Alright, but let's say I want to kill a zombie; how many hits with a crowbar will it take to do enough damage to the brain to count as "destroying" it?
I mean, if I have the choice I'm gonna want to have its head off and be done with the whole thing
if you're fighting a zombie that depends on its brain, you would just need to do the kind of damage that would render the brain unusable, I would think
nails would probably get stuck at the most inopportune time. Also, a spade would also be a decent idea, can use it as a keep away stick and bury your dead, and make pit falls and stuff.
Using real weapons is for ninnies, use tools made to take a beating.

Unless you had armor on or something
Which makes me suddenly wonder: how the hell did Tony Stark get infected in Marvel Zombies?

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Oh i wasn't reading the previous conversation, i just chimed in with thing i would do. But you could like, hide out in a park, cities have those right? Live in a tree or something?
I still stick with if you're forced to use a melee weapon your odds of survival are low anyway, so use something you can comfortably carry and is useful outside of being a weapon.

I'm pretty sure zombies can climb trees.

Depends on the zombie really, Romero types could barely handle the complexity known as stairs, while return of the living dead types could use radios. Speculations and all that. It'd still buy you a few seconds and let you jab at them with impunity while they try to climb up.

God, there is just no sunny side to a zombie apocalypse.
In Highschool of the Dead they speculate that the corpses will rot to bone in the heat of summer, but the story starts in mid-winter... and hell, it might not even be true.

Where else do you purpose to hide? Popular shopping center? down town hospital? Police station? subway system? You could do worse then the park as a temporary hide out, depending on the season. Clearly if you plan to STAY in the city, that's a different story, but it's also a terrible idea.
I plan to stay in the middle of nowhere above the frost belt. The freezing and thawing of zombies would probably make them dead quicker, and since I can see everything for miles around, it's harder for them to sneak up.
I could see how you would make that conclusion. Though technically, wouldn't Arthas be a zombie? Actually, never mind.

Someone brought up the LOTR swords earlier, and they really are magnificent in an elegant, understated way. Their designs make sense, and even have some very cool features (Anduril's tang seems to become its pommel).

the same as on a normal, non-zombie person
we're talking infected human-like living zombie, one solid hit should at the very least disable them
we're talking zombies that are dead but their brains are still some semblance of alive, probably pretty similar to human types
retarded zombies where the brain has to be completely destroyed for some reason, it'll take some work
Unless you're like a ninja or something, but I very much doubt many of you are highly skilled hand to hand combatants.
those things are really hard to control, and if the chain breaks you are screwed
oh yeah a little hammer. truly the best weapon a man can use
not a bad choice. but baseball bats still break.

Because if it's the latter you might be safe on hallowed ground.

I'm not sure they're coordinated enough
sitting on top of a wal mart, plinking zombies with a BB gun sounds like fun though. just bring up a tent and shitloads of water and food

Yeah, unless one splits the fucker wide open, I guess that is what would happen. I guess I gotta go with the blunt weapon crowd then.
really quite amazing
We started discussing the effectiveness of fictional weapons and, well
we ended up on zombies
