To follow up on my series of essential zombie tips: http://waxydan.wordpress.com/tag/zombie/ … http://zombietools.net/ are selling “Accessories for the Apocalypes”. While this:
Zombie tools sword
… seems an ideal choice if you happen to be Mila Jovovich, I, on the hand, am not a svelte genegineered superninja. I therefore have little faith in these garish show-off weapons to protect me.
I have more faith in this beauty:
ATAX super hand axe thingie
The designer describes it like this:
“You can either use it as a knife or lash it to a stick and use it like an axe. The high-carbon steel main blade measures 4-1/2″ with the tool’s overall length coming in at 5-1/2″. With the various metrics laser-etched on the blade, you can tell time (like with a sundial), measure angles, and judge distances. With some slingshot tubing, you can turn the ATAX into an arrow launcher for hunting game. The micarta handle conceals a small storage area for various survival items like matches and twine and MacGyver brand paper clips“.
As a secondary weapon I think this makes a whole lot’ve sense. If I’m to journey for some time; this integrates a lot of essential equipment. It’s small so I can get it off my belt and into a zombie’s head fairly quickly. Without the long handle of say a fire-axe, I don’t think it would carry the same momentum from my relatively puny arms… but it would do the job.
This, a riot shield, and a good pair of running shoes (made suitably bite-proof with gaffa tape) and I’m sorted.
