The Walking Dead (AMC)

Also, I laugh every time these guys go off full auto on a couple of walkers. So, the world ends, and no more 5.56 ammo will *ever* be made, and you think you should go full auto and blow through 30 rounds just to pop a couple of shambling walkers? Fire discipline folks, fire discipline. The primary reason for full auto, suppressing fire, is going to have no impact on zombies.

Swords , spears, chain mail , and napalm that's the way to go.

I've always thought that a halberd would make a fantastic zombie weapon. Long enough to give you a bit of range. Pointy end that can be used like a spear, with an axe part that can be used like, well, an axe. With a hook on the backside that can be used to control the walkers. Would require a bit of strength to use, but overall, I can't think of much better zombie weapon.

It's all about the Lobo from World War Z

(top of page 146, last paragraph of interview with Arthur
Sinclair, Jr.):

(Sinclair points above my my head to the opposite wall. On it
hangs a heavy steel rod ending in what looks like a fusion of
shovel and double-bladed battle-ax. It's official designation is the
Standard Infantry Entrenching Tool, although, to most, it is
known as either the "Lobotomizer," or simply, the "Lobo.")

 

[aravenel]

My issue with the lobo was always that it requires swinging to really be effective--and if you miss, you are screwed, as it will be hard to recover from given the length. With something with a pointier end, you can jab with it as a spear, which would be much safer.

A spear would be ineffective if you were surrounded, but would be great when in groups.

This has been discussed. I opted for a taiaha.

A whittled down 2x4?

 

[Bonggoy]

Ya, but we dont know if zombie jaws are like super human n stuff, if you were really living it... real body armor.

Always wondered about that. Notice how they easily tore a human flesh like it's a tender piece of meat.

A whittled down 2x4?

A fire-hardened whittled down 2x4 with a blunt end for crushing and a sharpened end for thrusting and cutting. Light and easy to replace, it's the perfect size for keeping someone off until you can swing it for a killing blow.

Face tattoo optional.

That actually seems like a pretty good idea. Wonder if it would be too light to really be effective though. Regardless, pretty cool.
