Keep in mind that each Ren Fest/Fair and LARP (such as the SCA) has their own rules about weapons. Some, like the SCA, allow all period weapons so long as they aren't used for combat and special care is taken to ward off accidental injury. Others, like the Great Lakes Medieval Faire, will allow peace-tied and otherwise temporarily useless weapons. And, some, like the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, don't allow weapons at all. The last group would be LARPs such as ARGO, NERO, POLAR, etc. which only allow bopper weapons.
