Check they are securely tightened before each event.
3. Storage: Store disassembled or assembled in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Protect the foam parts from prolonged pressure.

Safety Instructions

• Use Safely: Even though the head has a flexible safety tip, always fight with consideration for your own safety and that of others. Adhere to the rules of the specific LARP event regarding the use of polearms and especially thrusting techniques.
• Pre-Use Check: Before each use, check the tightness of all connections and the condition of the head and pole sections. Do not use a damaged weapon.
• Intended for LARP: This replica is intended for LARP combat with other padded weapons. Do not use it against hard objects.
