What would you carry as a melee weapon in the Walking Dead universe?
>>217992019My wits. The brain is the deadliest weapon.
>>217992019an empty rifle. that way i can use it as a gun when i find bullets
Unrelated image. The right is carrying a high caliber gunt.
Cold Steel All Terrain Chopper.
>>217992019Are these two surviving in the zombie apocalypse? They look like a yuppie lesbian couple on a walk
>>217992134
if it's useful in 2089 it's useful today
>>217992019the answer is obvious.
>>217992134>hit zombie>get stuck>get eaten
>>217992019>fat woman is alive in the zom-pocYeah sure.
>>217992151Fit white guys are just chumps who stand no chance!
>>217992151They get chopped same as the walkers. In my zombie world just as many live people get whacked as do the zombies.
>>217992163>>217992172I feel like the design of this axe would make it less effective.
>>217992019I would have a badass katana named god-bleeder, forged by the ancient japanese masters, which could only be removed from its sheath when I came across a worthy opponent(I would super glue it into its sheath to make the point that no one was worthy enough for it)
>>217992226yeah? show me your phd in physics and engineering and i may consider your opinion.
>>217992019Tonfa.
I'd try to make one of those melee weapons described in world war z.But in a zombie apoc. I am probably just turning my ccw on myself.
>>217992019Does it ever get explained why zombies have grip strength stronger then 1000 pound deadlifters?
>>217992230Is there any anime or film about a samurai fighting zombies?
>>217992209This is most likely what would happen if a zombie pockylips happened.>*hey why-boi! yous so stupid! FUCK YOU! hee haw haw*>*Ayo why you ubset?*Not saying any of it is right, but if the threat of police is gone and some big horrible thing happened, there would be much ugliness.
Crowbar. Seems durable enough to withstand repeated use and is a good middle ground between blunt and sharp. Doesn’t really get the slicing capability that a blade does but it can still stab to some extent.
Why would I want to get near them? I'd go for a bow
>>217992279You would be forced to defend yourself against not only the undead but all of those that will be trying to rob, rape and murder you in a lawless society. This is why I say most likely more live people would have to die than going around wasting zombies.In a real life z poc or even a horrific virus pandemic, the zombies or infected would be the least of your worries.
>>217992501The entire zombie thing is incredibly stupid anyway for the simple fact that it's impossible if not for magic. If a body is dead, the brain cannot decode the upside-down message the eyes see. Zombies would be falling over themselves and unable to be effective threats.
>>217992526Don't they operate through smell or whatever
It would have to be something blunt like a bat. You would be an idiot to go for a sharp weapon as it would get stuck the majority of the time and you wouldnt have the tools to sharpen it
>>217992019A length of rebar hammered flat into a sword. Since I assume rebar would more common than finding a fucking sword.
>>217992019Lightsaber toy, but the hollow blade is filled with concrete.
>>217992576Yet another impossible ability for a dead body.
>>217992019Sharpened broomstick.
>>217992019
>>217992019>Ayaaaa the barely held together corpses are walking towards me at 0.00001 MPH, please nigga-san save me!
>>217992267There's a Korean show called Kingdom. They are basically samurai with funny hats.
>>217992849>zombos get stucked thereWhat now?
>>217993013nta, love that show. Season 3 fucking when??
>>217992019Ideally a chinese-style glaive. A polearm gives you some distance while the shorter handle on theirs makes it more practical and still suited for relatively close combat.
People always forget that humanity has already done thousands of years of hands on testing on the best ways to mash a human brain, and has created dedicated tools for it. A mace would be my top choice, its not stylish but it is>light>easy to wear around>requires little effort to swing, just a light bonk and the skull and brain is mush>ultra durable>doesn't get stuck>easy to clean and requires almost zero maintenance>will be effective through padding and helmets>quit>has enough reach to keep zombies away from you while still being usable in enclosed spacesIf you want more reach just bring a blunt polearm like a polehammer. You also do not need to make elaborate armour like chainmail and plate and shit the way people say here, human jaws are not going to get through a leather jacket and denim shirt.Also anyone bringing up bladed weapons is retarded and has never done actual manual labor with a blade in their life, hacking at human skulls will dull that blade into uselessness fast, not to mention how easily they'd get stuck, or how much energy and space you need to swing them with enough force to reliably destroy a human head.
