Daryl is Rick's right hand...I like Daryl because I can relate to the character; Competent and efficient with little ambition.
Not to be too pissy but using riot shields overlapped would make them unstoppable in a confined space.

no i agree. Tdog has the right idea, he's got a spear holster in the riot shield...he's going spartan.

The spear wall was the most effective military formation for centuries; Am I really this nerdy.

nothing nerdy about it, that's hand to hand combat son. That's how we were meant to fight.

I would go with my Colt 1911 but in a post apocalyptic future saving the bullets are a good idea.

OK, I'm gonna nerd out; A slicing weapon isn't your best option if penetrating a skull is your objective. I'll take an old school war hammer...It was designed to pierce the brain bucket through armor.

would get dicey if they got in close on you....the samurai blade can be brought up from any angle so it works well up close and at range. Remember these zombies have no armor so you could theoretically start the slash at the balls and go right up and through the skull....these zombies are squishy! And weight becomes an issue when your hvaing to wade through a horde of zombies. How many swings do you have with that hammer before your arms start to tire vs the samurai blade? A claymore style blade is about the only other hand to hand weapon i would consider outside the samurai blade or chinese long sword. You could potentially go through multiple zombies with one of them so the added weight would be made up for. Problem is that even if you cleave one of em in half they still ain't dead till the brains been hit....so gotta stay with the light blades.
The other thing i thought about hte other day is that bolt pistol from no country for old men. As those zombies are lined up against the fence you could just walk up and down the line and plunk each one in the forehead.
