How to find the perfect weapon

When looking for a weapon that is the best personal weapon for killing zombies, it is important to consider some major factors that need to be thought of.

The first thing that should be put into consideration is how easy it would be to cut through the head of the zombie, because it is essential to quickly and cleanly kill the zombie, and still have enough time to react to any other zombies in close proximity. One weapon that is very good at doing the job is a katana. It is good because no bullets or ammunition are needed, there is no limit on how much time can be spent shooting, and how sharp they are. They are also good because no reload time is needed, and that time it takes  to reload can be deadly.

Another meelee weapon that fills this standard is an axe. It does the same as a sword, but it has a few drawbacks. The first being how the surface are of the sharp part is much smaller than a sword. It also has a heavier weight which can cause a delay between killing, which might equal death.

Short? Medium? Long Range?

     Hey viewers!  Last time we talked about the where and how to survive a zombie apocalypse.  But what happens if you have a face to face encounter with a zombie or five or ten zombies.  You need to be prepared.

     Each person has their own favorite weapon or weapon of choice, but I'll explain the pros and cons of a few in the short, medium, and long ranged categories. I'll start with a sword/spear.  The sword/spear is a short ranged weapon that can be sharpened to high levels allowing one to cripple a zombie in one slice or chop.  The sword is also a stealth weapon.  If you plan on hiding throughout the whole apocalypse, the sword would be the way to go.  If the zombies in our apocalypse happen to respond to sound,  we wouldn't want to attract a hundred others while killing the one in front of us. The major problem with the sword/spear is a person's skill level with his weapon, and his ability to manage a crowd or horde fight.  Not being able to take on five or more zombies will be a man's downfall.

If you or your friends are the running type that hops from location to location running for your lives,  a medium ranged weapon would suffice. Most of the time location hoppers don't need to worry about attracting attention since they are already on the run. So noise does not factor into medium ranged weapons.

These weapons can include assault rifles such as an ak-47, or an M-16.  Each have different accuracy, damage, and range of fire,  but they serve the same purpose.  With one of these, you or your friends can keep yourself at a distance at all times.  A major drawback to a gun is finding ammunition to supply it.  If you run out, you are hopeless in a fight.

     Last of all is the long ranged.  These can include a sniper or very accurate assault rifle. They can be used in any setting, but would best serve anyone in a bunker with lots of open space around them, or in a building shooting at the ground.  With a sniper or hunting rifle, you have the longest ranged weapon available.  This means you are way far away from any hand to hand combat (the only way to die from a zombie attacking you).  Also, it only takes one shot to kill most zombies.  But here is the catch, sniper ammo runs out super quickly.  So don't be unprepared.