>>217993013Picrel too.Some of the chinese vamp movies are also basically zombie rules.
>>217993129Its dead bro, sorry to say. On the bright side it was starting to enter soap opera territory by the end anyway, and it had a pretty decent ending if you ignore the cliffhanger that's basically an after credits scene.It does feel like the gooks are the only people that still remember that zombies are supposed to be actually scary rather than set dressing, they were fucking terrifying in this and train to Busan
>>217993210>human jaws are not going to get through a leather jacket and denim shirt.>that one kid in The World Beyond who wore a vintage corduroy suit as armor.
>>217993210medieval 1handed maces are literally like 1.5ft long. good luck with your cqc versus zombos, soon-to-be-undead anon
>>217993113Either push-pull or I pull the bottom like a hammer to remove the "nails".
>>217992102Came here to post this./thread
>>217993502>he has to reload his shield after every zombieyou're dead within an hour.
>>217993210>will dull that blade into uselessness fastDefine fastBecause you will get tired from swinging that dead weight way before any rotting bone can damage my 100 agility spear.And I also get to keep my distance from blood spatters and saliva.
>>217993532I reload only when they get stuck. My pulling force is way higher than the friction between flesh and blade.
>>217993309Damn, that's why I hate gook tv shows. Everyone of them that I gave a chance to and I ended up liking either never moved on past the first season or they changed one of the leading actors for retarded reasons, ruining everything. I hoped Kingdom would be different since it got renewed and season 2 was great too, yeah last scene aside.>>217993304Nice, I will check it out.
>>217993565...
>>217993425First of all theres absolutely no rule saying you have to get a huge medieval one, you can just get a one handed trench style one, i just assumed you'd want extra reach and something to shove with if you're not retarded.Second of all, thats 100% small enough to swing in enclosed spaces, its literally designed to amplify your swinging power. Have you swung a hammer before? You don't need to put a lot of effort in or take a big wide swing to get a lot of force out of something like that. Additionally, if they get close, you now have a big lever you can use to shove them away. If you're somehow still not happy with that you can just get one with a giant reinforced spike on the end and poke with it, and this spike won't get stuck and it wont get dull because its not a blade and its built to take real punishment.They literally used to hand out maces specifically for ultra close range encounters like trench raiding, fighting in tunnels, castle interiors, etc. >>217993571>Define fastYour blade will be noticeably duller after one head, its not built for chopping through thick, solid bone.>Because you will get tired from swinging that dead weight way before any rotting bone can damage my 100 agility spear.Giga sheltered suburban loser detected. It takes absolutely zero effort or stamina to swing something like a mace, they're like 2-3lbs and specifically weighted to assist with swinging, you can twirl that shit around like a ninja all day with little effort.It is difficult as shit to get a precise poke in on a moving head sized target at just the right angle with enough force to punch through a skull, fuck that up and it will glance off and your spear will become ineffective as they close the distance.>And I also get to keep my distance from blood spatters and saliva.You know what doesn't create big blood and saliva splatters? Blunt weapons
>>217993674to add on to this, there's been hundreds of battles where both sides were armed with tons of spears and armored everywhere but their face neck and limbs, and virtually all spear casualties in those battles were from repeated cuts to the neck, because jamming a spear through the very solid face of someone who is trying to kill you is extremely difficult
>>217992526Romero and Fulci did it right by exploring possibilities of what could have caused the dead to rise without actually giving a direct explanation because the unknown aspect not only makes it creepier, it sidesteps the cheesy factor a bit. In Zombi 2, the doctor goes half-mad trying to figure out what causes it, exploring chemical agents, microbes, and radiation, and still scoffs when the prospect of something spiritual happening is brought up as a possibility. Same in Day of the Dead, where a number or possibilities are explored, but ultimately none proven to be successful. The other two biggies are Resident Evil, where the victim goes in a state of temporary death-like dormancy before they are reactivated by the T-Virus, but don’t actually die, and Return of the Living Dead with its 2-4-5 Trioxin chemical, which is silly, but it’s in a goofy black comedy, so it’s ok.
