| Imagine one day you are watching anime and zombies start trying to burst in your door. What weapon would you realistically use to fight them since im assuming not everyone will have a gun or a katana in the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Basically something in your house already (weapon combinations count as long as their is duct tape). For me It would be either this giant wooden pencil I made in middle school shop class which nearly killed me once or the bar from my weight set which is heavy on its own but would make a good staff. |
| Hopefully none. I'd be too busy trying to run away and hide! I suppose I would bring along a frying pan just in case. I don't really have any suitable weapons in my home, so a nice bonk on the head would have to suffice. I'd probably die... |
 |
| I'd prefer to have a baseball bat first and foremost... after that probably a crossbow. ... And a machine gun if I had unlimited ammo. lol |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| I own a claymore, so definitely that. I would unlikely be able to hold myself against a horde with it, but for taking out one or two at a time, it could be pretty effective (depending on the kind of zombies we're talking about). |
| Probably a good old claw hammer. Anyone who chose a cutting or piercing weapon: sorry, you lost. Skulls are extremely thick, that's why nobody aims for the head with a firearm, except in movies. |
 |
| Can I choose a tank? A tank please... |

Skulls are extremely thick, that's why nobody aims for the head with a firearm, except in movies. Smashing their heads isn't the only way to deal with them, though. Besides, a hammer requires you to get really close up to them, putting you in a very dangerous position. A cutting weapon (like a kitchen knife) could still be used to cut off their limbs, or at least severely cripple them, as they try to grab you or trying to climb up somewhere. |

You're not cutting a limb on something alive with a kitchen knife (or with a sword or axe for that matter, no matter how big and sharp they are). If you have great knowledge of anatomy you might be able to cripple a zombie, but... kinda bleh in any scenario that isn't a 1v1 in some open space. And I don't see how a kitchen knife has a better range that a hammer :c. Tho if we're talking old school zombies, your best weapon is your attention span lol. There's no way to get eaten by such a slow predator |

| Probably the iconic baseball bat, and a crossbow if I could get one. |

It's heavy enough to smash them and knock them down with, after which they should be easy to finish. Lol, I didn't say a kitchen knife would be a better/safer choice than a hammer, but I don't see how it's much worse either. And yeah, old school zombies should be fairly easy to deal with, unless they're coming at you in large numbers, especially if they're coming from multiple directions. |

And a big sword like the claymore I mentioned in my post wouldn't need to cut off limbs to be effective at fighting them. Nope, an axe isn't going to chop someone in half. If you want to cut a limb, you need some kind of support. A standing human being would just get thrown back by the force of the blow, dissipating most of it's strength. Typically, axes were more used for their borderline crushing potential on armor + the hook allowing you to troll your opponent (most notably pulling on his shield). Swords, on top of being fucking hard to use, have almost zero crushing potential. You could use your claymore as a crushing tool, but with it's length and weight you'd get the results of the claw hammer I mentionned, with the practicality of a sledgehammer. Note that the claw hammer CAN and SHOULD also be used to cripple your opponent. It's an almost guaranteed fracture as long as you hit them right, vs having to aim for articulations and the practice needed to use a sword, or even an axe, efficiently. Swords are extremely overrated. They're extremely situationnal weapons, if you have 10 years of practice. If you don't, they're big lumps of steel. The main advantage of a sword is that it's a lot less tiring to use than most other weapons thx to a lighter weight and better balance. The only melee weapons you should consider picking without prior training are clubs and spears. The claw hammer is already borderline meh because you have to hit with the claw or head. Oh, and cutting/piercing weapons can also get stuck in a bone and that's NOT something you want to learn in the middle of a zombie invasion. Play it safe, bring a baseball bat. Honestly the best choice, I just don't have one at home. |

| I have several blunt weapons: axe, weights, utensils, etc, but no guns. I'll probably take a blunt object and a knife from the kitchen until I can get better supplies. |

Even if the axe doesn't cut them it will do enough damage to cripple them or blow them away. since zombies are slow they wont have the reaction time to get back up from a hit from something like that making them easy to finish off. with a knife you would have to go for the zombies eye or the back of the head for it to work. |

