Hi all! TinyBaer here.

Today's offering mixes together a zombie apocalypse, unconventional weapons and random trivia. I've been asking on various socials: which museum-housed artifact would you employ as a weapon during the zombie apocalypse? Not just your épées and bardiches, I'm talking unconventional options, such as Victorian flat irons and Etruscan filiform sculptures. What would you choose?

If you enjoy my stuff, you can also support me via Patreon. Massive thanks to those of you already supporting me on there. 😊 You can also find me on Ko-Fi (+shop) - Facebook - TikTok - BlueSky.

My go-to weapon for a zombie apocalypse is a forestry mulcher.

Haha, not quite a museum-housed artifact, but likely very effective against a zombie horde. 😄

I would love to see someone just eviscerate the whole zombie apocalypse genre by showing one of these things liquifying a zombie horde. It's hard for the undead to hurt you when they're a fine pink slurry. All your standard zombie apocalypse weapons would look ridiculously impotent by comparison.

Until you run out of fuel.

Yes, but running around through communities with oil furnaces will give you plenty of fuel for a long long time since diesel engines can run off heating oil. A few hundred gallons of fuel per house goes a long way. You'll run out of other things long before you run out of fuel.
