What kind of melee weapon would be good for home defense?

A trident

>three prongs - triple the chance of hit

A bayonet attatched to a gun

>>31602096
I was gonna say halberd, but this would do too.

A gunblade, pull the trigger when you make contact for a harder hit

Kukri tbqh.

>extreme slashing force
>pretty good at piercing too

>>31602074
A spear or a halberd.

Bought this as a novelty a couple years back, turned out to be pretty nice. I've used it to chop down trees thicker than my arm, though I wish the fucking wrap was on better

You could replace the wrap with some bicycle handlebar tape, if it's really bothering you.

>>31603078
I didn't until I picked it up to take that pic and it was falling off

I'll have to do something like that

Knife on a broomhandle.

I have never trained with a spear, but goddamn the shortspear is such easy mode weapon in hallway.

>>31602096
Or you could have one very big blade, so that the area between each prong that wouldn't be touched otherwise would be hit.

Hello, Mr. Savage

>>31603015
Is it full tang? Is the head secure? Id say sharpen it and wrap it in paracord.

>>31603452
Yep, it's all one piece of metal with a grip around it, really sturdy and sharp as fuck

My only problem is the spike on the back. It's not really useful for anything and I don't like it coming toward me when I chop. But, it's a novelty item so it's not even meant for how I use it

The cheapest yet sturdiest woodcrafting knife you can find in a hardware store. Easily wielded and sharp as hell if you dont use it until you need it.

A baseball bat if you feel like you need to have some range, but it won't be se manouverable in corridors and doorways.

I've always felt that way about hawks and double bit axes. Swinging it with a sharp spike or another edge on the back, and having it glance back into your leg has always been a personal nightmare of mine.

They do have their uses though. You could always stick a rubber bung used on chemistry flasks on there so it's covered up when not in use. Stops you from getting stuck, and the spike is still there for when you need it as opposed to grinding it off. Another Kukri of mine, this is more of a novelty though.

Baseball bats are second best when compared to D-Cell Maglites. Maglites can be swung with full momentum in small hallways, and have the added advantage of being able to dazzle and ruin your combatants night-vision. Pickaxe handles work well too, you can cut one down to size and wrap it in copper wire from an old appliance, (An alarm clock, television, lamp .etc) for added weight.

Machete

>>31602074
Chopper/Machete 10 inches or over. Lots of surface area to strike/stab

Tomahawks aren't a bad option too. With spikes, you run the risk of impaling yourself on a back stroke. You're also limited to only swinging the hawk (which most people would do regardless)

The right bayonet will be fine even when not attached to a firearm.

A kaiserblade. Some folks call it a slingblade, I call it a kaiserblade, uh-huh.

>>31604390

Been after an Ontario Bayonet for a while, every time I have money to burn I end up spending it on something else.

>>31604390
is that a fucking shotgun

>>31604578
Mossberg 590a1, which is just a 500 with a bayonet lug.

A short butchers hatchet.
The tomahawk is so homosexual and just yells insecurity.
The butchers one is for meat.

How is a tomahawk homosexual?
