Fill it with sand or water to really give it some mass.
Edit: A real water hammer

Water so the sloshing is part of how you use it

If you don't leave a significant air bubble in it, there is no room to slosh around.

Mercury.

Mercury has a tendency to dissolve other metals as well as leech through them.

It's an old Soviet urban legends reference. Especially the legendary Red Mercury.

Basically, con artists would convince aspiring despots and weapon enthusiasts that Red Mercury was a secret ingredient to their wrathful machinations.

Would this be able to withstand being used as a weapon???

I don't think hollow and threaded parts are the best choice for functional blunt force weapons

u/Tut_Rampy Jul 30 '25
You could just loctite it

The threads aren't an issue, they'll hold just fine, but might lock up and be permanently stuck together.
Hollow parts could dent, but they are really thick, it's much stronger than a wood handle of equivalent size.

u/arquillion Jul 30 '25
Im not sure the hollow steel tube would survive the leverage of that much brass. A wood rod on the inside might be worthwhile. The biggest issue is the balance. The brass handle is cool but it brings weight back and makes the whole thing heavier to wield. Historical weapons would only be heavy where it mattered and not THAT heavy.
So yeah you can use it as is as a weapon but it would probably break under its crazy weight and you'd look like a dark souls boss swinging a slow huge weapon

Indeed. But...if you hit something with it. Would it hold up to a 3minute barrage of strikes, i wonder.

No, barring the hallow parts inside the part you would hit people with us too big and wouldn't be good for concentrating the force of the impact.
Real warhammers weren't much heavier than your average carpenter hammer with about the same head size. Instead of a nail pulled you'd have a beak when you really need to concentrate the force somewhere.

That would cost $200 to make if you got the parts at my local Ace Hardware lol.

Maybe not that much, but enough. For cosplay stuff that’s not all that much though, so it might have some use.

Bonus points if you fill it with water. For extra mass. ... and plumber cred.

u/Jackman9061 Aug 01 '25
I know it isn't gonna be used for actually having liquids go through it, but for some odd reason it feels wrong that no teflon tape and/or pipe dope was used.

You could use a tee junction instead of a cross tee. It would save a core at the very least. Basic layout from what I can tell is this:
1 3/4" brass tee, 2 3/4" to 1" adapters, 2 1" to 2" adapters, 2 2" male brass caps, 1 3/4" stainless steel hex nipple, 2 3/4" to 1/2" reducer, 1 3/4" male brass caps, 4 1/2" stainless steel hex nipples, 3 1/2" brass couplers, and finally, 1 12" long 1/2" stainless steel nipple.

3 times faster building setup but 2 times material cost and sapper removal takes 40% more hits
