Spoiler alert: if you're not caught up with The Walking Dead, stop reading. You've seen the most badass kills, now let's look at the most badass Walking Dead weapons. The show makes one thing clear: in the zombie apocalypse, any weapon will do. From garden tools to cutting-edge tech, the best weapons on Walking Dead are diverse. Tyreese wielded his hammer with deadly force, while Daryl unleashed havoc with a rocket launcher. The Seekins Precision Full Auto .223 rifle is another fan favorite - it's skull-shatteringly effective. Daryl Dixon's crossbow is iconic, and his willingness to use any weapon makes him a fan favorite. He's used grenades, golf clubs, and even walker skulls to take down enemies. Rick's Colt Python, Michonne's katana, and Carol's arsenal - which includes a sleeve gun, explosives, and knives - are also noteworthy. In Season 7, will Ezekiel's tiger Shiva see combat, or will Negan's Lucille steal the show? Choose your favorite Walking Dead weapon and vote.
About this list
- 1
Carol is listed among the deadliest weapons on The Walking Dead.The universe.
Episodes.Season 1 - Current Season.
Notable kills.Ed, Karen, and David, Lizzie.
Negan has Lucille. Does he have Carol? Our gang has Carol. She broke her cherry killing her abusive husband, Ed, after he was bitten by Amy. Mousy Carol used a pickaxe and cried her way through the process, tapping into long-bottled rage.
Carol lacks a signature weapon because she needs none. She used farm tools, handguns, rifles, knives, fire, explosives, deception, fear, cigarettes, casseroles, floral distractions, camouflage, Wolves clothing, and sweater sets. Negan really needs to get himself a Carol.
208 - 2
Character.Rick Grimes.
Episodes.Season 1, Episode 1 (“Days Gone By”) - Current Season.
Notable kills.The first little undead girl seen, Sophia, Bicycle Girl.
Rick’s signature weapon was standard issue for Georgia State Patrol, but Rick holds it in a Ricktator style. Rick used many weapons, but the Python is a favorite. Rick shot through a walker's mouth and killed two behind it. That is classic Rick. He also shot a couple of little undead girls with his Python (this isn't as pervy as it sounds if you don't know the show).
143 - 3

Character.Ezekiel.
Episodes.Season 7 (probably).
Notable kills.TBD.
The leader of The Kingdom, Ezekiel, has a strange pet/weapon: Shiva, a tiger. She is mostly cool. Be cool. Otherwise, a tiger will give you a beating.
133 - 4
Character.Daryl.
Episode.Season 6, Episode 9 (“No Way Out”).
Notable kills.Negan’s men, invading walkers.
Daryl blew Negan’s men away with a rocket launcher like a kid in a candy store. It helped when Alexandria’s walls broke. Daryl lured the walkers to the town's pond and set it on fire with the rocket launcher and fuel. Walkers like a good stew. The sequence got great shots and edits; it is like a redneck Fourth of July on mainstream TV.lured the walkers.to the town’s pond and lit it on fire with the rocket launcher and some fuel.

106 - 5

Character.Daryl Dixon, trifling-ass Dwight.
Episodes.: Season 1, Episode 3 (“Tell It to the Frogs”) - Current season.
Notable kills.Denise, a ton of walkers, hopefully Negan, probably Dwight.
Growing up in the woods dodging beatings from your alcoholic daddy teaches you to use weapons young. Daryl Dixon fits the zombie apocalypse perfectly. He dispatched many undead with his Horton Scout HD 125 and Stryker.
Dwight better be ready for his eye to be shot before he dies hard once Daryl recovers in Season 7. Dwight used Daryl’s beloved crossbow to kill Denise. What a d*ck.
95 - 6
Character.Rick.
Episode.Season 5, Episode 3 (“Four Walls and a Roof”).
Notable kills.Walkers, Tomas, and Gareth.
Rick made the machete an OMG icon in Season 5 of The Walking Dead.The Walking Deadlong after hekilled Tomas Oldboy.Gareth sent someone to the sky BBQ with a red-handled blade. He had to do it because he promised Gareth he would kill him when they first met. Rick horrified Glenn, Maggie, Tara, and Tyresse with this violence. Sasha and Abraham joined the fighting without hesitation.

Notable kills: Penny, The mothertrucking Governor, Hershel, Hershel’s head, RegPenny, the mothertrucking Governor, Hershel, Hershel’s head, Reg.
Michonne uses her Japanese sword with intense death-like joy. In Season 1, Michonne appeared from the dark, hoodie up, and cut through hearts. When she is not chopping a shag apple for Rick, Michonne slices through the wasteland like a sharp boss.
Her katana has been used for evil. The governor used it to kill everyone’s favorite apocalyptic grandpa (Hershel) and Jessie’s husband (Porch D*ck) used it to kill Deanna’s husband, Reg. Season 7 must end with Negan on this skewer.
85 - 8
Character:Sasha
Episodes: Season 5, Episode 1 (“No Sanctuary”) - Current SeasonSeason 5, Episode 1 (“No Sanctuary”) - Current Season.
Notable kills: Lots and lots of walkers, hopefully Negan right in the faceLots of walkers. Hopefully Negan is right in the face.

