plans for the inevitable undead uprising
est:
Wait, hang on a sec. I've just re-read most of the posts in this thread and I think I am doing it wrong. Let me try again.
You guys are all fucking stupid and you're all gonna get eaten. I am the only one with a foolproof plan and also the best weapons and the best experience with said weapons. Ha ha ha, have fun eating brains with your dipshit zombie pals, meatbags!
Switchblade:
On a serious note (i.e. not planning on having an entire regiment at my disposal) my weapon of choice would be a Gladius and light shield. The shield's there for warding - if I'm attacked by two at once, I can hold one off while I deal with the other.
Why a gladius? It's a short, fairly light but still powerful sword designed for chopping and stabbing. Keep it sharp and it can easily decapitate. Or, you can drive it into the brain through the forehead (less advisable because of the risk of it getting stuck, but still possible, especially in cramped quarters)
My backup weapon, assuming I could find one, would be a .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol.
The two most important parts of my arsenal, however, would be thick boots and thick gauntlets. The most likely places on the human body to get bitten are the forearms and the lower legs. Thick leather reinforced with chainmail would be enough to stop zombie teeth from penetrating. Combine that with a skiing mask and goggles to prevent infected matter from splashing in my face and infecting me that way and you've covered the vast majority of possible ways to get infected.
OnewingedAngel:
That's a good idea. However, I would go with a slightly larger calibur weapon as a .22 may or may not stop the zombie from falling on to you, where as a 9mm or .45 cal handgun will have some knockback, and looking back at the tight quarters, throwing a zombie back in other zombies *may* buy you some time. And I would recommend a longer sword for the same reason, no sense in letting them get any closer than absolutely possible.
KharBevNor:
A war hammer might be a good idea. Much better than a baseball bat. I still do not get why people are suggesting baseball bats! You MUST CONCENTRATE THE FORCE OF THE BLOW TO SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGE THE BRAIN.
For those who don't know, a war hammer:
Stryc9Fuego:
I see two problems: one is what if it gets stuck? the second is that it's good for the initial swing, but what about the backswing? with a short sword or a machete, you can maneuver it more quickly. With something that "point-heavy", it would be more difficult to bring back around.
