all hail the katana!!!!

[Forseliz]

no its the most light and the most sharp sword in the world ... it requires great skill to wield and well they probably dont expect people like YOU to understand

@255Knights the problem with most European swords of comperable weight and size is their one handed grip, additionally, most european swords are straight bladed, and designed for chopping, which requires the more energy to do the same amount of damage, they are also deigned to stab, and it requires both an extreme amount of precision and a lot of power to penetrate the skull and damage the brain, that is why the Katana surpasses most European blades

with a sword i dont think u would nessicarily remove the head just sever the spine. it wont kill a zombie but its just going to be a head on the ground trying to bite your legs and cant go anywere

as for buck shot all you need is one ball going through plus the other 8 have a chance to shoot his friends

FUCK MAX BROOKS!

Sword as a weaopn sounds stupid to me. It takes some force to remove a head from its torso... And you don´t want to get zombie-blood even near you (sword=lots of blood).

Now u might think ur gonna go Rambo on these Fuckin corpses but in real life u wouldn't want to get close enough to cut one with a sword.

shield and short sword or claymore

@255Knights

Actually, it gives them a special benefit against bone, because it decreases surface area making it ideal for heavy chopping.

@AssholePatrol Umm true curved swords are going to be a bit better vs flesh...