83 - 9

Character: Merle
Episodes: Season 3Season 3
Notable kills:Walkers
Rick chained Merle to a roof in Season 1. Merle reappeared in Season 3 with a bayonet for a hand. Good job, Merle. Good job.
83 - 10
Character:Rick
Episode:Season 4, Episode 16 (“A”)
Notable kills:Joe, the Claimed leader
A man can only take so much. Rick wasdonewith antics and rudeness by the end of Season 4. When the Claimed leader threatened to kill Daryl, rape Michonne and Carl, and shoot Rick, Rick hit his limit. Rick became caveman on Joe’s throat, shocking Daryl. Dag, Rick. Are you okay, buddy?
Andy Lincoln chose chicken over cold beef for that bite. He picked chicken. Who’s hungry?
74 - 11
Character: Glenn
Episode:Season 3, Episode 8 (“Made to Suffer”)
Notable kill:Merle’s walker assassin

74 - 12
Character:Tyreese
Episode:Season 3 - Season 5

Character: Maggie
EpisodeSeason 3, Episode 8 (“Made to Suffer”)
Notable kills:Many grossed-out Woodbury residents
Glenn is a MacGyver. He took the arm bones of a walker he killed and gave them to Maggie to fight her way out of Woodbury. What a mensch.
43 - 14
Character: Daryl
Episode:Season 4, Episode 8 (“Too Far Gone”)
Notable kill:Martinez’s tank
Slam dunk!
40 - 15
Character: Negan
EpisodeSeason 6, Episode 16 (“Last Day on Earth”)
Notable kills: We see Lucille during the Season 7 premiere, right?
Lucille, not BB King's guitar, is a death threat. The barbed-wire wrapped baseball killed at least one fan-favorite cast member. The weapon is probably named after Negan's wife, who died of cancer and turned.
Lucille has something good about her; she twists America’s former favorite past. She ended Glenn in the comics. Who will she kill on the show? Better yet, who will use this destructive weapon against Negan?
36 - 16
Character:Members of The Kingdom
Episodes:Season 7

27 - 19
Character:Eugene
Episode:Season 5, Episode 5 (“Self Help”)
Notable kills:Slip-n-slide walkers
Eugene and his mullet use the water cannon on a fire truck to wash away walkers. This cools them off and makes walkers punch at the same time.
25 - 20
Character: Morgan
Episodes:Season 5, Episode 16 (“Conquer”) - Current Season
Notable kills:Lots of walkers
Before Morgan Jones found peace in a cell, he killed many people with knives, guns, and what he stored in his small town lair. When Eastman finds him and helps the mentally and emotionally unstable man, Morgan seeks a new life avoiding harm. He takes up the okushakubō, or bō, a wooden staff, with Eastman’s push. Morgan uses the weapon very well, using it to stop enemies or confuse them, not to kill them, to Carol's annoyance.
23 - 21
Character:Andrea
Episode:Season 2, Episode 1 (“What Lies Ahead”)
Notable kill:RV walker
Andrea gets stuck in a camper's john when a walker tries to eat her. She fights back and uses only a screwdriver to fend off the walker.
14 - 22

Character:Daryl
Episode:Season 5, Episode 6 (“Crossed”)
Notable injury:Atlanta cop Bob

12 - 23
Character:Daryl
Episode:Season 3, Episode 10 (“Home”)
Notable kills: Bridge walker
Wily southern boy Daryl proves he does not need fancy weapons to succeed. He uses whatever. When a mother and child are trapped in a car by walkers, Daryl shows off the car’s best feature: a quick-closing hatchback. KaBLAM!

6 - 26
Character:The Governor
Episode:Season 4, Episode 6: “Live Bait”

The Governor thought fast and used a walker bone to kill. He shows an eye for quick ideas. Glenn gave him this idea.
1 - 27

Character:Michonne
Episode:Season 3, Episode 15: “This Sorrowful Life”
Notable kill: Roadside motel walkers
Michonne used the garrote, not her katana, to kill because she works hard. The garrote performs a good beheading.
-1 - 28
Character:Daryl
Episode:Season 4, Episode 12: “Still”
Notable kill:Undead snobby golf club members
Some fan made a video using Bill Murray’s audio from CaddyshackDaryl beat a walker with a golf club, showing visuals of him beating the turd-honkin' Jesus.
