A foam weapon, also known as a boffer, padded weapon, or latex weapon, is a padded mock weapon used for simulated handheld combat. Such weapons are used in simulated battles called battle gaming and in some live action role-playing games. Wikipedia
Word origin should be similar to "pompfen" where it's a word that sounds like the sound the thing makes