>>217992849I just had a dream last night where I was in an RPG and had a weapon like this but the shield was bigger and had blades sticking out of the whole front and I just went through a dungeon doing twohanded shield bashes
>>217993674undead anon, my criticism is that a medieval mace is too short and invites risk, that engaging with cqc with zombies is death. it isn't dissimilar to literally swinging a modern tool hammer and you wouldn't imagine a tool hammer to be a good choice in a zombie apocalypse, would you?
>>217992019Lightweight and strong enough to destroy a skull. Never rusts and never gets broken. No retarded attachments that risk entanglement or wedging. The only thing better is a crowbar.
Monomolecular wire. It would cut through walkers like butter.
>>217992265Zombie strength in the show is the same as spaceship speed in 'Firefly': whatever the plot requires.
>>217992019The only reliable melee weapon in a zombie apocalypse would be a crowbar.>doesn't need sharpening>doesn't break at all>has utility in breaching doors/containers
>>217994000He’s risking a more effective but closer proximity encounter for your strategy, which is ideal for 2 kills if you’re lucky then useless. Poking is the best possible choice for killing a single zombie in a vacuum with no other considerations but if dealing with a mob, long term maintenance, or long term transportation are factors then his choice is superior.
>>217994102Well yeah, if that was an option I'd go with a thrint variable knife in a heartbeat.
>>217992019A chainsaw that is also my hand and a shotgun
>>217992019i know you söyboys and mealteamsix fucks couldn't handle it, but i could.
>>217994228Absolutely fucking groovy
>>217992052You’re going to get raped so fucking hard
>>217992612>flatten itKek have you ever worked with rebar, anon?
boar spear and a crowbaryou should never fight mobs so safe single killmax and drop everything and run otherwise
>>217992179never hurt the congolese>>217992019halberd
The Fubar is made in one piece of forged steel, which gives it maximum durability.It is a little on the heavy side, however, that only adds to its stopping power. Once you get that weight in motion, the momentum of it obliterates the zombie skull in its path. Don’t forget that it has a pry bar on the end, ostensibly for pulling nails. Our favorite use of that pry bar is stabbing it through a zombie skull. Talk about making quick work of the undead without making too big a mess.
>>217992019This set should cover it.
>>217992254>getting into bite distance just to hit a zombie with a blunt weaponyou somehow managed to do worse than using an actual stick
>>217994603>get into frantic melee>stab yourself in the gut, repeatedly
>>217993565>>217993642Whatever.
>>217994749kys
Something you can use up-close + some fucking leather that zombies can't bite through instead of running around with bare arms like every other dumb idiot in this show.
based blunt weapon bros. morningstar for me
>>217992019a remote control, to make sure the TV stayed switched off.
>>217994312Did I stutter?
>trivializes your apocalypseget fucked zombie jobber
>>217993210The sword is much easier for destroying brains. Mace was only used to get through hea y duty metal helmets. Theres lots and lots of documentation depcting knights casually tapping people on the head with their swords and splitting their skills in half
>>217995982>Mace was only used to get through heavy duty metal helmetsWhat do you think the skull is retard.swords are dogshit high maintenance. Any stick with a metal head will do perfectly, Morningstar or mace or whatever
>>217995982>The sword is much easier for destroying brains. Mace was only used to get through hea y duty metal helmetsskull thin...need to penetrate without getting stuck mace provides. I used small partial sentences for you.
>>217994702Tonfas are great 1on1 against melee human enemies, zombies would be even easier. Of course you will get into trouble when there are more than one, but that's the downside of every melee weapon.
>>217995661Get on my level, scrub.
>>217996670>>217996861You goys are retarded
>>217997327>You goysit's sunday bruh, latke day here
A halberd or similar polearm as a primary with a gladius as backup. All other answers are wrong.
>>217994639I have second from the left, its great for brush clearing but I'd never use it to kill something.I'd probably rig myself up a shield and use pic related if zombies came along, but I'm not gonna do that wandering nomad crap.
>>217995982Theres also tons of documentation of swords going dull mid battle or breaking against enemies
>>217992019if it was good enough for the ancestors, its good enough for me
>>217992019One of those 30” Stanley demolition tools. It’s a 10lb claw hammer and a crowbar all in one. It’s blunt trauma, so no danger of it getting stuck.
