Recently I did stumble across a LARPing forum where they were discussing how to make realistic looking latex weapons and there seemed to be a great deal of knowledge in the US about the various foams and rubbers to get the best looking weapons.

The US? When I was LARPing (5-6 years ago, at least. Please don't remind me of my dark future

) we used to laugh at the weapons used in the US since they looked more like a baton than a sword.
To give a hint on what kind of latex weapons is used in Swedish LARPs check here: http://www.svartakatten.com/sortiment/latexvapen.htm
Fighting is really horrible though, since weapons have basically no weight at all. Swedish LARPs are also often not combat-oriented but social-intrigue-roleplay-oriented.

And no, I will never, ever, ever go back. I prefer hitting people in the head properly
