Zombie apocalypse, what you choosing

[Phlog]

 

[Natural Order]

Katana and the Glock.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Glock and Battle Ax

 

[koquerelle]

Longsword and Glock.

Katana would break after a while.

 

[wh4tttt]

Glock /long sword.

Stay fit and surround yourself with slow people to use as meat shields.

 

[SirRealKiller]

I would take a machete and a bow, just because it's easier to make arrows than fund ammo or materials to make ammo.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Glock and the claymore.

 

[Zer]

One boxing glove for my jab arm and the glock as backup

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

To start? The axe and longsword. Ammo might be hard to find, and the noise it makes will bring all the boys to the yard.

 

[syct23]

Longsword and Spear..

 

[Thrawn33]

Spear and glock.

 

[Memnok]

That spear looks a bit weak in construction but in general spear and a glock. Good to have a bit of distance between you and the zombie.

The Glock will run out of bullets. The katana will chip very quickly. The longsword will have a little more durability but will also chip. I'd go for the axe + crossbow. The axe is much thicker, it'll be more durable and there's plenty of material to sharpen it. The spear would be good too, also easy to DIY if you don't start with it. I don't see the point of a blunt damage weapon like a mace against zombies. Usually they just shrug off damage and keep moving until the head is hit. For the crossbow, making new bolts with scavenged materials is simple: some sort of stick + pointy tip + stabilizer (feathers, leaves, reed, plastic, bark, etc). After some tries you'd eventually get a formula that works and produces a well-balanced arrow.

 

[Cerberus87]

Glock and longsword

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Longsword and Crossbow.

 

[Tone C]

Nothing, my hands are registered as lethal weapons.


Oh , ok , the battle-axe, sturdy and strong, if the head breaks I can still use it as a club or if the handle goes it should be easy enough to source another ( Brits - think Trigger and his broom).


Crossbow for a silent distance weapon.

 

[humperdoo]

the gloves only. I wanna look for a zombie spar partner

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

One boxing glove for my jab arm and the glock as backup

This. I've never seen a zombie bench teh 315.

AFAIK, experts in HEMA who fight each other with edged weapons and polearms overwhelmingly cite the superiority of the spear over the sword or axes, FWIW

*although* as long as I have a sharp blade and access to long pieces of wood, I can DIY a spear, so feels superfluous?

if was gonna have an axe it wouldn't be that double-headed monstrosity which compounds and basically doubles the axe's biggest problem, the amount of time to retract after a strike, seriously, fuck that axe, absolute piece of shit.

i like the renewability of the crossbow projectiles.

i think I'mma go with the glock *and* the crossbow for when the glock runs out- i don't want to be fighting at close enough range for a sword/etc to be relevant, if that's happening likely I'm fucked, I'll put all my eggs in the fight at distance basket.

and assume i have a knife to fashion a spear as a backup as I do like to hedge my bets

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Spear.
