Weapon Madness – Round Two – Ranged Weapon Contest: Bowling Ball vs Break Action Shotgun
Believe it or not, the last episode of Weapon’s Madness occurred sometime in March before the actual March Madness tournament. Our last matchup pitted a lead pipe versus a hoe which drew a lot of discussion from everyone. While people loved the long distance skull cleaving potential of the hoe, the lead pipe won the contest hands down. I’m guessing a lot of people like to get involved with the wet work when killing zombies. Personally, I’m built like a T-Rex in all the bad ways – big legs, little arms, beady eyes ;) – so the lead pipe would tire me out pretty quickly. With the hoe, I could keep the dead at a distance. At least, for a little while.
Well, Weapons Madness is back in play and it resumes with a rather interesting matchup. Here we have a bowling ball versus a break action shotgun. Which do you think will turn out on top and why?
Bowling Ball
Pros: good head crush potential, could make a loud noise, possible movement distraction
Cons: heavy, did I mention it’s heavy? would easily tire out your arm
Break Action Shotgun
Pros: double the barrels – double the pleasure, great head exploding potential, good club potential
Cons: extremely loud, slow reloading time, not good against a mass of zombies
Just a reminder about the judging. These are Romero type zombies. They are slow and sluggish. Headshots or decapitations will kill them. Bites will lead to probable infection, then death. You should judge a weapon based on its effectiveness against one zombie to an entire horde. A weapon does not need to be lethal to be effective. If it buys you some time to escape, then it should be looked on with favor.
So which do you think will make for a better zombie killing weapon?
Shotgun. Not even a contest, obviously. Range is everything.
Shotgun! Club or shoot, whats not to love about it?
