CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON WISELY.
By
Justin and Baker deep into our Saturday morning game of tag!
FYI – “Spears, spikes and tridents serve to skewer a zombie, keeping it out of reach but not necessarily scoring a kill. The chance of an eye-socket stab is possible, but remote. The medieval European halberd (an ax-spear hybrid) may serve as a chopping weapon but, again, requires great amounts of skill and practice to accomplish a decapitating blow. Other than using them as bludgeons, or keeping your attacker at a distance, these weapons serve little purpose.” – The Zombie Survival Guide (generously provided by CFV’s Jaala Thibault)
There you have it folks. Don’t rely on spears, spikes and tridents. Duh,

#1 Awesome picture of Justin and Baker
#2 The author also mentions that,
“the use of fencing swords (a foil or saber) is not advisable unless you have the skills to pierce said zombie through the eye socket. The author has only heard of one person doing this effectively (and it was a lucky mistake)so chances are you would be better off with a blunt object like a baseball bat.”
#3 I have an idea for the next CPC benchmark challenge (after the new year of course).
AMRAP in 10 minutes:
10 eye-piercing lunges with a foil (at a target)
100 m zombie-evading sprint
10 wacks on a tractor tire with a heavy blunt object (weighted bat perhaps?)

Thanks for the props on Justin’s and my awesomeness Jaala, I like the sound of that AMRAP but I prefer a thick length of chain with a lock on the end of it as opposed to a bat. Nothing does damage quite like that and it’s easier to conceal. Does take some practice to wield it without cracking your own skull open, perhaps most of us will just start out with the bat.
