Weapon of choice
 

This is pretty simple. If you were in area and there were no items crafted to be weapons (swords, guns etc.) and you were being chased by a maniac, which makeshift weapon would you choose and why?

Chain Necklace

It can keep people at bay by whipping of hitting them with it, you can wear it easily and you can strangle people with it.

A big tree branch, your shoe and the laces from them, your keys, a belt, a piece of asphalt from the road that's broken off, it all depends on the environment. What does the maniac have? In most situations the best thing to do when being chased by a weapon wielding maniac is run away.

Agility. Why fight when you can run?

Get a rock and a stick and make a make shift axe or mallet.

If they were available, moderately sized rocks.
I can throw pretty hard, and I feel like I could hit them at distance at least a few times.

Steel trashcan lid would be a good mix of offense and defense if you could grab one.

Who are you.....Macgyver?


I would use my trusty spatula

Umm.... where did you get a chain?? :confused: :p

My mind's always racing so I'm always thinking about what could be used for what... and I watch a lot of Survivorman. ;)

I guess the weapon thing is just natural because I USED TO get in a ton of fights and liked it too.

Oranges, lots of seedless oranges. Hurl them like Pokemon balls!

LOL @ rocks. trash can lid is good though, I think I'm going to have to say that too.

it seemed to work out pretty well with the elevator at the end of deep red.:)

Anywho, it depends on what weapons the enemy has, and if we can change something about ourselves in this hypothetical situation. Personally, I'd try to give myself AIDS, and then I'd start spitting and vomiting on the enemy. Does that count, or do I have to do something like take whisky and a bic lighter with me?

I do believe that I've made it clear in the HDC movies that my weapon of choice would be an axe, even if I'd have to make it myself.

I think a 2x4 would be a very good way of attack. Or like in Shaun of the Dead a cricket stick.

rocks and sticks

smash a rock against another rock and you have an adz, which can be tied to a stick (with either shoelaces or fresh bark or reeds) to form a hatchet or used to sharpen sticks into spears.

I do a lot of camping and impress the kids with this kind of primitive weapon-making...we're totally prepared for the zombiepocalypse!

This question used to keep me up at night when I was a kid, alone in my room (only child)... What would happen if the folks were slaughtered downstairs and the psychopath was creeping up to my room...

I came to the conclusion that the only "weapon" in my room would be my boombox. I would have the drop on him as he came up the stairs... Then I could whack him with one of my swimming trophies... They all have marble bases, so I figured that that would definitely so some damage. Then I'd crawl out my bedroom window onto the porch roof and jump off, grasping the trophy.

...

But as for now, if I were outside and without immediate weapons... Probably a garbage can lid coupled with a fencepost. That should be pretty dangerous... We have a broken metal fence outside of my apartment... I might take a piece of that. The kids downstairs also leave their Razor Scooters outside. I bet I could use one of THEM as a weapon!

Too bad us Americans don't have cricket bats. haha

The kids or the scooters?

Scooter as a weapon. Kids as a shield.

There is another game a lot of Americans play with bats... I promise.

Anyway, I guess I better start going through this thread carefully now that I'm right here by the 1st and 3rd most dangerous cities in America. :rolleyes:
What a bunch of crap that is... it's not that bad I promise.

I'd be wearing the chain necklace. I might use a brocken tree branch that is slightly sharp to stab as wel.

So if I wanted to kill you I would wait to stage my assult, you wouldn't know I wanted you dead until I snatched your big necklace and choked you to death with it. It would also give me a convenient handle to use to drag your corpse into an alley.

That hurt. :(

Air-powered rat-launching tube?

with cross hair

My fountain pen... I would kill them and then write in their blood.

*shivers delightfully*


I like this guy. ;-)

you'll learn.

Maybe I would stop them dead in thier tracks with my seductive dance and entrance them long enough to get away.

If it's not to seductive , otherwise you may never get away..

I like how rod has time to fashion weapons out of shoelaces and rocks while being chased by a maniac.

I can always just use my rapier wit

I think an actual rapier would do you better, hun. ;)

You still dieting for that movie btw?

Heavy-soled boots ... for when I literally have to kick some ass.

I change my answer, kemal would be my weapon.

So, if he beomes a weapon would you carry him...

I didn't realize we could have humanoids as weapons, in that case I would choose David Letterman, he could bore them to death for me..

If someone is chasing me really fast, right behind me, I would simply fall to the ground abruptly, become a log, and let him/her trip over over me onto the face---and hopefully on asphalt.

I have always wondered if it would work...

Or maybe I'd pick a Rat-flail.

My best weapon would be this...

I'd draw a deer, roll it up, put it in ma' ear,
so if you steer, get up in my face here, the deer gon' leer, like a monkey suck beer, hit you in the heart stricken with tha mad fear, make you wanna run, run away like a queer, try to escape, but you can't get clear
gonna cut yo' neck...
like the wool...
WITH A SHEAR


...I felt like revisiting...

Little of the ol' kemaltherapy huh?

A halloween Ressurection DVD, they'd see jamie lee curtis was in it and think it must be a good one, then when busta rhymes appears and they're going "WTF?" I'd run. If they didn't want to watch it, I'd just take the disc out of the case and throw it at they're neck. Oddjob away!!!
