What's your backup weapon?

[1ronJ4m]

Overabuse of HADOKEN. No zombie can survive that.

 

[SlickShot]

Pipe Wrench.

 

[Joshimodo]

The ornate Katana/Wakizashi daisho that is in my attic.

Mateba Autorevolver. Because you'd shoot people before they could finish asking "What the hell is that?".

Other than that, I just think it's a pretty cool gun.

 

[OriginalError]

So, best case, the AA-12 Combat Shotgun. 30 round clip, limited recoil, and the ability to switch ammunition types on the fly (12 gauge scatter, 12 gauge slug, High-Explosive Grenades, Anti-Vehicle Grenades, and Frag Grenades).

...with it's rate of fire you could theoretically unload 120 High-Explosive grenades on target.... in one minute.

However, if you're talking about backup weapons I actually have in my house? Probably one of my swords (since my lightsaber still is made out of plastic, despite my half-hearted efforts) or my 15 pound sledge.

Truthfully the .38 in my pocket, but if I could have anything id like to have this [http://eagleswords.com/library/FantasyClawDagger5.jpg] claw thing, I don't really know the best way to classify it, it's pretty sweet.

edit: Everyone is adding their main weapons so I thought I would too, this [http://www.rc-trucks.org/Kimber-1911-Custom-II.jpg] Kimber .45 is on my hip at all times. Well...kind of, mines a different model.

... And this as an afterthought:

Spoiler

I can't quite tell the model of that pistol but good choice on the beaver tailed .45 1911.

I'd love to own one, but thanks to the laws in my country, handguns are illegal

 

[USSR]

Wabbajack!

but that could turn them into fire breathing golden lions!

Or a sheep..

Think of the sheep o.o...

 

[ae86gamer]

This.
[http://photobucket.com/images/toothpick] Thats right, its a toothpick.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Backup gun = Beretta 92fs
Mélee = Crowbar =]

 

[Mark_motorheadbanger]

does a tank count as back up :L xD
failing that a bastard sword or a gladius sword

 

[Grayjack]

This.

Spoiler

But you loose force and have to get too close....

Spoiler: This is better

I'm still going with the Katana. They're awesome.

 

[Hookman]

A nuke. If I'm going down I'm taking the entire city with me!

 

[Sacman]

I would use my guitar as a weapon. why? because I can that's why...

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

a large armoured APC

 

[L24z13L]

Backup weapon: Terminator armor with a storm bolter and a power weapon.

Main weapon: the rest of the chapter.

 

[RazielDethAngel]

Crowbar it can open things and kill. That or A Bow and Arrow, silent and you can make ammo if your really desperate.

EDIT: If it was a last resort definitely the Predator Self-Destruct Wristwatch. I believe it takes out around 300 blocks or so.

 

[Billy Stalin]

My faith that god would protect me. Hahaha, no but seriously my back up weapons are my fists of fury: Thelma and Louise.

 

[Zarthek]

my backup gun is a gun that is in fact bigger than my original gun

 

[Shoqiyqa]

A crossbow modified to shoot rocks, of which there is likely to be a plentiful supply. Save the shotgun ammo for when I need to fire more rapidly, scavenge blades and other firearms and ammo where possible, and head for the Hebrides.

Also this:

 

[Thanatos5150]

Bladed quarterstaff..?Maybe. That or a hadngun so I could off myself like that chap at the end of Resident Evil Apocalypse [was that the one?]

Those are called "Spears", generally. The family of weapons are called "Polearms".