Nah the frying pan is the best weapon in team fortress 2 so you will be ok with that alone. |
| Which weapon would you (Realistically) choose in a zombie apocalypse? I'd use my mind |
I think that knowledge would attract more zombies than repel. |
| uhhh I have a sledgehammer and some bear mace which is also flamable so it would be like a napalm flame thrower. |
| 9mm glock, limited ammunition but it doesnt matter, realistically you wont ever need to use more than 30 or so bullets. I live in America. If the nonissue of zombies ever happened I would just sit it out and be fine. In the end, id be more afraid of dumbasses looting, rioting and mass murdering. |
| Tough one. Probably I'd go with my dick. |
| Tough one. Probably I'd go with my dick. |
| Raid a Mansion. Barricade the place. Sentry Guns |
| I'd probably saw the end off a long pipe to make a sharp point, and carry a kitchen knife on me. Some kind of club just in case the pipe gets stuck too. |
 |
| m4 because of its lightweight ammo load out and a common round to find and a sword |

| It would only make sense to choose a heavy metal mallet or butcher knife (if fighting at close range) or a sharp spear (that's long enough to swing from a far distance and hit) OR a rifle if fighting from a far distance. I would probably go with a heavy metal mallet, but I don't want to be that close to a zombie, so maybe I'd go with a long spear or a rifle. Chances are... I'd die either way because zombies are disgusting so I'd probably drop and lose my shit and run for my life and then fall like in the movies and then have my brain eaten out my zombies.

| Something long and sharp, like a really good sword. I would want to be able to keep my distant while not having to worry about replacing ammo. |
| "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." |
| I have a real replica of Sasuke's Chidori Blade hanging in my room, I'd use that. |
 |
| A machete would work wonders and has multiple uses. A crossbow could function like a gun but you don't have to worry as much about ammunition. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Make a spear outta long metal stick and a knife |
 |
| Any blunt-type weapon like a mallet or baseball bat, because mace-type weapons do bonus damage to undead enemies and they're more effective at slowing them down than cutting or piercing weapons so that you can deliver the finishing blow easier. Also, their "sharpness" doesn't get blunt as fast as cutting weapons do, so their durability and use lasts longer. Of course, you could always add a few nails to the bat to inflict more damage. As a side weapon, I'd get a lighter and some aerosols and other flammables and set the suckers on fire. |
 |
| Well we have a gun, bow, machetes, power tools,weights, and a replica of a famous sword. I guess the replica sword or the machete. |
| long range shotgun.. but since i dont have gun and dont know how to shoot, would fight with wooden stick because knife makes too much mess :/ |
| A pipe or a baseball bat. I mean, even if they break, they are deadly, and it's quite hard to stab yourself with them. |
| your waifu is shit |
I got a feeling that somehow involves a lot of fire hazards. |

Yeah. Wich means it's a glorified club if you manage to hit correctly (with your blade perpendicular to the target), and a lot more fragile than any pipe or baseball bat. Really, guys, don't pick an axe unless you plan to chop some wood. I'm surprised at the amount of axes and Swords we got in that thread. Hollywood >>> survival instinct apparently. |
|
| Well umm.. I have some child safety scissors That's about it. (I'm not a very well prepared person) |
 |
| All I need is just a noose to hang my self. |
| I prob pick a baseball bat or some kind of nearby bluganing weapon coz it easy to hold and use and I can use it fast on close zombies to keep them at bay |
| sharpest knifes I can find and a baseball bat (when I get one, I'm planning to get one some time soon) |
| My Mossberg Maverick 88 loaded with buckshot If that runs out of ammo I can still use either my AK or 9mm Tokarev both loaded with hollow point rounds If those run out of ammo I go Negan on their asses with a spiked baseball bat while wearing an aluminum chainmail hauberk I got for cosplay purposes |
 |
| I'll be grabbing all the alarm clocks in the house, and some leftover fireworks from newyear. Grab all the canned foods on the kitchen, some change of clothes, a lighter, a flashlight, a crowbar (for breaking doors open) put everything on a backpack. I have to be as light as possible to move quickly. Lastly, grab the baseball bat from the attic, toss an alarm outside to distract them and NOPE the fuck out of there ASAP and meet with other like minded persons. tl;dr : Baseball bat |
