Alright, I've read up to page 41. And not having yet finished, I just have to say I think wehtamjd92 is full of crap. So you'd rather try to physically dismember 600 zombies than pop them through the head with a no-recoil weapon? You expect someone to run out of .22 caliber ammo before you get tired? And you are 6'1", 200 lbs and well trained in martial arts?
Full of crap.
Anyone with any training or knowledge whatsoever would realize how much force it takes to physically destroy the capability for movement or retaliation in an opponent not affected by internal organ damage nor pain. And they would also realize how ridiculously impossible it would be to do so while not being bitten, or while facing more than 2 opponents at once, intelligent or not.
Broadswords, weighing 20 lbs, are exceptionally tiring to swing, and were never "dual-wielded" for that reason. Also, blunt or not they are still cutting weapons, and when blunt would be *much* more likely to become stuck. You're asking to die, and without something to use as a shield you won't have a large blocking surface nor a practical way of knocking zombies back and creating distance to use your broadsword (which requires some distance from your opponent to effectively swing, by the way). Something along the lines of a short mace, preferably lead-filled and squarish so as to be weighty, have focused impact points and not get stuck -that's what you would want if you HAD to fight at close quarters. If you have the option of not allowing them close enough to infect you, why in hell would you let them get close?
Also, polearms are used for stabbing, and if they had a heavy end the torque required to swing them would exhaust anyone strong enough to even do so. Research the Macedonian phalanx, if you don't understand.
Besides shooting down some ridiculous theories that continue to repeat themselves from the same few writers, I'll offer my own preferred zombie solution later
Oh, and umamin or whatever is right -people are not stupid, lazy, or selfish enough to allow the zombie apocalypse to happen (yes, we are all of those things, but not on the monumental level we would need to be). But assuming people act like they do in WWZ, and rabies somehow turns a majority of the population into biting infections psychopaths, it's fun to think of how to defend ourselves.
In other words, the zombie disease already exists, and were you to infect 1000 people with rabies and release them in NYC, you still wouldn't get a pandemic. (lol?) it's just silly. But fun.
