What would you choose, Gamma Galan?

I have no idea. I just thought the metal was considered poor quality compared to what most European blacksmiths used at the time. Hence, the folding.

Not that it matters at any rate, I don't want to derail the thread.


Not at all. Japanese steel was far superior BECAUSE it was folded. If they'd wanted, they could have made swords like the Europeans did but they'd have had to sharpen them all over against after every major battle just as the Europeans did. It's not that the Europeans didn't need to fold the steel, it's just that they discovered the technique later than the Japanese did. Once they discovered the process they started doing it too.

well the process is different in order to make the blade curved. but steel is steel I suppose

Not really, the strength of steel can vary greatly depending on the amount of carbon it contains. This is especially true of steel swords from back in the day before they realized that fact.

Well, its a comic katana, and we get all the feats it has. So moot, I guess.

You think 30 bullets a day would be enough to survive on indefinitely? I mean, if you run out, you're pretty much f*cked.
how?

are you saying we can't use improvised weapons, like random blunt objects we come across in our travel?

We can't even use rocks, lol.

Even carver's Hulk / abhi's Supes / Rage's Thor aren't strong enough to pick up gecko. Not to mention actually throwing him at somebody.

ah, okay. didn't see the stips before.

still going with the colt.

I'd just book it. Running is all i do for exercise. No zombie horde is catching me. None of these dumb ass characters in the show have simply just run through a horde... most of the time when there are a lot of zombies in one place, they're spread out enough to where you can just quickly run through them before they can react.

the only problem i foresee is a large group of humans who have guns; even then, there's a good change i won't run into a Wolf/Terminus type crew who wants to kill/eat me.

Atlanta is hot af. All you fckers who chose that riot gear are gonna catch heat stroke and you'll be slowed down by the weight. Also, the hell is riot gear gonna do when humans are your enemy? Honestly, that's the worst choice.

All you katana and Lucille people are also fcked when you meet a group of humans with bad intentions.

Again, i'm not at all concerned about zombies, my worry is humans, and the gun is the best defense for people who wanna start some shit.

Very interesting thread. Unfortunately, I don't follow TWD. Based on my limited understanding, I'm leaning towards the revolver but could be swayed. I've peeped a few episodes, and it always seemed like you could avoid zombie confrontations most times. 30 bullets should be plenty unless you're trying to Rambo the hordes.

Even if you were, I don't see a bat/sword faring any differently. Bashing skulls repeatedly requires stamina, and it only gets worse when sick/injured(which let's face it, will happen eventually). I'd rather run like a b1tch, and have the gun as a back up. It would also work well vs the odd human opponent.

I am worried about the noise though. How much does making noise **** people over in the series? Guns are loud obviously.

It attracts more Zs, and other humans.

^ the noise is only a problem if there are a fck ton of zombies around you in a small space you can't escape from.

also, the stips say we can't use any other weapons, it said nothing about using ingenuity. if the show has taught us anything, it's how to lead zombies away with car horns while you run the opposite direction.

Wait, so using geck as bait IS on the cards?

This changes everything.

Actually, it proved problematic even in open areas. Obviously to a lesser extent than firing shots in a typical "zombie warehouse", but still.

PIS doesn't effect me, bro.

Not PIS, it was an on-panel explanation by Abraham on how the herds are made, more or less 😛

One roamer hears the shot, the others follow him. You'd have to be on the move pretty much all the time, but then again it's the only way to survive without being a part of a strong community.

is it not stupidity to fire a shot and wait for zombies to come for you?

Well they would converge on the area where the shot was fired from every direction in a big city like Atlanta it would be unwise letting off shots
