"Main thing seems to be to take out the head," he said. "So I figure a good blunt weapon with some reach is best, so you can hold 'em back while you take 'em out. Movies like shotguns, but if the infection's blood borne, you don't want that sprayin' all over the place." Weren't you glad you asked, Kathy? "A good bo staff should do ya. Or your bokken. You might want to swap that gi out for somethin' more like body armor, too, so it's harder for 'em to break the skin if they bite ya. Assumin' one of your techie buddies hasn't already souped your gi up for you."
