10 Best Weapons For A Zombie Apocalypse
7. Survival Machete
You don't want a sword. I know you think you do, but you don't.
Realistically, you are not Michonne. Odds are, you're more like Star Wars Kid from that 2002 viral video. Unless you've had formal sword training, you're more likely to thwack off one of your own legs than a zombie's. That said, if we're talking swords, my money would be on the kilij, a Turkish curved sword. Go back and watch the Vlad the Impaler episode of Deadliest Warrior. The kilij slices through flesh and bone like a hot knife through butter. It's exquisite.
No, you'll want something a bit more populist. That's where the machete comes in. You don't want to get too close to a zombie, but if you do, this is a good melee weapon. You want to hack and slash at a zombie's head, and the machete - as it turns out - was made for hacking and slashing. But what you REALLY want is a survival machete, with a saw blade on the dull side. That's ideal for ripping through zombie flesh and bone.
What's more, this is a quiet weapon. A rough one, yes, but a quiet one. As we've established, quiet is good.
