1) Baseball bat - Great for indoor and outdoor use. You can choke up on it for those real close quarters. I would recommend an aluminum bat over wood to avoid breakage. Oh, and you can carry/use two at once!
2)Tire Iron - Great for head bashing indoors and out, but it has limited range, so it good for close combat. The real benefit to this one is that it will get you into places. It opens doors, vending machines, cars etc and fits on your belt.
3) Pitchfork - it can be used like a staff for bludgeoning and stabbing with the forks. Slashing the forks can decapitate and a good stab & twist can do the same thing. It is difficult to wield indoors or close quarters. Getting tied up with too many Z's can be a problem as the forks tend to get stuck in bodies and you can find yourself overrun quickly.
4)Sledgehammer - Great for bashing, but requires strength and stamina. Again, it will get you into places and things like vending machines, but it will slow you down.
5)Butcher Knife - Wow, my last choice on this planet, next to a fork or stake knife. If you are in the kitchen looking for weapons, go for a meat cleaver and rolling pin. Both of these have greater damage on a Z's brain pan than a butcher knife.
More great improvised weapons:
1) 4-6' steel plumbing pipe - Found in most houses, these pipes can be wielded like a staff for huge crushing blows and can clear a path, open doors, break locks, windows, help others climb up walls etc.
2) Socks filled with billiard balls, rolls of quarters or rocks. Use this like a mace to crush Z skulls. The primary benefits of this is that you already have socks, so all you need is rocks, change or a billiard ball.
1) Towels can be used as defense and offense. Don't get it? Here is what you do. Wrap a towel around your left hand and arm (right if you are left handed) and use it to allow the Z's to attack and bite. Now you have your good hand free to use another weapon. If you don't have another weapon, hold the towel stretched between both hands. When you are attacked, shove the towel at the face or throat. Quickly step behind and twist the towel. Now place your knee in their back and force them face down on the ground.
4) Paperback books can be used to shove in a zombie's mouth. Cram it in real good. Remember that where their head goes, their body goes. Use the book to force them to fall over backward then knee strike the throat. Follow up with a neck twist to finish them off. LEAVE THE BOOK, there are plenty more and you don't want to run the risk of being infected by the drool/blood on the book.
5) Machete - okay, so this is not exactly and improvised weapon, but not everyone thinks about them. Combined with an aluminum bat, this is a GREAT weapon combo. Most machetes are built for commercial landscaping and camping so they are tough and durable.