>>217997549>use pic related if zombies came along>skull .28" thick at mosti think anything point longer than 1 or 2 inches would just be getting stuck and slowing you down trying to wrestle it out. my axe gets stuck in logs often enough to switch to a maul..and it still happens
>>217992019None. I would build a machine with a siren on it that attracts zombies, and butchers them and uses them to power the machine. They're more reliable fuel than wind power that's for sure. Dumb fucking zombies.
>>217995368>Did I-I stutter?
Spear.
>Walking Dead>WalkingI'd just jog away
>>217998326Tip #1 of zombie survival:>don't be fat
A bastard sword
>>217992226>>217992252Nta, but i think it would depend on the zombie. Axes in warfare have always been niche. Slow zombies it would work great, but fast zombies would be a problem. Axes were mostly meant to pierce thick armor or damage shields or other defenses. Its not really a finesse weapon, its a burte force weapon. One miss against a fast zombie and you're kinda fucked with a large axe. Theres only one part of it that works as a weapon, and thats a bit inefficient.
>>217992019a boomerang so if a zombie is far away i can throw it at it and it will come back to me
>>217998927Shit dont work like that, nigga.
>>217998946you'll change your tune when i throw my boomerang at you and take off your leg.
>>217992019Coming up to a zombie and whacking it with anything seems like a good way to get yourself infected with their blood
Better than not having one, but why wouldn't someone have both
according to grok apparently a fucking crowbar is the best melee weapon one can use during a zombie apocalypse scenario.
>>217992019 lol good threadspear/staffpanabasfalcatabattle mace or one of those cold steel batsa short chopper sword with a 2h grip cause you're not gonna carry a shield some kinda arm and neck leather armor would be sufficient you really want weapons that were formerly agricultural tools because this blade is a survival tool first and foremost and a weapon second >>217992102>>217993521not really that effective without a bayonette and it could potentially fuck up your sights with too much abuse. i think rifles are too valuable in the apocalypse to abuse like that.better off just keeping a 12 gauge on your back and a 22 side armvery common and light ammo>>217992134 nice, i bought multiple cold steel gladius when the first gen went on clearance for $20 each
>>217999453Seems like the short reach and being designed to get stuck in things would be a serious problem, but at least the tool itself would be useful
im already packing(muh dik) irl so idk i guess a metal baseball bat or something like that i dont care, already got my huge dick (barely)consealed carry
>>217999665yeah the utility was what was prioritized in the consideration.being able to break into buildings and open things was a higher priority than the actual combat effectiveness.
>>217992019I’ve got a big bowie knife. It’s thick and almost as heavy as a hatchet so it chops very well. Also there is a video of a guy trying to break one and he has a hard time. So I know it will last.
>>217993356kek I forgot about that little spaz
>>217999999
>>218000083yeah lmao, unreal.
>>217996982>Tonfas are great 1on1 against melee human enemies>zombies would be even easierYes. Because as we all know most deaths in zombie movies happen because of a singular adversary. It's a good thing zombies aren't known for being a mindless stampeding mass that overwhelms through sheer numbers. If they were known for that then you would have to feel pretty dumb.
The frostmourne behind me.
from the show negan's bat or rosita's post time skip weapon
>>217992019A spear
>>217992460I’m pretty sure they’ve used them in the Walking Dead, like when the zombies are stuck on a fence and you can just pop it through their eye
>>217992019These people would not last long. Real survivors carry nothing. Always be ready to run.You're not the action star you think you are.Cowards always win.
a big knife or a steel bar
In a zombie scenario, why am I even trying to kill them? I push, and then I walk away.
>>217992019A polearm, you would be stupid to let a zombie get close to you. Anything beyond one zombie you should just run
>>217992019>in the Walking Dead universeIf I forgot I had seen sentient walkers (including climbing fences & using rocks to break windows) like all the main characters did, I'd probably be using a plastic spork.
