The Superior Weapon in a Zombie Apocalypse

Usage when not fightingEffectiveness in killing zombies is unrelated to its uses while doing other tasks. Holding a 13.5 inch billhook is just as obstructing as holding an FM. My opponent is also flat out lying when he claims there is no handle on the FM, there clearly is one. This point is moot as it can be applied to both weapons.Frame CrackingI have refuted this in my previous round with two studies with hundreds of thousands of rounds shot from different models of 9mm Berettas. Signs of slide and frame cracking occur long before actual fracture, giving the user ample time to replace it, not to mention fracture occurs after tens of thousands of rounds fired.Bill HookMy opponent did not provide any source or image of his weapon and a simple Google search of the bill hook images[1], shows they all have curved front edges (if not blunted). This makes them effectively impossible to stab or fatally impale a zombie. Pro has not provided any evidence otherwise. In fact, pro asserts the bill hook has serrated edges that can cut a zombie. Unfortunately he does not realize that serrated edges are not designed for speed. It will take a very long time to slice through the neck of a zombie with a serrated edge. The FM can easily penetrate the skull and into the brain for an instantaneous kill, the billhook simply cannot compete.Baseball bat9mmPro’s assertions completely ignore my arguments and sources without providing any of his own. My studies clearly indicate slide failures were remedied in the 80’s, while all he claims is that M9’s have failed and injured people in the 21st century with absolutely no sources. You must disregard all unbacked claims accordingly.Pro claims that guns in police stations are held behind bulletproof glass and iron bars (note again, he does not provide any sources). Unfortunately, he ironically fails to realize there is a zombie apocalypse going on. The keys to any locked door for government run establishments can be found at security guard stations or janitor’s quarters. LongbowAgain, pro provides absolutely no sourcing regarding his claims of longbows being made in several days. His claims of durability are also unreferenced. My arguments about effectiveness and availability were dropped and unanswered. Pro concedes the 9mm is 3 times as effective as the longbow in killing zombies. Pro’s own argument of surprise attacks goes in favour of the firearm as longbows are completely useless in close range, while the firearm is perfectly fine in close combat.ConclusionPro has been good with sources up until this final round. Almost all of his facts, numbers, and assertions were completely unreferenced. You, as voters, must disregard all unsubstantiated claims.The FM doubles the range of the billhook, can perform all acts the billhook can, is much harder to disarm from the user, and most importantly, can impale. Pro claims the billhook can as well, but with the large surface area of the nose (blunted or not), this is basically impossible.The baseball bat is more available, can be used in close quarters, lighter, easily maneuvered, portable, and replaceable than the poleaxe. The poleaxe may kill zombies just as effectively, but its mass is unnecessary and inefficient for the wielder. Availability of the baseball bat edges out the poleaxe.References1. http://bit.ly...
