SPLICED STUFF / ISSUE 06 FEATURE / THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE You’re stocked up on supplies and away from any immediate danger, but that tree branch or chair leg is really only going to last you so long before you need something sturdier to survive the shambling hordes. Luckily the Spliced team is here for you. Our writers have compiled a list of some of their most ingenious zombie killing weapons. 03 02 01 / RAY / / ISAAC / ELECTRIFIED CRUTCH BATON: The handle and support would be rubberised, with nodes sticking out the back to support a pair of jumper cables. Those in turn would be clipped to a car battery that swings from my hip in a bag fashioned from duct tape and aerolite (ceiling insulation so that I don't get shocked) 01 / SAM / ELECTRIFIED TABLET BAYONET: I'm able to electrocute zombies, while keeping up to date on the latest spotted herds (there’s even an extra battery juice!) Simply ram the electrified 02 16 bayonets into the brain and zap, no more walking biting pile of rotting bones. I had far too much fun doing this and really need to get out the house more. (She even put together a prototype and sent photos! – now THAT’s dedication! - Ed) / DANI / OAR-XE: The combination of a rowing oar and an axe, the square part of the oar is dipped in metal and fashioned to resemble the blade of an axe. Although somewhat cumbersome, the length of the oar allows for close-range attacks while keeping the user at a safe distance. 03 ZOMBIE-LEATHER ONESIE: Hunt and pillage at leisure in a bite-resistant genuine ZombieLeather onesie. Undetectable to the undead, but still warm and cosy without having to smear yourself in rancid guts. Tanned from the weathered skins of all those people in the 70's who thought that baby oil in direct sunlight was a good idea. Now with all-weather tire tread soles for long walks on the tarmac. 04 / SARAH / 05 CHAINSAW TUTU: Why should style have to suffer just because the world is overrun