>>217992460If you ever picked on up you'd see they're terrible as weapons. Not balanced at all for swinging, too short to keep stuff at a safe distance from you, too long and heavy to be easy to carry,
>>218001204Yeah it's like, just outwalk them bro. They can't even jog just walk away. Hell bring a bike and you won't even work up a sweat.

>>217992019LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING Probably Lucille or something that won't break at least as easy and machete also >>217992102 True. Also on guns Rick's python is good for power and should be able to headshot at least 2 in one shot but 6 rounds isn't alot. A lever rifle with a removable scope for sniping like in dawn of the dead 1978 ans one of the best choices and a M4 is faster then a ak

>>217992180Obese people think they have special skills for surviving this shit not joking. They think being fat means they will live forever without eating.
>>217992226correct the handle is the worst possible design>>217992252you drool on yourself
>>217998911battle axes are much lighter than axes designed to split logs of wood.
>>217992019My ears, I would listen and that's what no one did that's why they had zombies and people sneak up on them.
>>218001204These work well on japanese wrestlers
>>217994086Crowbar is very bad for swinging attacks because its center of gravity is in the middle. You won't even be able smash an apple with it.
A poleaxe.>can poke>can cut>can bash in doors >generally not as long and hard to bring inside as other polearmsAlso some sort of long, backup dagger.>But anon where are you getting a poleaxe?Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
>>217992460way too fucking heavy. Warhammers, battle axes, swords, heavy polearms are all much lighter than a crowbar.
I think I'd be safe in my house desu. I don't think a human could punch through my dual pane glass especially a rotten one.
>>217992134No tradition swords or traditional machetes look like this. There must be some flaw in the design. There must be a reason no one uses that shape.
>>218003807it's going to break after a few hitsthe crowbar is a better choice
>>218009798It's not really the shape it's the overall bulk of the weapon. Swords were thin and flexible until they became about thrusting through chainmail. Modern shit especially coldsteel is way overbuilt so they can brag about how tough it is. It would be slow and fatiguing to use in a real scenario but you could definitely chop shit up with it. It's just inefficient. A crowbar would be the worst of all because you only need like 1 pound of steel at the end of a stick to shatter a skull and a crowbar is like 10lbs slow as fuck and fatiguing.
>>218000126Aside from the fact that we don't know if zombies will actually form herds or if that will just be a matter of population density in urban areas, yeah as I said that's the downside of all melee combat. Everyone smart will mainly use range but that wasn't OP's question.
>>217992265They don't suffer from muscle fatigue.>>217992019A crowbar.
>>218009676
>>218010191My bad, I'm dumb abd I didn't remember the "in the Walking Dead universe" part. Then the only real answer is plot armor.
>>218009676most people picking crowbar think it's good enough at smashing a head while still being something useful the other 99% of the time
A mace would be the best.
>>217992019I wouldn't. I would ask the melee, which noone else did.
>>217992019is there any point? I feel like you could just traverse a thousand miles and never have to actually fight with a walker.
>>218009676>You won't even be able smash an apple with it.You really think you can't crush a skull with a crowbar? The problem is it is about 10-15x heavier than what is necessary to crush a skull. Every swing will overextend you and leave you vulnerable, it will be slow as fuck to use, and you will become fatigued just from carrying it around all day. The problem with a crowbar is anything but it being not able to crush someone's head open. You sound british though so maybe your crowbars are made from plastic.
>>218010260Most people pick the crowbar because they saw it in a video game.
>>218010400Which is funny because the crowbar or whatever in a game like silent hill is intentionally meant to slow you down and be a clumsy weapon
>>218010387You sound like you've never picked up a crowbar in your life.
>>217992019Poleaxe where the axehead is no bigger than a hand. Doesn't get stuck like a regular axe and has reach. Doesn't matter if it's not perfectly sharp either.Have one of your hands fully armored too, you can literally shove it down their throat if they surprise you.
>>217997549I don't plan on tunneling out of Shawshank Prison, no thanks.
>>218010428I don't understand why you would use a blade against a zombie. I think you want a hammer or spike on a pole so you can crush the skull with a single strike with as little weight as necessary to accomplish that.
a beyblade
>>218010524I see your beyblade and raise you battlebots
>>218010523>I think you want a hammer or spike on a poleSo a poleaxe
All the LARPing melee shills in here who’ve never even swung a weapon. I have 30 years of SCA and HEMA and against a target that’s not defending itself, I’ll take a targe/buckler and mace.
