The present invention relates to a core element for a role play weapon, wherein said core element is the inner element in a role play weapon, and wherein the outer contour of said weapon is determined by the shape of the outer foam layer covering the core. The core comprises a rod covered by an intermediate foam material with a hardness higher than the hardness of the outer foam layer. Thereby, the core has both flex and weight abilities similar to a prior art thinner core while maintaining the diameter of a thicker core. A lighter and more flexible core will deliver less energy upon impact. With an intermediate foam material, such as PU covering a fibreglass Rod, it is possible to create slimmer blades as the core is protected under two layers of foam, i.e. the intermediate layer and the outer layer. The invention further relates to a weapon with such a core element and a method of making a weapon with a core element.
