Zombie Apocalypse

The zombie apocalypse. If you're smart you are making your preparations now. Studies show that 72 hours after the initial outbreak infecteds will outnumber susceptibles. Too late to head for Wal-Mart to stock up on supplies. You'll either be eaten or killed by other panicking susceptibles.
Firearms are an important part of your post-apocalyptic arsenal. Firearms allow you to do a lot of damage from a safe distance without over exerting yourself. However, firearms are dependent on ammunition, the availability of which is not guaranteed. Also, both the firearms and their ammunition can fail. You'll need to have more tricks in your bag if you're going to survive.
Obviously we are going to need to have a means of self defense that is not prone to mechanical failure or the inability to use it because there is no more ammo. That is where blunt and edged weapons enter the picture.

Zombie apocalypse. If you know what I mean we're on the same page here. It's not a matter of "if", but "when". If you don't know what I'm talking about, read on.
The zombie apocalypse is a frequent topic of consideration in my workplace and in my home. I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by others who recognize the importance of preparing for this world changing event, and we spend long hours coming up with and comparing our plans for the impending day when the dead walk the earth.
Weapons are a popular topic of conversation when it comes to discussing the end of the world and the advent of the living dead, but most people aren't terribly pragmatic when it comes to the weapons they would like to have in their post-apocalyptic arsenal. Forget about flamethrowers, rocket launchers and similar video game inspired silliness, and while you're at it, forget about that machete too. The machete? Yes. The Machete. Throw it out. Here are my picks for your best chance at survival and maximum zombie dispatching utility.
