Is it okay to used a broadsword in the zombie apocalypse?

[LinkxPeach]

With the broadsword, you can chop, and slice a lot of zombies in your surroundings.

[Jabberjaw]

How many times can you swing a broad sword per day quickly enough, without losing all your strength?

Gotta think efficiency. Bang for your bug. Gotta keep the output/weight ratio high. Projectiles are the biggest bang for your buck. Guns, crossbows, bows, spears (projectile ability but close range effectiveness) then close range weapons that have power but still light. Spear, katana, short sword, long knives/machetes, hatchet, clubs and so on

[Jabberjaw]

Side handle baton and expandable baton with wrist strap would be good too

[LinkxPeach]

So, you basically need a lot of weaponry training before the zombie apocalypse.

[Jabberjaw]

Na, just get a gun lol. Watch some basics. I'm just listing good options

[LinkxPeach]

Yeah, but what if you run out of ammo?

[Jabberjaw]

Crossbow and take the arrows back

[LinkxPeach]

Cool. Shouldn’t you used a sword, and crossbow too?

[Jabberjaw]

That mix makes sense, but me personally I would rather have a spear over sword. Allows for more range if we do get into close quarters. Zombie has to run through my spear to get to me, but I can still slash if I want to.

Think 300 spartan spear

[Jabberjaw]

Now that I think about it, it would be pretty dope to fight zombies Spartan Phalanx Style with shield and spear shoulder to shoulder lol. Crossbows up to hit them hard before we roll them

[LinkxPeach]

Sword, and crossbow sounds so badass. But, spear, and crossbow sounds pretty darn handy.

You can also get some of the gore in your mouth, wound, eyes, nose, ears etc.. People don't know how messy that gets. I would prefer shooting at a distance to not get infected, bow first, gun only as a last resort. I think a 2-man garrot made of piano wire could do some damage as well.

The no guns unless necessary is two fold. Makes a loud bang that could draw more attention to you & not just the zombies but also the people desperately wanting resources / weapons. In such a scenario people would be as dangerous as the zombies.

[SnakeBoop]

Probably depends if you have the stamina to maintain it. And the resources to maintain the sword.

[Still-alive]

Wow you reminds me of Conan the Barbarian lol

[ShadezMcgee]

I mean, you could use it but whether it is a reliable and effective weapon against a swarm of them is another story. You need to understand that swinging a weapon like that is stamina heavy that should be built with training with it and to go on top of that swords are fairly difficult to use because they require precision in terms of cuts to truly do damage.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Sure, if that's what you wanna do.. Go swish away till your heart's content.,

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its better than nothing.

But needs constant sharpening and maintanence


and lots of training, to use it effectively.

[BCRanger10]

I'd prefer to use this awesome thing...

[SlothySlob]

Using a sword, any size requires actual skill. Blade alignment is a thing. If you don't know how to properly use a sword, you may as well use a club.

[call_me_scar]

Depends if someone actually has training with the weapon that doesn't consist of swinging it in the backyard for fun if not then your safe bet is a blunt object like a baseball bat

[wa1t1ngFuture]

Woww nice 🔪🔪🏹🏹🏒🏒🏑🏑🏏🎃🧨🧹🧹🔧🔨⚒️⛏️🛠️✂️🗡️⚔️💣

[driven159]

I have a crossbow and two machetes so bring those brain-dead things on oops don't have to be a zombie to be brain dead just look around better get more weapons

[CuriousMufuxka]

Well unless they're feral. Those fuckers move fast..

[UnknownGagsUser]

Yes you can use anything i assume 😅

[Agape93]

Yeap, but its a shit idea
