Bullets	Bullets can be any foam dart that would fit in a foam dart blaster.
Arrows	Arrow packets must be >= 8" end to tail, with a brown cloth tail. You may not use heavy foam arrows. Carrying arrows or arrow packets requires that the carrier prominently display the packets or, preferably, carry a prop quiver on their person. The packet itself need not be brown, but may have a brown streamer as the tail.

Foam dart blasters may only be modified cosmetically. You may not install or upgrade any mechanical parts on your blasters. Blasters may not use batteries to power their loading or firing action and must use either a lever, hammer, or slide/bolt action to chamber a round. Derringers may use pulls, and rifles may use a barrel break chambering action. The weapon must require chambering between each trigger pull.

Thrown Weapons - Do not need to be tagged, but should be shown at check-in if they are not packets. Any character may use a thrown weapon - no skill purchase required. Thrown weapons do 1 base damage and are not affected by Augment.

Dynamite - A special item crafted through Gunsmithing/Ammosmithing 5. To use Dynamite, hold the Dynamite prop in both hands and call: "Lighting Dynamite", you may switch to only one hand after the call. Make an audible 3 count of "Burning 1, Burning 2, Burning 3", then remove the sheath (if there is one) and throw the dynamite at the ground with a bit of force. The discs should shatter apart. Call "4 Fire". If it fails to explode, you may reset the prop and use it again.
