3. Halberd

Another excellent medieval weapon, the halberd is premium zombie slaying material.

Sure, at six feet long, it may be a little cumbersome, but as far as bladed/melee weapons go, it might just be the best of the bunch. You don't have to be an expert to handle this, like you do a sword. There's only like a foot or two of blade on this thing, so if you somehow manage to impale yourself, well... you were probably holding the group back, and you will not be missed.

Its length allows you to put some space between you and your undead foes, and the end offers a few different options. The axe-like blade affords plenty of hacking and slashing opportunities, while the long blade on the very end is perfect for spearing zombies in the face from a comfortable distance.

There's even a convenient little hook on the back - originally designed with the intent of pulling riders from their horses, you can use it to hook a zombie's leg and pull it out from under them. A zombie is a lot easier to handle when it's on the ground, as opposed to when it's ambling toward you.
