	'''Metal weapons groups''' is an old term used to describe ''reenactment'' groups or societies that recreate [[ancient]] and [[medieval]] [[combat]] using [[weapon]]s made of [[metal]], rather than using alternative materials, e.g. [[rattan]] ([[SCA sword]]s), foam (a favourite of [[live roleplaying]] groups).

	The term is falling into disfavour amongst reenactment groups due to its inference that the only activity available in these groups is combat. Other terms used to describe reenactment groups include ''living history groups'' and (in [[Australia]]) ''medievalists''.

	The combat rules often require more care with respect to the speed, placement and strength of each blow due to the danger involved in using metal.

	==Variations==
	In the [[UK]] reenactment society [[event]]s are primarily a [[battle]] reenactment with a [[living history]] encampment also present. These events are usually open to the public. The [[US]] seems to follow a similar pattern.

	[[Australia]]n reenactment groups follow a slightly different pattern.

	Events are usually closed to the public and run primarily for the reenactor. The event might be for a single group, a group and a selection of others or it might be open to all.

	Displays are specifically for the public. There are some larger displays now that incorporate multiple groups, but for the most part they are usually run by just one group (two if they are closely linked).

	==Example groups==
	===United Kingdom===
	* The English Civil War Society
	* [[Far Isles]], The Company of the Motley Wolf
	* The Medieval Siege Society
	* The Sealed Knot
	* The Vikings

	===Australia===
	* [[Fire and Steel]]
	* [[Grey Company]]
	* [[The Huscarls]]
	* [[NEMAS\|New England Medieval Arts Society]]
	* [[New Varangian Guard]]
	* [[Pike and Musket Society]]
