What's your backup weapon?

[Metric Monkey]

Weapon A, and Weapon B. *raises fists*
No probably not. I'd have to go with a sword. Just any sword, as long as it's durable and sharp.

 

[conceptual]

Chuck Norris.

...What? Someone had to say it..

Wouldn't that be your primary weapon?

I'd use a pistol, because it has infinite ammo.

 

[Valiance]

Spoiler: Easy, a hunting knife and pistol combined.

IS THAT THING REAL! MY GOD! THE ORIGINAL GUNBLADE!

No, sir. That would be my Pistol Sword. Or axe.

:O
That is probably the most awesome thing Ive seen.
Do they work? are they even accurate?

 

[Biek]

A combat knife. I dare say knives CAN be more effective than handguns in close combat situations.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Chuck Norris.

Nope.. I use "Bottled Chuck Fist" as my primary..
Yeah.. I have them mixed up..

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

For fantsay like stuff I would pick a lightsaber as it is light and gets the job done for real stuff I would pick a katana.

 

[stompythebeast]

bah, another shotty of course, jeez you guys arent survivors.

 

[tehbeard]

I'd use the arbiter's "lemon Grenades".

That or the plasma cutter and line gun off deadspace.

Example:
Me:"oh no a horde of zombies"
*insert space-type noise of line gun as it takes their legs off*

Dismemberment is the key to a succesful zombie weapon.

-----
If these aren't allowed then the lever action rifle off F3oint lookout because:

1) Theres quite a few around, so its easy to repair.
2) It has more ammo then a unlimited pistol.
3) Point. Squeeze. Head explodes.
4) It will do ridiculous damage to turrets any survivors set up as well.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Spoiler: Oh Hell yes!

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

A Katana.

Filled with gunpowder.

Yes...

 

[ljd184]

my first weapon would a doable barreled shotgun and bake up will have to the fat man

 

[Chiddy]

swords, wait no, TWO SWORDS

 

[Adam]

ID have to have some kind of axe, because a sword is all well and good, but unless its a weighty sword, or your really skiled at using a sword, it's gonna get stuck in zombie flesh. Witha heavy axe, while it is slower and you will have to be careful, its unlikly to get stuck in zombie flesh because it would go straight through them.

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

Another AK-47.

 

[tombman888]

id choose the chainsaw

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

An M134. With a few thousands rounds of ammo. Bring it ooooon!!!

 

[Valiance]

Relatively pointless, since the pistol part is a secondary feature, but yeah, they work, and they shoot well enough to be helpful. Inaccurate to snipe with but good enough at shortish ranges.

Bayonets are generally better, but I find these more..Stylish, shall we say?

 

[ohellynot]

A monk, for all the holy damage and heals that I need. Everyone knows that the undead are waek against holy magic.
