Zombie Tools

I meant the weapons on that site would have bad balance, zombies are actually quite well balanced and much stronger than humans because the biological fail safes are deactivated by the contagion. Who's for a game of zombie tipping? First person to get their zombie tipped over without getting their throat ripped out wins.

well it depends what theory your zombies are operating off of
raised from the dead by unkown forces would be fast if they were recently deceased but would slow up as they began to decay

resident evil zombies defy all laws of physics in the sense that resident evil monsters are generally able to replicate their cells to enlarge into gigantic freakish monsters at a moments notice without so much as a nod to the concept that reactions like that would require an equal amount of energy put into the monster for that to happen they grow into gian freaks instantaniously and it makes no f***ing sense !

the most realistic zombie scenario in my mind is a 28 days later scenario in which case their speed will depend on the length since they last ate
but since those things clearly took far longer to starve to death than normal people they would be a most difficult foe to battle especially because of the whole any blood in you ad your done
the most unrealistic part of that movie was the incubation period of the virus because in reality a virus like that would likely have a incubation period of atleast a couple hours
likely depending on the amount of virus put in the system
a syringe of RAGE to a vein for instance would likely be a matter of minutes
but having an open cut that gets some blood in it would likely take almost a day b4 full infection......


wow I do ramble...
point being zombies vary
be ready for anything

but in all honesy if theres a resident evil scenario with lickers and tyrants and the like we're
all pretty well F***ed

I think my 20USD SWI machete will do the same job that would.

M.

my two cents:

in all seriousness (as serious as a discussion about zombies can be, anyway)... the tougher the weapon, the better. For a sword, I'd go with the Cheness 9260 O-Katana. But if this thing goes down before I can get one...
this, this, and this will have to do.

seriousness aside...
Steel Cricket Bat.

I recently decided upon the design of a sweet zombie killing sword that I think I will have custom made
basically go with the katana saber idea I had talked about awhile ago give it a rib cage for a basket hilt with spikes facing out for skull punching and a sexy skull pommell to bring the weight back and make the katana an effective one handed weapon
I think its got a good combination of power lightness and effectiveness

It would also be optimal to have a zombie weapon with a very convinient harness system that would not get in the way and would allow for easy and very quick drawing speed
and of course itd have to be light

nah, for basket hilts you want BKS

Only if you live in a country where such things are legal.

I have thought about what would work best for "anti-zombie close quarter melee weapon" for so long it makes my head hurt. But I have finally come to the conclusion that I likely couldn't do any better than this for a zombie edged weapon for backup/melee use.

"When the ammo runs out..."

Still need a good scabbard though...

Angus Trim Courtrai Falchion

Yeah, I took the heavy plum-shaped pommel off and replaced it with a medium-weight Type I wheel pommel, and it improved the handling a lot. It now handles about like the standard soon-to-be-released Valiant Armoury Falchion will handle. I'm gettin' one o' those! It promises to be a winner.
