![]() This category includes baseball bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, cricket bats, etc. Sports equipment is sometimes, but not always, useful against the undead. The material of the weapon is very important, as many modern items are lightweight and will not be effective. Some sporting goods will also be sufficient. Things like broomsticks, power saws, knives, and smaller/conventional hammers should not be depended on. However you should not risk injury to test this, so don't actually drop it on your toe. A good rule of thumb is if you think it might break your toe if you dropped it on it from eye level, then it is a good solid weight, which is very important. Generally use something that crushes bone. Large hammers, axes, crowbars, machetes etc. ![]() Many sturdy tools in a hardware store can double as a weapon capable of killing a zombie. In an emergency, first find something to act as a liontamer's chair, or as a riot shield, before testing if a tennis racket or guitar will destroy the zombie's brain, which it will most likely not. It is wiser, and easier to find improvised weapons to use to keep distance and create obstacles between yourself and zombies. They may break after a few uses, be difficult to wield, or impractical to carry. The human skull is very strong, and many substances that will fracture it with sufficient force are not made for such a thing. The majority of seemingly good improvised melee weapons are actually poor for killing zombies. If it cannot, it is best to use it only as a way to slow a zombie down (or keep their mouth full/immobilized to prevent biting) to buy oneself more time to escape, or find a weapon that actually can penetrate the skull or mostly remove an intact human head. When evaluating a weapon's effectiveness, the most important factor is if it could be used to quickly penetrate a human skull, or decapitate a zombie. This article will only include improvised weapons of substantial effectiveness. Traps comprised of unorthodox objects (such as the Falling Piano Trap in Zombieland) are always engineered improvised weapons. Engineered improvised weapons require at least minor modification or planning. Found improvised weapons are used in their normal state, with little to no alterations required, such as a thick candlestick holder. There are two basic types of Improvised Weapons - found, and engineered. Improvised Weapons are ordinary objects that aren't normally associated with violence or self defense turned lethal.