>>218010568pole hammer take the blade off

I would just get a zombie mask
>>218010736based
>>218010569If you have experience a sword would be much better than a mace. You can more swifly decapitate while using less energy and keep more range. A sword is also much better defensively than a mace. You suck at HEMA.
Why are brainlets posting guns in a melee thread?
>>218010800There are no rules against using projectile weapons in a melee.

>>218011043>OH NI-
>>217992019A fleshlight
>>218010960If you do that I won't complain that it is against the rules. But I have a shotgun and a truck and I don't think you have an orbital laser or an ocean cruiser. If you did I would encourage you to use them and I would even go so far as to be your fwen. Also, I can take the barrel off my shotgun and crush skulls with a 20" steel pipe.
>>217992019Which show is this? Who are they?
>>218011026Why?
>>218011026OJ Decapitated two people with a small knife. I think I can get it done with a saber.
>>217992019brb me and the boys just conquered the known world... again!
>>218011215Me and Vin Diesel doing this with our family but we're all in trucks.
>>218010800That would probably just get stuck in the zombie as it takes one more step and eats you
>>217992179Zombies are likely rotting away so they're easier to cut through. Blades are easy to maintain and have a multitude of uses. I'd certainly take them over something like a baseball bat where you're not even entirely guaranteed to get a kill with a hit
>>218009640In starvation scenarios fat people tend to lose weight rather quickly too. There’s a story of a Party bureaucrat during the siege of Leningrad who was very fat and was slender within a month.
>>218011215zombies would get stuck on the spears and make the phalanx ineffectice rather quickly. kinda like the converse of how it was defeated by making the shields ineffective with throwing spears
>>218011026First of all I was talking to the guy who claimed he trains with swords and has HEMA experience so I said HE would be better off with a sword. Second of all I bet I get your head in one shot. Then we'll see. Meet me at the edge of the playground at 3pm.
>>218010569>claims to be a medieval war master>a tactical mastermind>chooses a mace developed to deal with heavy plate armor and helmets against unarmored slow retarded zombies
>>218010128What crowbar are you using that is 10 lbs? Handheld ones are a few ounces at best and the nice ones are not more than a couple lbs.
>>218011264bro your face gets red when you tie your shoes, you couldn't decapitate jack shit
>>218011257PEople like to cite controlled studies of morbidly obese people being on a medically monitored fast where they're being injected and fed electrolytes and yeast and vitamins etc while sitting on their ass all day to a scenario where you need to be walking like 20 miles a day and you might go days without food or water or any electrolytes. Plus in an apocalypse we're straight up murdering anyone who is fat on sight because they're a weak bitch and a liability.
>>218009676Crowbar isn’t used for swinging attacks it’s for ripping and slashing, prying attacks moving in up and down motions, not side to side like a blade.
>>218011285>bongs think there is only one crowbar and it's the flat 10 inch nail puller that is legal in their country
>>218010387Crowbars do not weigh that much, anon.
>>218011297Despite hundreds of cold steel videos of the morbidly obese nerd who owns the company cutting pigs in half with shittily designed bulky chinese steel you doubt that a zombie can be decapitated easily with a sword.... even a 90lbs Japanese girl can cut your head off after a couple lessons.
>>218011285No matter what crowbar you use it's too bulky. You can completely obliterate someone's skull with less than a 14 ounce hammer.
>>218011301Yeah unless they are holed up with rooms and rooms filled with stashes of high calorie food (like weight gain bars) you aren’t staying fat in an apocalypse very long. At most a few months.
>>218011324How much do they weigh? There are many different sizes and types and uses of crowbars and wrecking bars. You could be a british dork talking about anything some flat 12" nail puller or you could be talking about a 7 foot long wrecking bar. Any crowbar that can smash a skull in is way heavier than what you need to be able to smash a skull because the entire bar is the same weight. You need less than 1lbs of steel in a hammer head to crush someone's skull. A large roofing hammer is like 14 ounces. I said it is 10x heavier than what is needed. Learn to think critically.
