"One other idea i was throwing around was some type of hammer and pick. i know how to make a good hammer head, but the spike will be a little tricky. not to mention i wanna make it have a waterproof seal, for the screw on end cap."

"It looks good against a living person, but not against the living dead. Of course it works, it's a blunt object, but can it cause terminal brain damage every single strike? There's an English expression, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." I think it applies to the warhammer which needed few changes or improvements from 1400-World War I.

@Panzieman
THe maul has more in common with a battle axe than it does with a warhammer. Swinging a 6lb maul vs a 2lb warhammer is worlds apart."

"When i made this weapon, made the entire neck out of threaded steal Rod. The 3/4 inch nuts are made of galvanized steel, the cut washers on the head work to transfer the force over a smaller surface. i designed the whole weapon based on the idea of caving in someone's skull.

But before i can claim this, I am going to test the weapon out first. what can i used to simulate a zombie head? what makes this zombie killing certified?

@Panzieman
He has a very good point. If you ever wanna see what he means, just head to a large home depot and check out the gardening section, or ask for a 6lb head sledge hammer."

"I happen to have the C.S. warhammer. It's not that heavy. The handle is ash, so it's light but strong. And the head isn't that heavy either. Not a bad weapon. I agree with everyone about the spike though. Too easy to maybe get stuck..
Look up the Cold Steel Mace. Now that's a mean, sexy beast! I'll have to post some picks of both."

"You can put it in a belt loop only if it is an one-handed warhammer
An one handed warhammer is a waste of time. The only difference it has from a claw hammer is that it has a bigger spike making it easier to get stuck. And that is something you don't want when you are already at 67cm and the next zombie comes at you.

Now you may know more than me about warhammers but what you said means you dont know that much about swords. Modern blades are easy to mantain and I can easily use a 80cm blade at corridor 1m wide. Can you do that with a 2handed warhammer?
Also you dont need perfect beheadings: just cut enough through the skull or sever the spinal cord. Just a good thrust can cut the connection between two discs in more than one ways.
Lastly I wont use a crowbar to penetrate a skull. A boar spear can do that without getting stuck"
