*They’re not but hypothetically speaking, if they were, what would be your one weapon of choice?

For me, a sword every time..

For close encounters.

I’m quite looking forward to it, tbh.

Do Zombies ride bikes?

11 speed xt cassette. Have you felt the weight of those things?

yup defo a bike… to pedal away as fast as poss, to the middle of nowhere and where I could see them coming. Doesn’t need fuel and doesn’t take up much room.

Definitely a sword, an axe would be too likely to get caught up on things.

Besides, I can still remember how to use a sword – years of living in Glasgow martial arts training is still in there somewhere.

Chain saw

Or for more stealthy operations, a pair of tomahawks (actual small axes, not the cruise missiles).

The problem with guns, chainsaws etc is they’ll stop working at the worst possible time.

The minigun from Predator – the one they use to cut the jungle down

some sausage rolls from the canteen!

I’m just hoping they’ll be Walking Dead type zombies not World War Z ones, if so +1 for a Samurai sword. I reckon an axe/big hammer would be too tiring to swing after the 30th bludgeoning.

Ben earlier

He’s not going to kill many zombies holding a sword like that. And what’s with the one glove – is he going to do a Michael Jackson tribute act?

Ideally an aircraft carrier but if it has to be a close combat weapon then a fairly short sword. Anything too heavy is going to be tiring to use for an extended period.

A lot depends on which version of zombies we’re dealing with if they’re fast zombies (world war z, 28 days later) then most hand weapons are useless and I’d probably put all my efforts into finding a defendable position. With the shuffling zombies there’s more of a chance of taking them on in small numbers.

The BFG. (not the Roald Dahl one)

Lightsaber.

Like a sword, but more betterer.

One of those great big woodchippers the forestry use.

Just need to lure them in. A disposable small child dangling as bait should do the trick.

A 14lb spalding hammer for close encounters.

This Stanley tool looks like it could be pretty handy.

That’s would be good in one on one combat and handy to pillage shops , houses are cars for extra supplies.

A well stocked castle and lots of patience.

Baseball bat. Much easier to swing than a sword and won’t get caught in flesh and bone at an inopportune time. Also, you don’t have to sharpen a bat.

I carry my Zombie kit in the van at all times, the first 3 from left would do the job for me

But i have an irrational desire to add one of Groundworks GD40 cordless chainsaws to my Zombie/trail maintenance tool collection.

A local tree surgeon has one and it seems a nice bit of kit

Lots of fat mates – kick them in the knee and run leaving them to get eaten.

Might need lots of fat and stupid mates so they don’t twig on at the dwindling numbers.

The minigun from Predator

It’s tradition, or an old charter, or something.

I’m going for full riding leathers with helmet. This is so they can’t bite me. I imagine wasted jaw muscle results in a weaker bite. I would then use a combination of crowbar, hockey stick and those shite metal rounders bats from when I was at school. I reckon blunt hitting sticks would be the most fun 😀

Come on now surely has to be

I’d remove that picture quick. The new legislation, banning the sale, manufacture, rental or importation of zombie knives will take effect on Thursday. Anyone caught breaking the law will face up to four years in prison. 😯

for close combat a horsemans pick as you have the combination of warhammer and bloody big spike (bit like the lobo in the world war Z book, not the shite awful film!)

for distance, a nice modern crossbow for the silent kill. Noise is bad mmmkay (too much time playing the zombicide board game)

No it’s not, it’s a General Electric.

Mine’s a pint of large.

So lots of zombies in this apocalypse……slow or fast moving?

Guns….problem is a) cannot use one and probably miss the headshot b) you will run of ammo and need to reload so overwhelmed by numberes of zombies c) location of long term supply of ammunition could be a problem e) them guns and ammunition are heavy so fitness could be an issue.

Sword, axe, assorted implements …..problem is A) you need to close in so you need to be fairly confident brave and not a scared of zombies cat b) strength and fitness decapitation of zombies needs some fitness…. cross fit WoD zombie prep….c) space …in a confined space wielding can be difficult D) zombies overwhelm you with numbers and or speed

Fat or slow people as a diversion ….very zombies and …however they become new zombies close to you.

High explosives….mass destruction but not necessarily ensures zombies are inactive otpr unable to infect…..so may still bite.

So some seriously impenetrable armour coupled with a nice axe and short sword with enough time to learn to use a gun please.

Samurai sword…always works well for Michonne, never know why the others don’t use the same. Crossbow seems a good secondary weapon but then it depends if you seem to have infinite arrows like Daryl 🙄

That’s a specific kind of scary knife, not general household tools that say Zombie on them 🙂

I’ve often wondered if it’s worth just being a Zombie rather than worrying, you can at least get you’re own back, betting that there’s a good chance you’ll take someone down who doesn’t pay for Trail Centre parking 🙂