>>218011329I don't doubt, I know for a fact
>>218011383You used that comma incorrectly, Jackass.
>>218011215I'll see your shit formation and raise
A light glaive or guisarme that isn't overly long and a slightly bigger version of the British 1796 cavalry sabre
>>218011369A 36-inch crowbar which is the most commonly used length weighs about 5 lbs. an 18-inch crowbar weighs less than that.
>>218011396what if the zombies bite your feet?
>>218011420Drop shield rim onto skull, step over carcass
A lucerne hammer. Alternatively a spear. You can easily kill them without letting them come close.You would need a secondary weapon for close quarters if you ended up fighting some in a cramped apartment. For that, I'd go with a flanged mace or a machete for the additional use of helping you get through overgrown areas.
>>218011418How will you clear houses with that?>>218011419That's pretty heavy compared to a large sword or hammer desu
>>218011396Quite possibly the single most retarded choice possible for a zombie apocalypse. You're just begging them to swarm you.
>>218011436idk if you're gonna crush a skull with a wooden shield. also you guys should just build a castle instead of using shields you lazy bums.
>>218011451Leave it outside and use the sabre I guess
>>218011386>You used that comma incorrectly, Jackass.While you were studying punctuation, Anon was studying The Blade...
>>218011463>I don't want them to close in on my shielded threshing machine
>>218011471A sabre seems a poor choice for cramped spaces, they're decently long and oyu need space to swing them.
>>217992019Sharp stick is all you need
>>218011464
>>218011488What threshing, where are the weapons? Hidden until the last second when 5 zombies grab and pull each shield off while 5 others bite into your face? The phalanx is the infinitely superior option
>>218011419Go pick up one and carry it around all day and swing it at a heavy punching bag a few times an hour then tell me it's not heavy.
>>218011489Most houses are really not that cramped I'll avoid going into tiny ones
>>218011513>that level of coordination>zombiesJust take the L, anon
>>218011471>>218011489Riot shielf would be good for clearing houses desu>>218011502now ur just being racist against me cuz im Scottish :..(
A boar spear and a seven foot wide chainlink fence that I can wear as a backpack and has footstand supports. When it's time to do battle I will set the fence down in front of zombies and eye stab them through the fence.
>>218011539How is that coordination? Were you expecting a swarm to politely wait to one v one every soldier?
I'd be in my truck with my dirtbikes and gas cans in the back with my pistols, shotguns, rifles, ammo, dog, cooler filled with food and huge LED spotlights... Feels good being American. Maybe I need a sword desu
>>218011553Based
>>218011562Please learn how a mob works, then remove the mind behind it's actions. If you aren't a complete dunce, you should then be able to deduce why an aimless, uncoordinated horde is the worst thing to be when facing a Roman formation in close combat.
>>218011262That's not how it was defeated. Everyone had peltasts and skirmishers before Rome. The Romans innovation was smaller better drilled companies.
>>218011636thanks for tanking the zombies for me while I kidnap the womens in my trucky truck truck and drink shit loads of beer. i will drunkenly sing songs of your bravery to the women.
>>218011578based and comfypilled
>>218011723did I mention the heated seats?
>>218011716The women beat this dork up haha
Those colored smoke bombs you get at photography stores could be good for confusing zombies unless they just follow their nose>>218011737There's no women alive that can beat me up. Certainly not the 115 pounders I am interested in claiming in this brave new world.
spear or some kind of polearmmore importantly some kind of armor that can withstand a human bite. even wearing several layers or duct taping your shit is enoughI don't understand zombie movies where they just wear plain clothes
>>218011750My favorite was the spinoff where one kid wears a corduroy suit the entire show because it can't be bitten through
>>218011638almost none had pilums, which whioe maybe not essential were still critical to anti phalanx tactics
>being in melee at all evereven 1% risk is too much. you are all stupid. the real giga brain solution is to strap a long but somewhat light plough of some kind onto a cart. probably custom plough, customized wheels. bowl over anything in your way, keep a couple of long sharp sticks to stab anything that manages to crawl towards you as you pass. fuck actually fighting. and this is coming from someone who actually has been in a number of fights, sporting and real. they suck. you always get hurt. you're retarded if you want to go toe to toe with things that also give you retard zombie infections when they hurt you. of course you are all definitely retarded so no surprises there.
