What is the best weapon for fighting off zombies?

Answer 1

Most people don't take zombies seriously. A lot of answers to zombie questions are just trying to be funny. This is not one of those answers. This is a serious overview of the best and worst anti-zombie weapons. The information I have compiled here may one day save your life.




As for weapons you’d want, most people would think that the biggest, fastest weapon is the best. They are wrong. The only way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain. Conservation of ammo is second only to survival, and you can survive with a slower weapon. If there was a best gun, it would probably be the semi-automatic rifle. Good range, and one bullet fired every time you pull the trigger. Fast, but not too fast.

With melee weapons, pretty much any sharp object or bludgeon can be used.

Bludgeons are heavier than bladed weapons, as they need the force to crush the skull. Things like sledgehammers and pipes are strong, but are too heavy for those on the move. Weapons like metal baseball bats are good for one or two fights, but start to bend after a while. One of the best bludgeons is the crowbar. Not only can you smash zombie skulls with it, you can also use it the way it was designed to be used.

Among bladed weapons, two of the best ones are the katana and the machete. The katana has good range, and is a strong weapon, but might be harder to find and be expensive. The machete is cheaper and much more common.

Melee weapons to avoid are power tools, like drills and chainsaws. Many people think they are the best weapons against zombies, but they're not. What happens when you run out of fuel? The weapon becomes about as useful as a hand held stereo. Carrying more fuel increases weight, and the chainsaw weighs about ten pounds already. Also the spinning teeth of a chainsaw can't tell the difference between zombie flesh and your flesh.

Also, never use fire. Many people have made this mistake, and most have paid with their lives. While it is one of our greatest weapons against the undead, it is also a great threat to ourselves. Nothing will survive if the fire burns out of control, and keeping control of it is nowhere near as easy as it sounds.
