Hoe vs. Rake: Which makes a better weapon?

[shin]

Hypothetical situation: Suppose you're tending to your backyard garden without being a bother to anyone else in the vicinity, when seemingly out of nowhere...

...no less than two dozen zombies start marching toward you!

Whether they're the mythical brain eating zombies of pop culture lore,

or just a bunch of meth addicts looking to ransack your garden and steal whatever they can get their hands on

to sell to a pawn shop for enough money to score their next hit, you can't be sure.



All you know is that a threatening situation has presented itself, and you are now in defense mode to preserve your life... and the lives of your precious veggies, too!





Looking around your immediate radius, you notice the best two things at your disposal that could potentially be used as a weapon include:



A 4 foot garden hoe with a hardwood handle and an unsharpened iron blade,

and a 4 foot rake, also with a wooden handle and a row of pointy but dull iron teeth.

You can only wield one effectively with both hands to fend off the zombies. Which do you choose, and why? Describe your strategy to thwart the impending zombie assault!

He means he'd run like a little girl.

He means he'd run like a little girl.

I think that would be infinitely smarter than trying to fend off 24 attackers at once empty-handed.



At least with a makeshift bo staff, he could keep them at bay for a few more minutes.

[RW]

I would run with Spectre mostly because I can run faster than him haha



In terms of weapon choice, I'd go with the hoe.  I think zombie parts would get stuck more easily in the rake making it less effective.

Even your estranged sister, Chun Li would have a problem defeating 24 undead walkers who don't react to pain.



What's your discipline? Tae Bo doesn't count.