>>218011716>I kidnap the womensCareful, Anon! You're in the [current year] TWD universe, look at OP's pic to see which kind of women survived in the end. The best looking one is a inexplicably bogged dyke.
>>218011909Eventually you will stop and go inside a building better to have a machete with you when you do than nothing to keep other people away from you
>>218011939the only buildings I'm going into are ones that are designed around carts anyways. let's say the ploughs detach. Going in anything with crampy spaces is also fucking retarded and pointless.
>>218011962*Throws a molotov onto your plough car*Heh nothing personell
Is this a screen shot from the day the zombies started? Otherwise it just looks like pure shit.>hair done>makeup >brand new clean clothes>fat
>>218011987and again, how is a melee weapon going to stop that? obviously I take my firearms with me that I already have for the purpose of dealing with people trying to kill me. as previously stated, you're a fucking retard.
My trusty Katana dual wielded with Wakazashi, of course. I studied the blade in preparation for the Zombie Apocalypse.
>>217993749Shaun of the dead had several possible causes hinted at at the start of the film and then the cause was never even thought of, it really doesn't need addressing to make a good product out if it.
>>218012008The show is set years after the outbreak, they're pampered kids from a recently-fallen settlement with no experience of the world outside.
>>218012026You no longer have your car retard think for a minute
>>217992019A katana, obviously. Perhaps a pike, too.
>>218011939a machete is useless against a zombie thoughbeit
>>218011962>never taking risksYou will starve out in the open while I raid delicious cupboards filled with cans of spinach and creamy corn soup
>>218012105in this fictional scenario you get mobbed and die for poking your nose around in places without treating them with the utmost care and paranoia. I probably die from boredom or the first natural disaster that rolls around.
Heh. I don't need a weapon kid. *cracks knuckles* let's do this!
>>218011451>How will you clear houses with that?I wouldn't, I would just listen. And that's what no-one else did.
>>218012206I don't need a weapon either. I need to be a minority and seduce a divorced, kick-ass business owner mom with two kids and she will outwit this disaster and save the world.
>>218009705"Anon goes slowly insane before starving to death surrounded by an endless inescapable tableau of moaning rotting horrors pressed and smearing against his dual pane glass windows"
>>218011255This, a baseball bat is completely useless once you lose your ball, and don't even get me started on the catchers mitt.
>>217992019I own one of these, a wood burl WAR club. It would easily crack skulls, fracture bones, etc.. Used for that specific purpose. And it won't fall apart it's one single piece of wood. Its nuts. Typically refers to a traditional Native American weapon or ceremonial object hand-carved from a tree burl — a dense, knotted growth with intricate grain patterns prized for its strength and beauty. Roughly looks like this one. I've also got a vintage Kukri, very well made, which has combat advantage over more typical machetes. Beyond that, something with a longer reach could help. Simple spears. If I had to trek out into the field though, I'd keep the war club and kukri on my person
>>218012732I mean really, put down the flimsy baseball bats and find yourself one of these.
>>218011729no
>>217992019Nuclear bomb
same, mancatchers was my first thought. seems very easy to lethalize it as well.
>>217999999witnessed
>NOOO NOOO YOU MUST SMASH THE BRAIN INTO ITTY-BITTY PIECES!just take out the brain-stem/cervical spine. why would you choose to aim for some of the strongest bones in the body (skull plates) versus just hacking off their neck (literally the most vulnerable part of the human body).>b-but the zombies will surely be rotted and disintegrating!how fast do you retards think bone decomposes to the point of significantly losing structural integrity? you think your little onions swings of your mace will magically get a +10 in strength because you're in apocalypse-mode? just one-tapping every zombie that comes your way?99% of you will be undead retards.
>>217993304>>217993309why can't we have cool shit like this pouring over to the west instead of kdrama slop
>>218009620kek
>>218011533Like the other anon said, crowbars aren’t used for slashing like a sword. You would ideally clonk them in the head with the blunt end or rip and tear with the reverse end. If you are swinging it you’re a dumbass and would likely drop it or fumble it in your grasp.
