Where I live I know for a fact that all of my adjacent neighbors have guns, and they know that I have guns and ammo. They’ve all said when SHTF they’re coming here to party up. Not only that, most of my gun nut pals that live locally have agreed to my house as a rally place should SHTF. When I run out of ammo, (god forbid) I have enough swords and matchetes for at least 10 people, so I think I’ll be ok.

I find this topic to be kind of funny . The last time I checked there was supposedly a gun in one house out of every six , in texas its supposed to be one out of every three . Yet I have never been in a house in texas that didn’t have at least one gun in it and many had enough guns to take out a small town . When you go into a store around here you will see more than a few trucks with gun racks in the parking lot and many carry guns concealed in other places in their vehicle . In texas finding a gun is actually pretty easy , its harder to not find a gun in texas , their all over the place .

If I’m not mistaken, a boomerang was for hitting small game/birds. Whereas they carried spears, and sometimes used an atlatl(spelling) for throwing the spear harder/farther.

um, how would that work? A boomerang, even if it was made from metal sharpened like a sword and striking right on the neck would not cut a head off. It would bounce off. There’s a reason why weapons like that were never used widely in any combat. The spear on the other hand, in some form or another, was the most long used pre firearm weapon to be used as a primary arm. The sword was considered more as a sidearm, like a pistol. Always look at the past trends.

i agree with die_angel. i live in england where not even the police go on patrol with a firearm. the best handgun i know is legal is a CO2 airgun version of a berreta pistol. the only firearm i own is a single shot air pistol that takes a while to reload. so i think that i wouldnt even bother shooting a PELLET from it. the best weapon i could get my hands on right now would be the chair i am sitting on, or the table, i could use one of the legs of the table to give a zombie a good whaking! if i had quicker acces to my shed then i would get a golf club out or something… Oh, and a bushcutter, it is portable, runs on petrol, and has a lethal spinning blade at the end of it. perfect for decapitation!

Never thought of that…thanks, you just saved my life. Now, i wonder about boomerangs. The real ones, that were used for war. I bet a good throw might be enough to take off a zed head, give or take a few, depending on theirs and your position.

@Zjechy:

hedge clippers could be taken apart, at the bolt in the middle, to create something similar to two small swords. Ive done it to an old pair, if you sharpen up the blades they will do pretty well. As for using them assembled, you would need to get a large pair, some of the larger ones even have a mechanism that assists in snapping them shut, for large branches and such. applied to the neck , these might be useful, but a bit impractical if surrounded or fighting off a large group. also, it would be a one shot thing – you have to get really close to use them, and on top of that you would be extending bite-able bodyparts towards the zed. If you somehow happened to miss (unlikely, but wouldn’t it suck to die because of a fluke? ), the zed would be in very close range, and might be able to chomp you before you can recover.
