Haha, nah, I know how to own zombies rather well. I have a plan for making my practice Katana bladed. Get a football puncher thingy(Something for cabinets) and put some holes in it, and then get razor blades and put them into the slots, hold them in by bolts or something. Haha... ^^ Heh. I always notice that there is always someone saying that they will use their sword against a horde of Zombies. The question is how? I mean, if there is a huge group of them, and they can't feel pain, and youre attacking one of them, and the rest come at you, what would you do? |

Guess you better: Hit them really fast, Kick the ones you can't slice to buy more slicing time, and really, really hope you don't get tired before you get them all  So how's that for a really random, disturbing and unusual reason to need to go to the gym more - 'I need to excercise so I'll have the stamina to fight off zombie hordes when the apocalypse comes!'. No-ones gonna disturb you when you're on a mission like that. In fact, noones gonna talk to you at all ;D |

The problem with swords against zombies are twofold. Firstly you'd get tired pretty quickly, secondly its very likely the thing will get stuck in one of the undead bastards, and then you're pretty well stuck. The latter is minimized if you use a chainsaw, but then you have to worry about cutting your arm off.

So no wonder people haven't been talking to me latley. Anyway, i've been arguing about that with someone in the Gamefaqs forums. He kept telling me that the sword is something to be used to get away. Yeah, you could just use a sword, and slice a few, but you'll be dead tired after that, and like macondead said (hey, that rhymes  ), it will no doubtedly get stuck in one of the Zombies, so you'd lose it. And slicing them won't help either, since odds are that they won't feel pain. |

If we trust Romero the only way a sword could kill them is by either
A: penetrating the skull and destroying whichever part of the brain makes them not dead(unlikely unless its a very, very decayed skull, and you'd have to stab so hard it would tire you out faster than running on two treadmills at the same time) or
B: decapitation. Again, this is assuming removal of the head kills them, and is more likely than in situation A, but still quite easy to get the sword stuck in the zombie's neck. Again, this would take a lot out of you, and you wouldn't be able to do it for extended periods of time.
The simple fact of the matter is if swords were the kill-all end-all weapon guns would never have been invented, and if they were no army would use them.

Yes, but. It's the simple fact that I have one, and a moderatly powerful hit from one of these: www.aikidoka.fr/boutique/images/KA-2-7-001-1_normal.jpgCAN seriously injure/kill a normal human being. I've had it for months, I practice with it and I can swing it atleast 60 times WITH force, without getting too tired. My arguement about it is, it's not gonna be hard to smack a zombie in the face with it if they aren't smart enough to stop it. The razorblades will be present to simply help destroy the resistance of the skin and such, in hopes I could shatter the skull and send a fragment into their brain. Besides, if that fails, I still have my Dad's crowbar(Heavy mother fucker), portable drill, hammer, mallet, staplegun, portable saws I could plug in and saw their heads in as they walk in, ect, ect. |

I don't think it would be 2.0 Zombies. Oh BTW, i had a dream last night that i was back in my old home in NYC, where there was a nationwide Zombie epidemic. Needless to say, weapons were not scarce.
Also, i've trained in the Chinese martial arts (Zhan Zhuang, Qi gong, Shao lin, Tai chi, Jeet kune do, and some kung fu) and one Japanese art (Hapkido), and i don't think even those would suffice incase of an Epidemic, especially with the type of weapon training those arts give ya. I just don't see someone fighting a horde of Zombies with a sword, and managing to kill them. Maybe if you just try to stun one to get em out of the way, so you could run from a bunch on your tail, but that's the only use i see for it.

Well either way, I still believe knowing some sort of self defence with any type of weapon would be better than not knowing anything at all.

Yeah, that's a good point. So basically, it's best to use it as a weapon to get away from like 1 zombie if youre running away.
Also, doesnt anyone find it odd that in the Romero movies, the Zombies can find you no matter where you are? I mean. in Shaun of the Dead, Shaun and the group pretended to be Zombies to avoid being attacked, and that seemed to work pretty well, but in the Romero movies, and probably a few others, the Zombies could even find you if you were hiding in the most clever spot.
