Best close combat weapon

weapon of choice for close quarter combat

[mattifikation]

I went with a baseball bat. When it comes down to close quarters, I'm not worried about killing zeds anymore. I just want something that can knock them out of my way so I can escape or make my way to something that goes bang.

I think the axe would be the best out of those, but only if it is a hand axe. A normal sized one would be to cumbersome. Next, I would go with the baseball bat.

Hand-to-hand fighting is exhausting, more so than most people realize, and dangerous too. So you don’t want to fight unless you have to. And if you have to fight – and this is especially true against multiple zeds – you should make every attack count. That’s why I’m going with a baseball bat. It’s lightweight, fast, easy to handle, and packs a powerful skull and joint crushing wallop. I think the other weapons on this list just present too many issues. Although certainly capable of inflicting a death blow, penetrating weapons such as machete, axe, pickaxe, hammer (claw end) and even a shovel, all run the risk of getting stuck, especially on a head-shot. Chainsaw? They make for good Hollywood, but are heavy and unwieldy, and don’t cut through flesh and bone as quickly and easily as FX men would have us believe. In real life I think most of the chainsaw-as-a-weapon’s effectiveness is a function of its fear factor. Unfortunately, I don’t think zeds are going to be afraid of a chainsaw. And as far as a cordless drill is concerned, ...well, it might sound like a cool idea to drill holes in zeds’ heads, but think about it. It’d probably be more effective use simply as a bludgeon.

Yep, gimme a baseball bat, and make sure it’s of the good old fashioned type – wood, not aluminum. ‘Cause I’m bustin’ heads, not hittin’ long balls!

My PERSONAL Zed killing, hand to hand, close quarter combat weapon!

I chose axe, but I would prefer hatchet or other hand axes. But if hatchets aren't an option, then I still choose axes, as I'm better with those than the others.

Definately the baseball bat for me! Their weight makes it easy to recover if you miss hitting a zombie, and they pack a big-ass punch to a rotting zombie skull! My second choice would be something like a large wrench or crowbar that would last in the long run.

pray you have time to get ahold of some metal working equipment, like a welder

[DarthJoe8]

What....no crowbar??

[fester_hicks]

Im thinking if I had time, I'd be making my own close-combat weapon, probably a very sturdy battle hammer of some sorts.

ROFLMAO

I chose the machete because if you have an extremely sharp machete then you could chop up a zed to fit in a key hole.

The chainsaw would be for the big people who can swing those things around their heads.

And the axe is useless. You get your axe wegded in some zeds head then you might as well start spitting at them.

haha that gave me a good laugh mate

[detpat]

an axe handle would be better than an axe, the material is solid and narrow to focus the impact.

[Cyber Bishop]

I chose baseball bat..
It can be used quickly and can inflict serious damage.

[Zombie_215]

Baseball bat and a hammer as secondary weapon.

But as DarthJoe8 said:
