I am also a modern collector of weapons. But the thing is most people don't
know where to go or what to look for. People always ask me where I get my
stuff. Swords, axes, medieval-style knives, just aren't that common these
days. Haha though I do have an axe that would be perfect for hacking even
larger zombies apart. It's about 3 and a half feet long from the butt of the
shaft to the tip of the blades, and the blades span almost 2 and a half feet
across. I'd think that could even hack the arm off a tyrant. But really, as
you've said, going up against a zombie with a melee weapon is just silly, as
is shooting a zombie multiple times and expending a couple clips of
amunition on some weapons just to bring down a few zombies when you should
be going for strictly head shots. So realism really is not a factor here.

Have to disagree on the part about modern melee weapon- being a collector
and a swordfighter of sort, I know that getting your hands on a fully
functional and high quality sword is not that difficult- provided you know
what to look for and where to go.
Especially since zombies aren't likely to be clashing steel against you,
all you have to worry about is the sharpness and grade of your steel- even
a replica longsword, if it's full-tang and at least 440 stainless steel,
can probably chop through rotting flesh/bones with ease- while keeping you
far enough away from arms reach.
Agree about that part where you'd go against a tyrant though, in that
case, definitely a gun's prefered.
If these tyrants are anything like the resident evil ones.
