'''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 it's 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. |
|||
Example groups: |
|||
* [[New Varangian Guard]] |
|||
* [[Grey Company]] |
|||
* In the [[Far Isles]], the Company of the Motley Wolf |
