Dear Zombie Master: Machetes for Zombie Kills?

Dear Zombie Master,

I often see recommendations for the use of machetes to fend off zombies. This has always puzzled me. If you think about, it wouldn't machetes be fairly useless? To kill a zombie with a machete you would have to either slice through the skull deep enough to damage the medulla, or you would have to cleave it clean off! This would take way too much effort and as you see in the 1987 Dawn of the Dead the machete got stuck in the zombies head and had to be deserted.

Due to this I have always believed that bludgeoning weapons like baseball bats and such would be vastly superior.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

thanks,

Leo,

I completely agree with you. Bludgeoning weapons are far superior to the machete. I happen to prefer the crowbar because of its weight. The machete is good to have though because if you get that close and you have no hope what so ever then you can at least take one more with you when you go.
Good hunting and aim high,

The Zombie Master
