Finally a post that hits a former tank dead on. Your absolutely right, fighting off the Undead in meele combat is extremely effective. For slashing and bashing weapons do much better damage per second then piercing weapons.

Give me everything you see in my signature, and I'll personally drive the entire horde of undeath back into the pit from wence they spawned.

Though, if I read the post correctly someone mentioned the HOLY HANDGRENADE. Mind you that is not a toy, for to use it on zombies would be wasteful, we should save that for foul bunny creature.
