    This has been bugging me for a while.

    Since the rifle was invented (about 1400 or so but i'm no gun guru) they have been using bayonets as a natural addition to (initially) single shot fire power and yet no-one (or very rarely) it appears is this logic used in the ZA.

    Most characters that carry a long (ish) weapon could stick a bayonet on the end for the innetivable close up skirmish. It doesn't even need to be a bayonet any knife or even metal rod can be utilised and fashioned in some way to fix against the barrel.

    We see lots of scenes of stabbing walkers with knifes and when they were at the prison they would take out walkers at the fences with metal spears,etc

    NB Merle in bayonet terms was a legend, he used the bayonet without the gun!

    If we were to apply logic in combat situations, everybody would be some sort of body armor - especially greaves, gloves, shinguards, etc for close quarters melee fighters.

    Not to mention some sort of face guard to prevent walker bits from getting in your eyes and mouth...

    Bayonets reduce the accuracy of rifles by quite a bit. That matters greatly when you have to hit the head.

    In a world, where bullets are becoming scarce. We can't have "missed shots". Lol
    I still like the bayonet. My 2 Great Grandfather used one in the Civil War. ( I won't mention, he was shot 6 different times though).

    Yeah this bugs me that they all haven't switched to melee weapons yet or haven't really thought much about how valuable ammo really is. I love the bayonet idea, then the survivor could fire a shot as a last resort and doesn't need to switch weapons if they have a melee weapon in hand.

    I'd like to see somebody use a heavy chain with a big pad lock or something on the end anything that could be hooked on the end of the chain and take a chunk out of walker head when swung.

    As long as they don't start using chainsaws.

    I can't believe how popular chainsaws are in the zombie genre. The writers must never have used one. Even when you're using one under nominal conditions on the substance they're designed for (i.e. wood), they bind, choke and have other issues you wouldn't want to deal with while facing the hungry dead.

    Not to mention the bits in face problem.

    No, if you had a chainsaw you wouldn't puree your way through the horde. You'd maybe kill one, get bound up on another then end up swamped by the rest of them. Vroom, vroom, bite, bite, bite. Not good.

    Bayonets seem like a good idea, but as Charlie points out, any negative modifier to accuracy greatly reduces your chances of a successful head shot (mod plot requirements).

    Why does nobody use the ultimate weapon?

    I'm referring to Bruce Lee in general but I would prefer him with Nunchucks.

    They should attach chainsaws to pogo sticks, & just bounce head to head of the walkers. And stuff.

    Btw, there would be no walker combat if my man Nick Cage was around. He would scare the walkers away when he got in one of his moods. lol

    Negan walks up to one of his concubines and says... "Gimme some sugar baby."
