Best Weapon against Zombies
 
Imagine an apocalyptic world full of zombies(the slow ones in Living dead series). What would be your weapon of choice? [image]http://www.bishopmuseum.org/exhibits/pastExhibits/1997/treasures/large_images/WEAPON.jpeg[/image]

Although guns would be the seemingly obvious first choice, I would imagine ammo procurement would be a bother.

You will eventually run out of tank gas. I think they need 97 octane.

Assuming zombies aren't like raptors and can learn how to open doors I think you would be all right buttoned up in a tank. I would have to pick an M2A(2 or 3, cant remember which off the top of my head) Bradley, with the infantry configure. That way I can stock up on MRE's and water. I'd probably rather be holed up in a Styker. That way I could also fire the MK19 or M2 (50 Cal) from inside the vehicle.

If a zombie attack begins, please use caution if your potential getaway car is a new Volvo. Your sense of security is false.


Also, board with nail in it.

From wikipedia:

[ QUOTE ]
Blunt weapons are very common and rather practical in destroying zombie brains. Most weapons, however, lack the striking power or durability to consistently crack skulls open. Suggested weapons include hammers and sledgehammers, though the item best suited for the job is a crowbar since it meets the two most important weapon qualities needed.

Edged weapons have a huge advantage over blunt weapons in that they can decapitate zombies, thereby ceasing their mobility, although the head can still bite and is thus still a threat. Additionally, severing limbs makes any surviving zombies that much less of a threat if there is a more urgent target that requires immediate attention. Of these, axes, hatchets, knives, and swords are recommended. The Japanese Katana and Roman Gladius stand out as the best for decapitation and tight quarters, respectively.

Weapons that receive special mention in this section include the Shaolin spade and how it can be used as a multi-purpose tool for fighting as well as agricultural uses. Trench spikes are, according to Brooks, perhaps the best close combat weapon for fighting zombies thanks to its killing speed and efficiency.

wouldnt this backfire and either make more zombies or make them stronger and super zombies?

Years of successful video game slaying of zombies have taught me that the best weapon is a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo. Failing that, I'd like a kick-ass shotgun loaded up with buck shot.

I've played enough video games to know you want a shotgun.

Short barrel Mossberg 500 series or Remington 1200 series pump action with 5 shot cap. and unlimited "$1.50" rounds.

FYI, the $1.50 round is a 12 gauge shell loaded with 15 dimes.

I'd bet you wouldn't even get through 2-3 boxes of shells before the gun was inoperable.

Wearing a suit of armor with your sword would add much needed protection from bites.

I LOL'ed.

Resident Evil 4 has taught me that an Ak-47 with unlimited ammo is the funnest way to kill Zombies. Failing that, I take the high ground in a gun store with a partner, so we never run out of ammo. Walmart would be a good choice since there would be food there.

This is obviously the correct answer, since it requires no force to slice through things, never overheats, etc - just hold at arms length and swing around. Results: many wasted zombies.

FWIW this thread is awesome and I'm putting on my Dawn of the Dead remake (Ving Rhames baby) immediately since zombie movies are so badass.
