In the event of a zombie outbreak, I want one of these!
... You too, right?! I spit out my coffee and I wasn't even drinking any when I saw the damage that the "Slingshot Zombiehammer" is capable of dishing out. This is the ultimate zombie killing weapon. Get one from Mr. Clean here, get a bag of small sized rocks, and your good to go. With the slingshot, you can snipe zombies from a distance and if they happen to get too close, pulverize them! Those soft, gushy zombie heads won't stand a chance against the thunder and lightening combination of steel spike and ball. Haha! And when your done beheading a zombie, eject it! It's the ultimate (relatively) silent killer. Destroy the zombies you need to and then move on without attracting more with loud noise. Thanks Slingshot Zombiehammer!
This is the most badass zombie weapon that I've ever seen. It looks like a weapon that Daryl from The Walking Dead would use. Looks like he needs to add this to his arsenal!
This guy clearly has all his bases covered. The biggest weaknesses of weapons in a zombie apocalypse is a lack of ammunition and a slow reload speed. The slingshot aspect allows the user to have almost unlimited ammunition and the "zombie head ejector" is key for ensuring you dont get caught spending too much time on one zombie.
Arm strength is another consideration of this weapon. I mean, that guy looked like he had some muscle and that thing looked heavy. I tried to do one pull up the other day. One. It's not important how it turned out...
But anyway, while yes, that 30 pound weapon is great for some people, could you imagine Carl from the walking dead toting that around? That's why guns are crucial...or even light weight melee weapons like hammers. They're accessible for all ages and body types.
Also, unfortunately, we don't live in a video game universe where our weapons disappear magically into our cargo pockets when they aren't equipped. I'm trying to imagine sprinting with that thing and not tripping and stabbing myself.
My review of the Slingshot Zombiehammer:
Badassery - 10/10
Functionality - 8/10
Ability to use - 4/10
Ability to carry - 3/10
Ammo - 10/10 (rocks are easy to find)
I agree with Alessandra because it definitely has a high badassery appeal with multiple functions, yet it does look pretty heavy! and it definitely isn't made for first time users. When using the nail point side, you definitely need to practice a good amount to get aiming down pat since it is such a small surface area of damage. However, having the ejector is an awesome feature! very necessary when trying to avoid touching zombies, while also maximizing time.
You bring up some good points. Running with this weapon would be difficult and dangerous. That being said, most weapons are difficult and dangerous to run with;some more than others. If Daryl can make it with a cross bow, I have faith in the slingshot zombie hammer to get you through an apocalypse. It'd be smart to make them adjustable or in different sizes to fit the person using it. Besides being three weapons in one, I think it's best feature is that it is a silent killer. No unwanted loud noise to attract more zombies in your direction. I also imagine that you'd have a lot of time during an apocalypse to practice getting good (and strong!) with it as well.
Although the Slingshot Zombiehammer is awesome, the gentleman who crafted the thing is more awesome. I want him on my End-Of-The-World Team. Now.
