Best Weapon against Zombies

[Jcrew]

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.

Flamethrower ftw. Supplies easy obtainable, both at stores and naturally.

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.

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.
