The war scythe looks similar to the glaive or guandao, but it has no hook and is only a curved, thick blade on a staff. It was meant to be the weapon version of the common scythe, which was used to cut shocks of wheat in fields. It is less curved than a common agricultural scythe, however.
     

    The monk's spade (or shaolin spade) also displays similar strengths and weaknesses to other pole blades. On one end, it has a wide, fluted, d-shaped metal spade, and on the other side, it has a half-moon of metal. It was meant be used both as a tool and a weapon. It could be used to dig in earth or to defend oneself from thieves. However, the weight balance is unwieldy, and it takes training to use. The spade part is heavily stylized now and would not be useful for digging if so required. It can be used effectively against the undead, and this weapon is supposed to be excellent for neck chopping and decapitation maneuvers. The chance of finding one of these in working order, however, is sparse.
     
     

Explosives and Bombs
     
     
     
    Explosives and bombs are an entire class of weapons that may be of use to some during the zombie apocalypse. They can take out or damage a wide number of zombies quickly. However, user injury is a real problem for weapons of this type. Once the existing supply of explosives has run out, the user is left with the only option of making the weapons themselves. Not only does this involved tracking down the raw materials, it also involves dealing with volatile chemicals that are inherently unstable. There are plenty of uses for explosives if the user is an expert at making and detonating them. Rocket launchers, land mines, grenades, and napalm all have their uses on the undead. If the user decides to use explosives during the apocalypse, they must do some stocking up of explosives, or basic materials to make them, beforehand.
     

Rocket Launchers and Hand Grenades
     
     
     

    The Rocket Launcher is often shown in the media as a weapon capable of wiping out a large area (especially when a character is in a pinch). However, the reality is that these unwieldy weapons are expensive and imprecise, and this may make them a poor option.  For one, this was not a weapon designed to decapitate but to damage soft tissue areas resulting in bleed-out in live victims. With zombies, unless you are trying to make an escape, anything that does not effectively target the head becomes fairly useless. A rocket launcher is a shameless waste of energy and time (not to mention materials), and the chances of actually destroying the zombies, rather than simply slowing them down, is slight. Its heavy weight lends to its unreliability in the field. Error levels can be fairly high, and insignificant factors (like weather) can influence its accuracy. One must also know how to maneuver the rocket before launching to ensure that a certain level of accuracy is reached. Accidents are common and injuries to the user can be substantial. Newer models help alleviate some of this. However, their extreme heft and price-tag make them an ill-advised choice. If you have one at your disposal, you should save it for the living or for a last-ditch getaway effort.

    A hand grenade's effectiveness depends a great deal on the user and the user's upper body strength. If the user does not have the upper body strength to throw the grenade far enough away, the user will be injured. The grenade itself is designed for soft tissue damage and bleed-out, and because of this, it may not be the best weapon for zombies.  They can be fairly effective in the hands of an expert or someone who is in a field where prior training with hand grenades was required. Of the types, fragmentation-based would be the only logical choice. Any smoke or gas-based grenades would useless on the undead. There is a rare chance of puncturing the skull with a fragmentation-based version, but the average user should not get their hopes up for that kind of outcome. My advice is to avoid
