What's Your Ultimate Zombie Slaying Weapon?

[TheStatutoryApe]

Zombie Slaying Weapon of Choice...

I did this a couple years ago but let's do it again.

If the Zombie Apocalypse came what would be your zombie slaying weapon of choice? Vote and post a description and/or reasoning if you would like.


[strike]I'm trying to add a poll here but I haven't done it in a while so it may not show up. I can't find the area to add poll options at the moment.[/strike]

edit: Got the poll up. It allows multiple choices if you like to pair up.


Mine would be a sword or cricket bat (no need for ammo or reloading) though I have always loved the prosthetic chainsaw hand in Army of Darkness.

The rotating blades would cut a wound in the patient's skin, while the cylinder would be used to produce a vacuum that sucked up the blood.

rootX, if I ever become a zombie, I will never come near you. That is the most horrifying thing I've seen in years.

Amazing how zombi-ism goes back to our founding fathers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington#Retirement_and_death
Modern doctors believe that (George) Washington died largely because of his treatment, which included calomel and bloodletting, resulting in a combination of shock from the loss of five pints of blood(from that device pictured above!), as well as asphyxia and dehydration.

[Sorry!]

Would have to say bladed weapon or a rifle. Bladed weapon because it will last pretty much forever... only downfall is you have to get close say there are a lot of zombies... rifle of course just stake out a buildings roof picking them off... this assumes you have plenty of ammo (and your bladed weapon... oh yeah and a handgun sidearm just incase)

 

[NeoDevin]

I want a giant sword and a motorbike, like in ff7.

 

[Pythagorean]

if it's traditional, slow moving zombies - a shotgun or a chainsaw

 

[Hurkyl]

I would say to rent a Godzilla -- however, you should never fight zombies with something that's hard to kill.

 

[Moonbear]

I'm opting for fire (flamethrower) and a chainsaw. The flamethrower would be best for getting them before they're within grabbing distance, but doesn't require as much accuracy under pressure (i.e., when I'm screaming and running) as some of the other options. If a zombie does get closer, then I want something powerful and quick to zip off their head...or whatever else gets close first...and that's the chainsaw.

And Happy Halloween everyone!

 

[archis]

Hmm, weapon of choice. I would take the spoon, yeah definitely the spoon.

 

[arildno]

De-zombification powder. One puff into a room filled with zombies is enough to dezombify them all, and then we can all live happily ever after.

 

[Pinu7]

As a zombie expert, the simplest weapon works... love.

Happy Halloween, PF! Anyone dressing up as the Klein-Gordon equation?

 

[ideasrule]

How about a laser to aim at their eyes?

 

[Evo]

I had to say shotgun. You don't need to be too close, and from watching many zombie films, if you blow their head off, it's a guarantee they don't get back up.

 

[BigD]

A 12 gauge pump-action shotgun with an extended magazine would probably be the most effective, but I would definitely have to go with the chainsaw for its fun factor.

 

[WhoWee]

I went for the flamethrower and a vehicle. I'm getting lazy.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

I'd say a GBU-34/B (MOAB) out of the back of a C-130. Or a B-2 loaded out with B61. Or several BGM-109 Tomahawks. Anything with a large blast zone.

Also along those lines a M29 recoilless rifle with M-388 ammunition would be good.

But in a bit more reality I'd have to say a 10 Gage. With a flamethrower for wider defensive needs. And a good sharp daishō for my last backup.

 

[kotreny]

I would use a vehicle--specifically, the family minivan. That way, I wouldn't have to spend money on anything new.

I think you've got a little bit of overkill there.

 

[Hurkyl]

I think you've got a little bit of overkill there.

There is no overkill -- there is only "open fire" and "time to reload".

 

[archis]

Why anybody things zombies must be shot? Maybe in real life they are very kind and polite beings.

 

[Elektrolik]

Machete and/or crowbar and semi-automatic carbine.

 

[Topher925]

Sub-machine gun and a segway, the only way to kill zombies.

 

[WhoWee]

Sub-machine gun and a segway, the only way to kill zombies.

Now that's funny!

Didn't know you were a fan.

wow. Is that even necessary in real life? Honestly.

 

[Borek]

As for me at the moment Wizard's Fury spell does the trick. That is:

Fire damagae 10 pts for 15 secs on Target
Frost damage 30 pts on Target
Shock damagae 30 pts on Target

Cast two or three times.

 

[masterchief17]

I'd want to be wolverine, or superman...
slice and dice, or just fly through them all...

 

[LBloom]

shotgun and shovel, the classics
