What would be the best melee weapon im thinking about a crowbar, a axe, a trench spike, a trench knife, a double kuni

personaly i would go with a crowbar. about 3 foot one would give you alot of skull crashing power. axe would be ok in a pinch but swinging it would throw you of balance leaving you vunerable. trench spike mite be my number 2 out of your choices but unless you know who to talk to or how to make one then your screwed

I Think a Halligan bar would be good in an open area, but an ice pick or hatchet would be good in close combat

those work well to

i personally think a aluminum or metal baseball bat because it is light and it is, mostly, unbreakable

actualy aluminum ones are gonna ding and get weak then break

oooh right. well then a chainsaw. even though it makes a lot of noice it cant break but it can run out of gas. i dont know about mele weapons. i would rather just use some firearms.

its the safest but you can run out of bullets. chainsaw will throw blood everywhere. and get jamed

u gotz a problem wit everything i say dont u? haha!

the chain can also break easily because its not designed to cut through bone, you want something silent, strong, and sturdy, and doesn't require fuel or ammo, remember a melee is just a back up

no i dont. its justsome things wont work

After alot of thought about it im thinking a smooth bladed bayonet about 7 in with a crowbar or Halligan bar for primary with a trench spike for close range

seriously, just cave in and get a gun, you want to keep them as far away as possible, try a .22 because its the smallest caliber you can get, so its the quietest and the magazine you can have in it has no restriction so you can very well find a 200 round mag and the ammo is usually real easy to come by.... its the assassins caliber of choice there is no real need for a primary melee and a secondary melee unless the secondary is just like a knife or something exremely small, but you will then have to carry a sharpening stone with you to keep it top shape

i actually feel better having a melee weapon with me. more reliable and less maintinence can become very handy sometimes. and without a large amount of ammo, dangerous. i jsut feel better with and nice large metal bat in my hands wen facing a ton of zombies. but a gun wouldn't be to bad alot of the time.

oh don't get me wrong, I will definately have a melee weapon on me at all times, but I will have a gun to use until I cant use it anymore then I switch to the melee and fight like that. Guns are always better than bats, or knives, or crowbars, or Halligan bars. Why do you think all wars have guns, I would love to be in a fire fight where I had a gun and the other guys had swords or something, the pwnage would be awesome indeed

i can agree jsut completly destroying a mob of zombies would be VERY pleasing but i would enjoy some getin down and dirty sometimes. slit a few throats, tabs a few eyes. just sometimes

If you're going to use a melee weapon, use something that has many uses. You need to use it for more than brain smashing for example construction etc

If your using a tool that has many uses beside being used as a weapon be sure that you do not sacrifice any of the functionality of it being used as a weapon. It would be preferable, in my opinion, to have a decent weapon that only functions as a weapon than to have a very useful tool that also can be used as a weapon, but not a very good one. I will also mention the importance of training since a great weapon in unskilled hands will lose much of its greatness. This is of course important for both melee and ranged weapons and I would strongly suggest to anyone that thinks just having a weapon is enough that they train and become proficient with whatever weapons they feel they will be using, seems obvious but as the old saying goes common sense isn't exactly common.

Well if your vary well trained then a ninja sword would be your best friend in combat.

 

If your not the i would use an axe or a chainsaw if that counts.

I'd go with a crowbar if you needed a melee weapon. You can fight with it, and it can also be used to break locks, pry open doors, and many other things as well. It is the ultimate melee weapon/tool. I'd also grab a big sheath knife.

an army style folding spade would work well and ucan useit for other things but personally i would go with a good machete or diving knife.

i think one of those large fire axes would be best, those things have some power in them. plus great for breaking open doors, walls, etc.
