I believe the UK uses a comma instead of a decimal point, so 13,000% is 13%.

Yes. No, not in this case. Scroll down about 15-20 items. Just below numbers like 1,234% you will find numbers like 987%.

I would rather have about 3 feet of 1" steel pipe with a cross on each end. One to keep it from slipping out, the other for "effectiveness."

Tie a short looped holding strap through it so dudes can't rip it away from you and do you in.

Nothin’ beats a good ‘ol axe handle!

Nah, use a pick handle. They don't bounce as high after you whack someone.

I suggest an Irish hurley - axe handle on steroids.

Cricket bats are better and at the local sports store.

I've got a dozen composit softball bats for sale......Most are ASA approved only but some are ASA and USSA approved. Even got a couple that were "juiced" if you're interested......all are either 26 or 27 oz......

Wiffle bats, Nerf bats, or real ones? If they were real ones I bet the people are arming up; otherwise, government sales.

The only thing on the crossbar - might get stuck in the first zombie and delaying the attack on the next one?

I was trying to think of other things the Brits could use. Someone mentioned wasp spray - the 15-20 foot long spray kind. Another one might be a wrist rocket or even a homemade slingshot. Getting hit with a ballbearing might be enough of a deterrent to some punk just wanting free stuff.

A silver hammer is much more effective than a bat.

Yea, so — cricket bats are 5 pounds at the end of the street.

I should have been clearer. I mean one of those fittings that allows four pipes to meet. Like a T but with four openings. They aren't real common, but they have several nice edges.

I love the wasp spray! And the slingshot!

Water gun with bleach or some other eye irritant. But then they would have to steal some new clothes to replace the damaged stolen ones they already have.

Paintball guns are relatively tame, but one in the face or eye will turn a dude around real fast. Or put him down for a while. I wonder if they are legal in the UK.

I had never considered bolting a skilsaw blade to a ballbat. I guess about a 3-inch carriage? Pretty nasty.

Thanks for the tip! I have a bunch of baseball bats and Sawzall blades. My wife keeps a bat under her side of the bed; I'll upgrade it for her.

I’d still prefer a Lee Enfield rifle with accompanying bayonet. Shotguns work too.

Bat sales increase is tapering off.

Cleanup must be starting, as folding shovels are now up 254,400%.
