Truth:
Zombies are the result of a PsyOps experiment conducted by the US Secret Service in order to produce a duplicate for the POTUS who would NOT attempt to take over or actually do anything such as pass new energy bills for drilling our way to independence from foreign oil.
The President? Woodrow Wilson.

Apparently they reproduced the evil nature of Wilson as well.


The Secret Service? Please. It was obviously the IRS.

Working and DMV don't often occur in the same sentence.

A zombie weapon? Melee?

Hows about a solar-rechargeable, AC-adapted electric chainsaw? Nothin' too fancy!

Eventually I'd like to make a mere, but then I'm a fan of simple and effective. Maybe someday when I have time...

I agree with rockman, a mace would be my primary choice for a dedicated melee weapon. For a weapon/tool a tomahawk or machete depending on what environment I'm in.

What are your guys' theories regarding zombies and fire?

A nice-sized medieval-style torch might do the trick.

I don't advocate getting too close to either one.

I didn't think zombies were bothered by fire...  at least that's what the zombie survey I took told me.

As far as weapons; I'm more of a pick 'em off from a distance, displace and continue moving away from the area. Planning in preventing yourself from coming into close personal contact with zombies would be where I would concentrate most of my efforts. How do you keep from getting bit by a zombie, don't let zombies get close enough to bite you.
However being caught in a close quarters rush I would favor anything that would not stick into a zombie's body. I wouldn't want to lose time extracting blades or spikes; i.e. like if you slammed a hand axe into a zombies head, seems you'd lose time recovering the weapon before being able to strike at another zombie. For me it would have to be light enought to wield with speed while being impactful enough to severely stun or kill with one or two strokes. An Apache war club like this. Light, strong, non-slip, doesn't require orientation like an axe blade or spiked club where the edge must be forward; is long enoug to keep some distance but short enough to use and control in close quarters.

The US developed anti-zombie ray projection devices back in the late 1950s. I still have mine and have been very satisfied with the performance.
Activation of the device (not really a "gun") will produce a radial broadcast in 360 degrees from the device's antena for an effective radius of 21 yards although it's supposed to be good for 25 yards.
The difference in effectivity is due to a reduced amplitude of electrical output that took place in the early 1960s. IE: we went to a 108 volt current system that was called 110 volts.
Anyone have HD TV that won't behave? Yup, low voltage. Thanks government.

Anyway, get one and set the receiver to 115 m-hrtz for civil defence self-activation.
Any zombie that enters the "cone of death" (aren't they already dead?) is liquified in about 120 seconds.
After some experimentation, I've found that AMWAY Driveway Cleaner is the only stuff that will remove the zombie sludge stains. Yes, Amway. It's actually good for something.

Proof of zombie sighting attached below.

I don't understand the desire to fight Zombies.
You can't kill them, they're already dead.
You can stop them but why?
To protect yourself and your loved ones?
Then why not just liquify them like I said earlier?

If you engage them at close quarters you risk being overwhelmed.
They will swarm you and drag you down.

If you consider a range of cantact as fighting, then why not fight them from a little farther away.

Look, here's the thing.
I have a partial box of XX government surplus atomic hand granades.
I have tested a few and found that the kill range is a little farther than I can throw anymore; even with a sling.
Therefore I have hidden in the heart of our great city one of these nasty pieces of military ordinance with a note: "ATTENTION ZOMBIES: DO NOT PULL RING."
They will know it's a trick and do just the opposit, their reasoning powers being somewhat off.

What city? Why do you want to know? You must be one of them.

What about a whip with a slicing wire at the tip ?
And some slicing-wire bolas as well ?
A chopped zombie is far less frightening  Grin

I dunno, a shambling corpse with great chunks of flesh hanging off of it, I think, would be scarier than just a standard shambling corpse. Shocked

Thunder Crap sounds like something poo flinging monkeys would use to increase the effectiveness of their weapon of choice. I like it. Been trying to come up with a task my helper monkey could take on during a zombie apocalypse. I still don't trust him with reloading a firearm after that Cheez-It episode a year or so back.
