Feautred Emulation: Axe

The Axe Emulation

The SATR3 live-action gaming engine has more than 350 emulations.

Today we're going to talk about the Axe emulation. This is a classic Fantasy weapon.

The Axe is for a melee weapon.

It is designed to work in combination with a LARP prop baseball (don't use a real one!)

A motion-activated trigger needs to be attached to the prop.

As a melee weapon, the Axe has unlimited ammunition but only allows for Semi-Automatic attacks (one swing for one attack). 

What does that mean in practice? 

The player must swing their bat to activate an attack. There's no rapid fire with a bat!

Of course, gamers can swing their Axe an unlimited amount of times. The Axe emulation will always be able to inflict damage (as long as they hit the target!).

Melee weapons have no muzzle flash.
