@SxyNightmare any way you remember the website? I would like to get a link. it might be a youtube violation. dunno.

If I used a thin metal shield, would it hold up as proper protection to a swing from this? I have to have a fight scene for a play, and i've been looking around at some prop weapons.

[epicfantasy]

@beatlesfan831 Yes, I think it would hold up against this medieval flail.

It would also be helpful to compact tissue paper into the spikes so they don't dent. if you're going for realism you should have left the handle wooden and painted the ball and chain silver.

@AlexTheAverageKid Thanks, you are right. Good suggestions.
