Whats with all these improvised weapons? Just go to the hardware store and buy a 6 lb sledgehammer. Its light enough you can swing it all day, and a zombies head will cave like nobodies business with one off those bad boys. Do not attempt on alligators. They have much thicker, more durable skulls than us wimpy humans/zombies and best case scenario it would only dissorient it and scare it off. Worst case, it gets super pissed/hungry and eats you for a tastey mid morning brunch.

As a side note, you can use your nice light(if you havent practiced swinging hammers/axes that should tire you out pretty quick) newly purchased hammer for training hitting old tires or stuff because its fun/good conditioning.[/quote]

a sledge hammer is just as improvised as a bat. and i’ve always wanted to hit someone with a barbell, and this would be the perfect oppurtunity…i don’t have spare tires laying around at my apt. in buffalo all my fun training stuff is at home… like the sledgehammer

How about the laser at the end of “Congo”? That would would work pretty damn well. Maybe a little heavy but unlimited ammo and could slice and dice multiple zombies easily.

The Congo gorilla laser was actually my first choice, but decided to keep my choices limited to what actually exists, although the TRW laser is still in development.

I mean, I’d love a lightsaber, but more’s the pity, there just ain’t any to be had.

Haha, hell yeah a lightsaber would be my first choice of melee weapons as well.

So long as we’re talking about fantasy weapons, how about the Predator’s shoulder mounted laser cannon and cloaking technology?

Run out of energy too fast and then you’d be vulnerable while recharging.
(if we take the AVP games into consideration)
The marines’ smartgun/cannon would probably work better, at least as long as you’re not fighting in too tight quarters. Bitch to carry the ammo around though, I suppose.

And the cloaking device would only help if zombies relied on sight alone to find their prey… Depends a lot on which kind of zombies would be around I guess (diseased people, dead but resurrected people, etc).

Well, shit, if we’re gonna talk movie weapons, then I want a Zorg ZF-1.

Ah, true true. I guess I was more so basing it on the premise of never having to worry about running out of ammo and being able to move around unseen (although your point about zombies relying heavily on their other senses, smell in particular, is a good one).

A sledgehammer, as well as a bat, is made to hit stuff. A barbell is not, is heavy, awkward, and heavy. A bat would be ok, but I think a sledghammer would be better as it would have greater stopping power. Even a relatively small one, like a 6-8 pounder, would drop a zombie with a decent(not great) hit. A baseball bat or pipe however would take a really good hit to kill a zombie, and as such would be tiresome to swing so hard so often.
If you dont have direct access to a sledghammer, I would recomend buying one. If you fail to take my advice by the zombie apocalypse, then get your improvised weapon, and stealthily make your way to the hardware store and collect some axes and hammers. You can get a single bit axe with a blunt side, you could use the blunt side as a zombie killer(to prevent it from getting stuck in zombie bones), and the axe as a tool. If you need to cut down a tree(for firewood, a shelter, or trap) or through a door, an axe would be great. The utility of such a tool is immeasurable. A real hammer also has immeasurable utility.

Yeah that would be a good one as well. Though I don’t know how useful the “replay” function would be in a zombie fight (unless you were only facing one zombie maybe). The flame thrower and missile launcher would be nice though.

I am pretty sure whole milk is a new zombie killer.

The fact that I post a lot doesn’t make me a whore.

The fact that I am easy to get into bed does, however.

These dudes are ready! They even have somthing called ZRT- zombie response team.

Just thought of a kick ass one. How about that laser cannon that the terminator had in Reese’s dream in T1? It looked like freakin vulcan cannon, but shot lasers instead of bullets.

Can’t find a vid of that flashback scene so hopefully you guys know what I’m talking about.

fyi, you know that was frank columbo?

Yeah, cool little piece of trivia.

Here ya go, Sentoguy.

More trivia. Franco Columbu also had a cameo in Conan the Barbarian, as the blue-painted Pict scout in the opening sequence when Conan’s village is raided.


GAU-17 capable of 3000 rounds per minute.


Maybe an anti-tank rifle would be better?

Definitely a must-have for perimeter security. I can do without anti-tank weaponry, as zombies’ strength is in their numbers and you only need a round strong enough to penetrate skull. More small arms with high rate of fire FTW.
