You have just entered The Walking Dead and you need a weapon.
 
What is your weapon of choice? Can be anything to a simple stick to an RPG. Can be ranged or melee, but keep in mind you only have the one and once it's gone its hand-to-hand combat for you, a new weapon is not an option in this scenario so make it count. Keep in mind if you choose a ranged weapon you can re-supply but depending on your choice, it might be difficult to locate. Also give your current location as that can factor in to what is available around you.

For me I choose the simple steel crowbar. Light weight and versatile. I am currently residing in the east coast of Canada, but really a crowbar can be found just about anywhere.

I think I'd opt for either a hatchet or a hammer. Both small, one handed and easy to swing in narrow spaces. And, obviously, the hatchet for hacking and the hammer for bludgeoning. Brains wouldn't stand a chance!

I currently have both in my cellar as I live above a pub!

Machete, good for most situations

Fire axe. It can take walkers easily enough, and can be handy for breaking into an area for supplies that was barricaded in the opening days of the outbreak.

Like Final Fantasy IX?

I hear good things about trench spikes. If I can get any I want, I'll take the ones they had in Naruto.

A good, solid crowbar.

Blades can get stuck in bone or wood.....

its actually quite hard to crush a skull and destroy a brain, it would get you tired killing more than one

RafaelBrasileiro 10/07/2012 04:56 pm

an ax equal to Lee's would serve cut some heads!

I don't believe you have to totally destroy the brain. Make it stop to function should suffice, and blunt weapons are great to achieve that.

I guess, I'd aim for a one handed axe (blunt and blade combines), any one handed blunt weapon, a hatchet/machete would be ok too.

I'd say it would be good to keep your offhand free, as to bring the walkers into position.

Actually, I was thinking more of the utility of the tool. :D

If I'm in a ZA, combat is not my first choice in any situation.

And if I have to fight, I'm gonna knock it aside and run. :D

I pick Charlotte :)

I don't think a spider will help you.

Something medium to long-range, silent, reusable, preferably able to take out a group, that's what's ideal but no such weapon exists. I think we had this conversation before and I said that you need 3. 1 long-range, 1 short-range and one multi-target.

1 crossbow (you'll have to get the bolts back)
1 sword
Petrol and matches (for massed herds)

And I'd throw a screwdriver in there too, swords are no good in confined spaces.

im safe for the most part if there was a zombie apocalypse, I can simply hide in the wearhouse that my family runs, no windows big sliding doors, awesome :)
Honestly my biggest concerns would be living in a big city (Houston) and finding food

Charlotte as in the gun that Danny St.John was using :rolleyes:

DreadMagus 10/07/2012 06:07 pm

Yeah, like I'm supposed to remember the name of a deranged cannibal's overly loved phallic symbol :p

AR-15(Good Ole 5.56) Living in Texas I have found there is at least one in every neighborhood so rounds are aplenty at any sporting good store and magazine capacity gives me the option to take down a crowd that is attracted by the first shot.

My breath. Its most effective in close range engagements. When I wake up it can also be used in long range situations.

This. There would be very few moments when I would actually be trying to kill a walker, in most cases I'd slip by or run away, and a crowbar would wourk fine in knocking a walker down if not killing it, plus it would be useful as the actual took it's meant for :P. Worst case I'm trapped with one use the straight end as a stabbing weapon straight to the eyeball.

But what if you meet a Bandit and he starts shooting at you? don't forget walkers aren't the only enemy
