(On the left) Simple LARP musket without the caplock mechanism and a plastic bayonet as a placeholder. First prototype. (On the right) Finished LARP Springfield 1861 musket with wooden bayonet and caplock mechanism to accept percussion caps

Wooden hidden blade prototype 1. Simplified mechanism is durable and easy to replace if broken. Blade is short but lethal. Slightly bulky but can be concealed under a loose jacket sleeve.

Prototypes 2 and 3: Philadelphia Derringer for indoor LARP

Made two versions, so one can be used without the percussion cap. Cannot be used for self defence for it is inefficient at inflicting any pain.

Successful prototype 1: Patriot percussionlock bandgun. Uses weighted rubberband loops as ammunition to avoid lethality of using a real firearm. Can be used for self defence and for LARP, as it uses toy caps on the nipple to simulate the sound of a percussion pistol

I have a name, but i would rather not share. Im not significant to the world i live in, only to those who know me personally. All i could say, is that this is where i will be keeping tabs of my craftsmanship. To know how far i have come as i age, slowly dying of consumption and time. You may call me many things, but i mostly prefer Maharlika, tagalog for gentlefolk. I am a Filipino, but not proud of my nation. You would understand if you step into my shoes. For now, i will be working on my first project within the confines of my home in quarantine.
