"Some people enjoy playing combat games on video systems"

Yeah, Carl, they're called GAMERS.

My favorite part is when the guy is using the hammer like a hammer but not.

So glad you filmed a foamsmith and not an injection mold!

The strip of fabric could also be kevlar or other durable materials. Doesn't need to be as big, either. Each company does it differently.
In the UK; a wood handle would never be accepted, it tends to be foam wrapped in leather or an injection mold (as shown)

How it's made, makes this look so quick lol.

When making something not metal look like metal with paint (especially shiny metal like chrome), a smooth undercoat of gloss black makes it look so much more like actual metal.

[pandaguan]

Does it need to be a marble rolling pin?

[jessiepayne]

What kind of foam did they use to make this sword?

[WendyLifeStudioTube]

I love see the latex sword fantasy like videogame Live Action Movie!!! 🥰😍

[DeltaPhoenix]

[sephiroth]

I like the Modest Mouse shirt the person painting the hand guard is wearing. So much for trying not to film copyrighted material. Lol.

[AlphaSierra]
