THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS OF UNDEAD HORRORS:


 * Close-The Walking Dead Gang. The NotLD Survivor's Hammer and Nail Board may be able to tear some flesh in the fight, though, they aren't as sharp, deadly, or overall combat effective like the Fire Axe and Butcher Knife are, which could cut off some limbs in the fight.


 * Mid-The Walking Dead Gang. Per EA, as much as I love six-shooters, if I wanted to protect myself from an undead horde, I'd bring a semi-auto handgun. The Colt Model 10 is more powerful, packing .38 Special rounds, and the Beretta 92 has 9mm rounds, but the Beretta's 10 round magazine beats out a 6 round cylinder anyday. The Beretta will lay down more shots in a quicker amount of time than the Colt could.


 * Long-The Walking Dead Gang. This is a close one. I'd assume both are firing .30 Winchester rounds, so they have even calibres in the battle. I think the Model 1894 could lay off more shots with the right marksman using it, though the Model 70 will be more accurate thanks to it's scope, and packs longer range, and with the right shot, could put a bullet clean through someone's forehead.


 * Special-The Walking Dead Gang. Going against the grain here. I think the Molotovs could do some damage, definitely, the thing is, I just don't see the cocktails killing anyone in the fight, with the right throw, maybe. With the wrong throw, the survivors may have to fend off some flaming Walkers also. The Cleaver on the other hand, in close range, I could see killing a survivor. Overall, neither of these weapons are great, but the Cleaver has a small edge that could rack in a kill.

'OVERALL-THE WALKING DEAD GANG! 'This should be no problem for The Walking Dead people here, they've faced plenty of walkers and bandits at this point, and a couple of insane survivors won't make the biggest difference. Their teamwork on the battlefield will help them win the fight, along with their superior weaponry.
