know what else smashes zombies hard in the face

crowbars

know what else is not made of dumb XDD DAMASCUS STEEL FOLDED A THOUSAND TIMES LOST TO THE CENTURIES, REDISCOVERED (to make dumb weeaboo replica katanas, no less) CAN CUT DIAMONDS AND SPLIT ATOMS

I mean holy ♥♥♥♥

anyone who thinks swords are a good weapon period when compared to guns and without epic ♥♥♥♥ of training are twelve year old weeaboos

guess you fit the bill then eh

Not all that legendary, except for the mythical properties.

Anyhow, to be good with a katana you need training, and not to be a naive little child who watches anime all day.

But yeah, modern guns are way better than katanas, but I'd think using a katana would be better than pistol whipping. Crowbars have more uses than katanas, but aren't quite as deadly.

I'd think if you were dealing with one zombie a bayonet would be a good idea, you need to sever the head to kill a zombie, but at least it would keep it at bay, you know, what with being attached to the end of your gun.

If you were not in an urban area, in the outdoors, I'd recommend a halberd. It's kind of a long-shafted axe, it would be perfect for decapitation, as long as you were skilled.

Benpasko, read this thread

well grif, the reason for a hand to hand weapon is to conserve ammo. there is a finite amount of ammo that is out there, and if this is a full blown zombie apocalypse, i don't think many manufacturers are producing bullets when they're dead. and guns make noise, no reason attracting more of the problem when you could ust take a crowbar, sneak up, and bash em on the head. or whatever other weapon. either way, in this kind of situation, no weapon should be discounted as a means of survival.
