Growing up in Ireland and New York, where there are some of the most restrictive gun ownership laws in all of Europe and the United States respectively, put me very much behind the eight-ball when it comes to firearms. I’ve spent the last few years playing catch-up. I own a few guns, know enough to […]
As many of you know, it’s hard to find zombie movies or games without a crowbar in them. It’s one of the most accepted and used weapons in the entire horror/survival genre. But…. Are the people in these Hollywood productions using the crowbar the way they should? Because lets face it, if you would use […]
Any fan of AMC’s The Walking Dead can remember the scene from episode one where Morgan knelt at the window of his upstairs bedroom with a sniper rifle popping walkers at a distance. That’s the way to survive the zombie apocalypse without getting your hands dirty. Now imagine if you could make that shot from […]
This mean looking knife is the perfect little self defense weapon. The 5 3/8” stainless steel Undercover Sonic Karambit by United Cutlery is easily concealed in an injection molded ABS sheath. It can be worn on a belt, a side holster, or even stuck in a boot. As a self defense weapon, the Karambit is […]
In my opinion, the M48 Hawk Tactical Tomahawk is the perfect melee weapon. It’s definitely the favorite in my collection. It is as beautiful and multifunctional a piece of weaponry as I’ve ever seen. Good for everything including chopping wood, digging holes, getting through locked doors, clearing brush, breaking open hard-shelled fruit, and of course […]

Few zombie weapons are as recognizable as Rick Grimes’ revolver. It may not be the most effective weapon, but it makes a grand statement and is an extension of the character’s personality. Will you have a personal statement in the apocalypse? Maybe you’ll want a sword, as Michonne, quiet and deadly carries. The silent but […]
Introduction Television and movies have a way of making bad ideas seem good. They have wonderfully safe and controlled environments from whence come magical action sequences that are very pretty to watch, yet bear little resemblance to actual combat. It would take several lifetimes to address all of the fallacies in movie and television as […]
Now I know most of you have some stuff around the house you can turn into a weapon…. But, you will probably be somewhere else than at home when the apocalypse begins. Therefore, you will need to improvise a weapon until you get home to your stash. For these examples, I’ll rule out the preppers […]
We all have our believes when it comes to the zombie apocalypse. If the zombies will be slow, fast, a virus, undead… All these types of zombies require a different skill and weapon set to fight. For my weapons list, it won’t matter if zombies are fast, because if they’re fast and need a head […]
As many of you might know, you need a good firearm and lots of bullets to put the undead back in their graves. What a lot of people might forget, is that you have to carry your rifle around all day. Plus perform various tasks, while not letting go of your weapon. At a gun […]
As many of you might know, the zombie apocalypse isn’t going to start at a convenient time. You’re not going to be sitting at home, with all your gear and supplies at hand.
