All-round slingshot badass Jörge Sprave demonstrates his latest lethalness: a zombie-killing sling-hammer with a skull-ejector to make it easy to knock away the shattered, punctured zombie-heads after you've dispatched the inconvenient undead.

The Zombie Hammer, Now with Skull Ejector

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    He does know that zombies aren’t real, right?

    • lectroid

      Not YET, but if/when they are, wouldn’t you rather be at this guy’s house?

    • chellberty

      you know nothzing of zombabies

    • theophrastvs

      shh….  “zombie” is an alias.

      He probably didn’t want to mention this, but the spiky thing probably works on living heads as well. 

  • GuyInMilwaukee

    If only you could have posted this before Christmas! Great gift that keeps on giving.
    Zombies are very real for some people.

  • kittnkat

    Want!!!!!

  • Tribune

    How well does it eject a decomposing brain and skull? Also the title gave me visions of the sling shot mechanism ejecting the skull and firing it at the next zombie, not a zombie killing hammer with sling shot attached.

    • Trent Hawkins

      You’d need the zombie guillotine to detach zombie heads for use as ammunition.

      • Tribune

        Hmm now to combine the 2.

  • AbdulAlhazred

    Now that is some elegant design. Long distance and short distance weapons without the inconvenience of gunpowder. It’s sort of the spork solution to the zombie killing problem.

    • Tribune

      Are you sure the spork solution to the zombie problem is not:

  • chf64

    Soon they’ll have even bigger boards with even bigger nails in them, we must retreat!

  • ZikZak

    1d4 for the slingshot
    1d6+1 for the hammer/spike
    +1 to hit vs. zombies

    • grs

      Additional +2 to hit if wielded by a cleric.

    • Trent Hawkins

      Yeah, but it is an exotic weapon… Unless you’re a German in which case you get a free Exotic weapons proficiency with it.

    • http://profiles.google.com/marc.k.mielke Marc Mielke

      The big one is the special ability to ignore the fumble effect of losing 1d6 rounds by having your weapon stuck in the opponent.

  • Adrian Ziegler – Millard

    Man, that’s cringey at 1:58 – nearly gets himself in the spine with the pointy end.

  • http://twitter.com/bendit bendit

    Anybody else expecting him to accidentally puncture himself during his back swing?

  • Ceronomus

    I want to see this thing in the next season of Walking Dead!

    • Forkboy

      If Michonne finally shows up next season you’ll get some slice’n'dice katana action which is even better.

  • jenjen

    The best part of that video was his proud little hip-wiggle at 1:50! “I’m so badass!”

  • noah django

    that was fucking METAL!

  • http://profiles.google.com/chudez Ted Bautista

    loving his mad scientist grin

  • Brad H.

    It’s all well and good packing heat before the zombie apocalypse. 

    Just don’t be caught off-guard by the arsehole that after getting into an initial skirmish with a group of zombies says that he’s “OK” but got bit. This person ruins everything!

    • Brad H.

      Btw, that arsehole would most likely be me. 

  • Bobsyeruncle

    Best use for particle board, yet!  I hate that stuff. :p
