This article showcases futuristic and fantasy props that could enhance your airsoft gaming or cosplay experience. It's part of the Fantasy Airsoft Gear series.
Axes are just popular, because there is a huge following in the medieval fantasy genre and the zombie survival genre. Even if all the World of Warcraft players and all the Walking Dead fans are to quit tomorrow, there will still be a huge demand for axes as cosplay prop. That means you have tons of foam axes to choose from.
If you want to go modern or a little more futuristic, take a look at the Tomahawk Bayonet (above right) that attaches to your airsoft rifle via Picatinny rail. In a pinch, you can hold the airsoft gun by the shoulder stock and swing--actually just softly tapping in airsoft games--it at zombies.
The long length of most foam axes are quite effective. I've been to CQB airsoft games, where a player with two medieval axes "chopped" everyone down as he ran through the field.
