Best Answer

An epee will typically have a broader, deeper bell guard around the grip than a foil, which has a much smaller guard. When Fencing with an electric weapon, the epee's tip requires a simple depression to activate the scoring light, whereas the foil's tip must depress when in contact with an opponent's lame.
