geoffreym Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I'm putting the final parts together on my DREDD loadout and desperately need something that is like a collapsible baton used by the police, I've been using a lightsaber which doesn't feel/look right. It needs to extend to about 50cm and collapse to a minimum of 10cm. Price isn't really an issue, but I am desperate.
Russe11 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Pretty sure those would not be legal unless you managed to make a rubber one.
geoffreym Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 That's kind of the hope, training ASP's are not illegal, problem is that the only one I can find is in America and won't ship it.
Supporters Finius Posted June 29, 2014 Supporters Posted June 29, 2014 Try a LARP forum, you may even find instructions to make your own if noone knows where you can get one?
geoffreym Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Anybody know any good larp forums before I start applying for as many as I can find.

A point which many have complained about!

In that case, Planet replicas do a licenced Judges Baton (it's out of stock at the moment) which is more akin to the comic version in that it's not an extending baton. If you're intending to wear the costume out to events like MCM or LFCC you need to check the rules on weapons. If you have an extanding baton chances are it'll be metal so it'll be banned. Fixed batons need to be soft and/or flexible too (hence the PR one has a plastic core sleeved with closed cell foam).

Not really that interested in cosplay, it's a skirmish loadout primarily, I think I might have found someone who uses a carbon core which breaks into 3 pieces if hitting someone with any force, but no guarantee that it'll see the light of day though.
geoffreym Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Just for anybody else if they wanted something similar, already ordered mine www.niton999.co.uk/shop/product_view_Expandable-Training-Baton_code_ULT01.html Lozart 1
