Zombie attack - what weapon would you use?

Spade
Big-ass knife
Crowbar
Sword
There is a rifle shop round the corner from work, i think it would be a good idea to try it..
 
You can recycle arrows easier than bullets.

This is the other thing I don't get with arrows from bows & crossbows.
So a Zombie attack happens and you fire off your arrows but you have now got to go and start getting them back at the risk of a Zombie suddenly coming alive as you are taking the arrow out.
It just seems a lot of hard work, just kill and walk on.

At the moment
my choices in order:
1) Samurai sword (or similar)
2) Mace
3) Baseball bat
 
Mace??? what use is pepper spray in a zombie situation? :confused:

I'm not a big fan of Zombie films but I have enjoyed The Walking Dead series.
Ever since it started I have always wondered what weapon I would use faced in a similar situation and I always pick a Samurai sword like the coloured chick in the series.
I can't see any weapon being better than this because even if you've got 20 coming at you at 1mph you should still be able to bury it in all their skulls but armed with a gun you could easily run out of bullets.

Apologies for the Kwerk/Magnolia type post but would you talk me out of the sword and suggest something better?

Whats with the blatant racist term used in the OP that goes completely ignored by the mods?

I think you need to chill out a bit, I very much doubt he meant it in a nasty racist way.... Don't blow this out of proportion.... This is a light hearted thread meant for a laugh.

My socks after a day driving the above would kill anything....

As would the odour from my boots....

Failing that, Take off & nuke from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
 
I have this "thing" where I write stories in my head when I'm in the shower, doing pots etc. I've been writing a survival novel based on my life - semi-fictional, semi-plan. So...

My immediate weapon of choice is a crowbar. It's the best blunt weapon I have available to me, and would be easy to get to in a pinch. I also have a large metal bar, with one pointed edge for whacking the ground up a bit, prying up roots etc. That might be useful.

I really do not like the idea of knives or swords. I don't know how effective they really are at slicing off limbs or tops of heads in one swoop - are films realistic in that regard?

If I could find one, it would be a mace. It has the blunt trauma I think would be best - no real skill in killing something like a zombie. It also has a bit more range than the crowbar.

My uncle has rifles and shotguns, but whether I'd be able to get them is another matter. And, would I actually be skilled enough to use one? Too noisy - better against humans I would say.
