Well if they're no longer able to eat, yes. Alternatively, if you manage to lodge bone chips in their head then no, but mainly because they'd be dead.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
Ah, THAT kind of mace. I'll take a morning star myself, if you don't mind. Though that would require breaking into a museum...

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
Not necessarily. I'm sure you could build one simply enough. Get a stick, some chain and then make the pointy part.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
i'm not so sure about a morning star. i would probably hurt myself. i'd prefer a classic mace, one with all the short blades attached to a single large bludgeon. a bit more control on where i hit.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
That IS a morning star. Exalion is describing a flail. The morning star is a spiked mace, basically a big solid steel sphere with lots of spikes covering it.

Maybe some cord so that they get 6 leagues under the sea... but there need to be rocks... maybe six feet from the ground, or under... damn, I need to find how labor intensive these are!

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
I think he means a pit trap above water. Or rocks. I'm not so sure either.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
Pit traps... hmmm, cord + heavy rock + deep body of water... seems like a getting dragged down into the locker trap.
Heh, but the six feet under thing is like an upgraded pit trap, either you fall into the pit, or the snares while drag you in. The six feet from the ground is the traditional snare, step in it, you get hung from a tree.
Meh, these things would be good for bridges and cliffs, or what not.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
sounds uh... complicated. i'd rather just have a compartment of maces on wire that swing down and clobber the hell out of stuff.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
Great waste of maces, they're better off in your and companies' hands than on cords.
But those snares seem simple, if they can drag fully grown adults into the air, they should be able to drag them off cliffs.

Re: (now a zombie killing effectiveness thread)
a waste of maces? who said we wouldn't have them as well? raiding a local renaissance fair should provide plenty hahaha. setting up the snare just seems more time consuming.
