  • For the pysicists For all of the physicists here:
    a) Is it possible to crush a human skull with this device?
    b) How does the weight of the log affect the force?
    c) How does the angle affect the force?
    d) How does the rope length/wall height affect the force?

    Thanks in advance,

  • melee weapons I believe that rocks and rubble should be combined, and unarmed should be moved to really bad options. On an unrelated note, the section for Hooligan tools was very well written.

  • Suggestions? Well, I live in Australia and am only a young girl, and, therefore, do not have any access to firearms. I do however, live near a police station, have multiple knives in the kitchen, enough golf-clubs to outfit everybody in a tournament, rolling pins, a longbow, two or three metal lunchboxes, and a cat. I was wondering, do any of you have any suggestions for any other household objects I can use as weapons? Please help, I really don't want to be caught defenceless in the Zompocalypse.

  • PROBLEM. with most weaponry you need to focus on several key things.

    1. how long is it.

    the length of the weapon reduces the users ability to wield it affectively.

    2. weight.

    The weight of it can and will wear down the user unless you have conditioned your body to prolonged use.

    3. strength of the object, everything is subject to damage over time and quality should never be overlooked versus quantity.

    4. speciality.
    Swords, spears, axes in fact nearly every weapon requires skill, joe six pack isn't going to know how to wield a katana or spear as soon as he picks it up so, if you don't know how to sue it properly, simply don't pick it up.


    5. Hang ups.

    Will my weapon get caught up in the object its hit, things again like Axes, bill hooks, pikes, spears,chain saws rakes anything with a pole of spikes will get caught up in what they hit, knights knew it, gardeners know it and so should you, only consider a spear or anything similar unless you have trained with it.

    also ammunition and fuel comes into play when you consider firearms and things like chain saws, you best bet is and always will be a stout medium length machete, simply because they are not to heavy, are a good cleaving weapon and WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF AMMO OR FUEL

  • My Melee Weapons Kick I am going through a phase of total melee obsession with an improvised weapons preference, and I thought I'd bring in a general discussion of the topic here.
    I recently checked out my shovel and hatchet while doing yard work and found the shovel to be easy to use, long enough, and and pretty tough, though breakage is possible. Also, shovels can be sharpened and used as bladed and blunt As for the ax, mine is broken, but I have experience with the ax from a young age, and I feel I could use it if I had to, but it is a bit heavy if you're not swinging straight down. The hatchet is small but effective. I prefer wooden handles. Mine doesn't have much of a blade, though. I will say more later...

  • Weapon improvement I would suggesto improve standard clubs with e.g. long nails. A baseball bat or just a broom stick become much more effective if a couple of long nails or screws are added to the business side. Adding the effect of a war hammer or horseman's pick with increased penetrating power to the skull, easier removal and less force requirements would make this the weapon of choice against single zombies.

  • improvised ranged weapon with bungee chord Due to my dads trade, there are quite a few lengths of bungee chord, tools and wood around my parents house. For those of you who are unfamiliar with bungee chord, it packs a hell of a punch, and in the hands of the unwary, can be dangerous.

    My question is: what do you think would be a better weapon: a large capapault/sling shot, or crossbow?

    For ammunition for a catapault, there are round, heavy, steel doorknobs, which are certainly heavy enough to crack a skull if launched hard enough. Of course small rocks or anything else heavy could be used. I think to be effective enough the catapault would have to be attatched to large made structure, rather than hand-held.

    For the crossbow ammunition, I have nothing with resembles a crossbow bolt. There are various long metalic objects (such as large drill bits, plimbing equipment etc) which could be sharpened into a point, but they wouldn't be very aero-dynamic. With the tools around i'd be able to make decent wooden bolts, but giving them a metal tip would be very difficult.

    Any thoughts/comments? Btw, just saying "that's crap and wouldnt work" would not be very helpful.

  • Katana & Torch My uncle made this rig a few years back while working on restoring his car. He used a small oxy-acetelene torch that he made a harness for to carry it on his back while making several cuts on the body. I use katanas on a regular basis as my own training and decided to adopt a tactic from our friend Dr. Hugo Pecos and adopt a mentality that expands beyond just zombies. I'll lop off their nugget and roast them like a new school Van Helsing.

  • burning blades have you ever taken a AA battery and made a paperclip go from one end to the other? it gets REALLY hot. it can become so hot that it will slice through you like a hot knife through butter (yes, i hurt my finger this way with a PAPERCLIP). i was thinking, if you take any weapon with a metal tip and a non metal handle, attach a battery to it, and get it REALLY hot, it would cut MUCH easier. the only draw backs i can think of is the need of batteries and the fact that it injures on touch, meaning that you will likely hurt yourself with it aswell, and burns can get infected easily...
