I think he means bokken or somesuch, which is basically a slightly curved long club with a hilt. About the same caliber as baseball bat but you get usually more leverage and it's evenly thick. Not so good against zombies though (not enough mass to really penetrate the skull effectively).arbites_augmented 说:

Maximilian 说:I know what he means, but he keeps talking about his wooden katana, and how he would love to fight zombies with it.
And it really annoys me how HE is the hero of his novel.

Brooks, while a good "historian", is very off on the efficacy of armor and katana on zombies. While I agree with his assertion that semi-automatic battle-rifles would be the most effective anti-zombie weapon, I do not agree that a katana is anywhere near the cqc weapon he thinks it is. A shotgun, however, could be very effective when loaded with slugs and aimed at the face.Redcoat - Mic 说:... Not literally fear. Geez, noob.
But head crushing items (bats) are good against zombies. Coincidentally, shotguns suck. See "The Zombie Survival Guide".

Uh huh. A BB gun is going to take down a zombie. Good luck getting through the skull. As to the bokken, I doubt it. An ash staff can break a face, but its got a lot more leverage, and even then, its not really going to **** up the brain. Knock somebody out, sure, which will lead to death, but its certainly not pulverizing the brain. Repeated hits might, but in the time you get those hits off, you've been eaten.maker_of_pixels 说:You dont understand the bokken. Its made of pure oak, is longer than a bat, and is very sturdy. I could imagine easily taking on lone zombies and perhaps groups, but i doubt it would break that easily. I also have a BB gun, which I might use. I mean sure its not lethal enough but Its better than your fists.



And of course ammo would be plentiful. Someone's been reading a guide.arbites_augmented 说:A .22 rimfire semi-automatic, I could see using. At medium range, the bullet has enough power to break through the skull, but that's it. It can't break out of the skull, the meaning being that the brain would be pulverised as the bullet richochets inside.
