I've got to say, some of you are going to die hella quick. Why would you choose a sword as a primary weapon?! It's madness. You've got 50 zombies bearing down on you from a distance. What are you going to do if they all reach you at once? Shotguns are semi-alright, as long as you get the kind which can hold 6 rounds at once, otherwise you're screwed on the reload times.
Skillz. :ninja:Quote:

50 zombies? Sounds like breakfast to me. :evil:Quote:
Known abilities
* It can go from dagger length to regular sword length as Lion-O calls upon its powers with the famous "Thundercats Ho!" chant.
* Lion-O can summon the sword to his hand with a simple command.
* The sword can shoot energy beams and produce a protective force field.
* The Eye within growls to warn Lion-O that he or his fellow ThunderCats are in danger, and can also grant him Second Sight ("Sight Beyond Sight") so that he may see what danger awaits. However, the Sword has no psychic powers in the way that Second Sight will reveal what happened in the past or what will happen in the future - it only reveals what's happening then and there.
* It can be used to enter/exit the Book of Omens and even travel through time and space when used in conjunction with the Book.
* Apart from the Signal, the Sword of Omens has many powers, such that it is often treated as a general plot device.
Sounds a tad overpowered...Quote:

We're talking about a zombie apocalypse, here, and you're worried about being overpowered? :shock:Quote:

It's ok, though. I'll be sure to lend you a hand when you're scouring around for ammunition. :cheers:
Like you said, I'm stationed at Hogwarts. Hence I could just enter that ol' Room of Requirement (Requiring? I'unno) where there would be stacks of ammunition for me.Quote:

Hmm. That reminds me, I wonder what the going rate for hot, French maids would be, to have the place looked over while I'm out tearing shit up. :hrm:
I suppose I could always spare a couple of house-elves, no dressing them up as french maids though.
...killjoy. :(Quote:

Well you sure as hell can't dress them.
Hehe. Well, I actually meant having them run around naked, meaning it would be part of their job description, but I think I like your interpretation better. :DQuote:

Any woman I meet out there who's still alive probably fits this description, and makes my search that much less difficult, har har har.
The Joker also does a decent job of explaining why melee is more enoyable, even though a few things in his short speech here need to be modified in order to apply to zombies. Long story short, guns are too quick. :)
Thinking realistically, you've got no chance with just a katana. I mean it's not some god-like devastating weapon that lays waste to everything in its path (like O's), it's just a bit of sharpened metal.
What are you going to do if you're cornered in an alley with no escape and about 10 zombies bearing down on you? There's no way you can take all of them at once, nor can you pick them off from afar. In short, you're zombie-food, friend.
Me, I have many options, if they were all clustered together, I'd 40mm them, if not, I'd shoot them one by one. If I happened to use so many rounds that I'd gotten through a whole magazine, I'd just swap to the pistol.
First off, I wouldn't be in an alley! I wouldn't be around the centers of any major cities either, for that matter. I'd likely be moving around from one small town to the next, or urban areas with a large spread, in order to pick up nonperishables from the local markets and gas for the bike.
The sword I decide to use wouldn't be a $15 blade from China Town either (like the one sitting in my lap as I type this -_-). The engineering that goes into the real thing is remarkable for a technology that came around about 600 years ago, and holds an edge finer even than a scalpel. A skilled swordsman can put enough into the swing that would theoretically allow it to slide through two bodies if they were lined side by side. During the feudal period in Japan, the blades were tested on real people (condemned criminals and corpses). It was a common characteristic of this particular sword that it could cut a person in two from one shoulder diagonally downward to the opposite hip, going right through the spine, ribs, clavicle, shoulder blade, and hip bone in the process. Much better than any sharpened piece of metal, which is why I hold it in high regards.
Also...
I'm not a Katana fanatic (I don't collect them), I just love the amount of work and skill that has to go into making one, and the quality of the blade after it is complete. I'd also have a much more enjoyable time hacking away at zombies with one, as opposed to shooting them. Guns, for me, kind of take the fun away.
Here I go…

Primary weapon: WWII M1 Garand semiautomatic rifle
Secondary weapon: trench knife/spike, aka “Knuckleduster” (preferably 2, one on each hand)
Vehicle: Kawasaki ZX6R motorcycle
Armor: the old outfit of the Moon Knight (little-known Marvel superhero)
Battle Anthem: “Ghost Opera” by Kamelot
Sidekick: Wolverine (who else?)
Stronghold: the ziggurat at Ur (reconstructed, with its stairways destroyed to impede zombie advancement)
Location: island about two miles from mainland
Last Words: see above
(Btw I’m a zombieaddictfanatic) :D
The M1 Garand? Why?
Nice and retro, I guess
Those things were built to last. They knew how to make durable guns back then.
If you took a modern semi and used it as a bludgeon to cave in a zombie skull, you could easily damage the gun.
But the Garand doubles as a club and will not break under stress like modern rifles.
Thinking about it, a bow would be useless against a zombie, unless I could shoot so fast that I pierce the skull and go right through the brain ... which is what I'll pretend I can do
The bow can be for hunting real food once you get tired of unperishables from the local supermarkets. :)Quote:

Yes but that ignores the enormous skill required to hit a small, fast moving target (zombie head) with a projectile that is actually very slow, therefore necessitating the need to predict where you're enemy is going to move and shooting ahead.
Well said, my good chap, well said. :clap:
