It looks like a translation from Hebrew, so I'll cut them slack.

Larps don't do real combat though, they still throw dice for it. They took pictures of reenactors or some guys just goofing around.

Depends on the LARP. Some might do boffer combat (with foam padded "weapons"). The LARPs I've been in used toy weapons for ranged combat and a variety of systems for close combat (although none of those systems involved dice).

I've only played in one LARP, but I've been around quite a few more. I've not seen much non-dice combat, but that's the way the cookie gets stomped on and completely obliderated.
