Focused on Actor Safety

Since 1990 Weapons of Choice has provided scary items specifically designed for STAGE USE. You’ve seen our fight worthy and costume props on the big and little screen, but my focus was always on the needs of live theater, so the stock was built with my most important client in mind – you.

[a note to my theatre tribe]

What do I do?

I rent and sell swords and firearms designed for theatrical use. Not film, not Ren Faires, not sport fencing, not collectors, not for weddings or costume parties. First and last – theatre.

Who uses Weapons of Choice?

Community theatres, Equity playhouses, opera companies, middle schools, universities, high schools, regional theatres and dance companies across the United States ….

Why do they use Weapons of Choice?

  • Practical weapons at prices that are unbeatable.
    • You will never again be able to purchase weapon props at such fantastically low prices!
  • All blades have rounded tips and dulled edges.
  • All firing guns are completely block-barreled.
  • A wealth of knowledge on period style, weapon use, and specific show requirements.

Dear valued clients,

As some of you may be aware, I will be retiring from most of my business in the coming months. However, you should know you that I will still be providing epee-bladed swords and blank-fire replicas for purchase and rental for many years to come.

My epee-bladed swords are designed for stage combat and are perfect for theater productions where realistic swords are required. Meanwhile, my blank-fire replicas are also great where the highest level of safety is a requirement. I look forward to continuing to provide these items as long as I can.

As for the items I no longer carry, I understand that many of you may be seeking recommendations for alternative vendors for your future production needs. While I would love to assist you in any way I can, I must be candid about my limitations in this regard. In my decades of providing you with the best possible products and services, I never had the need to engage with or even research others in the industry. As a result, I am not equipped to offer specific suggestions or endorsements for other vendors. I quite simply know nothing about them.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely, Richard Pallaziol
