Construction and standards of Thrown Weapons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"example<\/a>
example of a throwing mace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After constructing a few throwing maces, I got some good hands on experience, and wasted a little money, but in the end the ones I made need to be disassembled. \u00a0Alas the Schedule 40 PVC I was using exceeded the PSI but didn’t conform in other ways. It doesn’t remain flexible enough and can shatter. Thanks to Godai and Otto they have set me on the right path.<\/p>\n

I want to share that information with you all now.<\/p>\n

Siloflex: A brand-name polyethylene tubing made from PE3408 resin and conforming to ASTM D2239 standards. The material is approved for various uses throughout the rules in pressure ratings ranging from 75 PSI to 200 PSI. Please check the standards in the appropriate area of the rules for what is allowed.
\nSiloflex equivalent: other tubing or pipe, typically made for drinking water applications, made from polyethylene resins with the ASTM classification of PE 3408 and produced to the ASTM D2239 standard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was the mojo I needed! If you do a search for ‘ASTM D2239<\/em>‘ suddenly you get tons of hits. Try doing a search for ‘Sil-o-flex<\/em>‘… [crickets chirping].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"siloflex_pipe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 1″ Pipe I’m getting in lengths so I don’t have to straighten it out. The inner 3\/4″ pipe is in a coil, but I have to worry less about the straightening as it will be inserted and glued inside the 1″ pipe.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps others who find themselves on the path to making thrown weapons! Now that you have some technical specs to compare, it will make using any other comparable product easier to find!<\/p>\n

Perhaps Ill save one of these PVC maces for martial classes for the ‘how to fail’ section!<\/p>\n

Cheers friends!<\/p>\n
