[0:00]If you're surrounded by a zombie horde, you could choose only one weapon. What would you choose?
[0:04]The gun or the axe. But there's a myth that the axe is in fact the better tool.
[0:09]To test this myth, Adam and Jamie recruited 100 volunteers to act as zombies and built a 10-meter diameter circle to see which weapon would kill the most zombies.
[0:18]I'll be standing in the middle of a 30-foot diameter circle that is the human zone. Now when we give the signal, they will start their zombie shuffle towards the line of demarcation. We can't engage them until they reach that orange line, but once they do, they're all armed.
[0:31]First, they tested the axe. Zombies attack in three, two, one!
[0:35]Ah! Dead! I'm being killed! I don't think I killed more than 20.
[0:41]13. 13? That's it. Now let's see if a gun will make any significant difference. Here we go. Guns versus zombies. Three, two, one!
[0:54]Help! So Hyneman scored 25 seconds, six zombies! My average was just over seven kills. Mine was 14 kills. Axe wins!
