Hello fanfiction, I am Clementine and welcome to Surviving with Clementine, where I, the beloved Clementine, will teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse!
Our first topic is melee weapons, which are crucial in the apocalypse.
Now, a common misconception about weapons in the apocalypse is that the bigger the weapon, the better is it. People usually gravitate towards weapons like axes, sledgehammers, chainsaws, that sort of thing, and while they may be useful, there's a big problem. What do they all have in common?
If you said they're heavy, you're correct!
Now, if you're in the zombie apocalypse, you're likely going to struggle to find food, and food is energy, and without food, you'll get weaker. Sledgehammers and axes are heavy, but perhaps the weapon you want to avoid most is the chainsaw.
For starters, it's heavy, and you can't exactly holster it. Second, it's loud, very, very loud. Using the chainsaw will draw more walkers to you by the dozen. Also, it requires gas, and honestly, that gas can be used for something much more useful, like a car. Not to mention that it will take a while to cut through the head of a walker using a chainsaw.
For weapons I would use, I would use a weapon that's easy to hold, easy to use, doesn't need a lot of energy to be useful, and easy to hide. Items like a hammer, machete, hatchet, screwdriver, those are fantastic to use.
That is the first topic of today, see you next time when we talk about guns!
