The fact that we think alike, is easily the most disturbing thing I have ever read.

Now if only I could get my hands on some magazines to wrap around my arms, and shins. Is that even allowable?
Sorry to derail a bit, but as someone who collects and has spent a lot of time researching and learning about swords, Japan did not have good steel. That is why they developed the folding tech., to make up for the fact that their steel did not have the right amount of carbon to make it the way Europeans did, since Japan had only their small land mass to draw steel from, whereas in Europe they had a much bigger land mass to get steel. Also, historical Katana's held an edge well, but were more brittle than a euro sword. That is a fact. Euro swords were spring tempered to be able to flex without taking a set. Basically, historical katanas were more brittle than euros, but held their edge better. Also, a long sword weighs about as much as a katana. Maybe even a little less. 2-3 pounds, maybe 4 at most is what a longsword, or two handed sword, weighs. Greatswords weighed around 7 or 8 pounds. Katanas being unbreakable lightsabers and euro swords weighing a trillion tons are all Hollywood misconceptions. Shocking that Hollywood would get it wrong, I know.

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.
100% agreed...

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.
None of the choices here are perfect, but I do think Ricks gun is still the best choice...
I can get kills against the living and dead from a safe distance...
And besides, you will eventually run across armed humans; what in heck are you going to do then with a bat or sword (other than get shot)?
Ricks gun...limited ammo and all...is the best all around weapon choice here.
I can do alot with 30 rounds per day...

Once again, we see eye to eye on this...
My legs will protect me from zombies; the gun is mainly for humans...
Based on the movement speed I typically see from the zombies in the show, I feel confident I could stay ahead of them at a light jogging pace, and I can keep that up long enough to get out of their line of sight...
Originally posted by TheLordofMurderThat would be fine if you only had to get away from a single group of Walkers. However, there are literally hundredS of thousandS scattered across the city -- you wouldn't be able to go very far at all before running across more.
