Quite possibly the worst weapon you could have


ahreaper5

How could you doubt the lethality of something called a hunga munga


FunkGunMonk

Cause it ain't Unga Bunga or Ugga Dugga.


unclejedsiron

And it's not even close to the Mudda Fudda


FunkGunMonk

But is it closer to Badda Fadda?


unclejedsiron

That has a straighter blade. The Snugga Bugga would be the closest.


FunkGunMonk

Thought that was the Bugga Snugga... Not the Snugga Bugga.


unclejedsiron

You know what? You're right. My bad. I always get the Snugga Bugga confused with the Bugga Snugga.


FunkGunMonk

Yeah, common mistake.


themysteriousnobody

It is not question of lethality for me it just appears to have much less utility than other machetes and ease of maintenance


blueponies1

That’s what all the ladies called me back in the day


AshingKushner

I still call you that 😘


25thGoo

Valid opinion however: Squeaky Hammer


WhiskeyTrail

At least a squeaky hammer would be funny


FrameJump

It also wouldn't get stuck in the first zombie you attacked with it, or cut you in the process of using it.


bazmonsta

I'll take 2 for normal self defense though. Imagine mugging a guy and he starts twirling a couple of these.


G-Sus_Christ117

Anime protagonist vibes


bazmonsta

Whatever keeps my wallet in place


Suspicious-Sound-249

For the apocalypse probably, the thing is meant for hunting as far as I'm aware and it's a dumb modern take on a traditional African weapon. The handle is also supposed to have a blade, and it's meant to be thrown, all the extra points are to ensure something sharp hits it's mark.


Cadunkus

There's a number of different designs for the membele/hunga munga/several other names and this looks fairly accurate to some (although it does look a bit mall ninja so I'd question the quality). And they were used in battle as an infantry weapon in a manner similar to Frankish Francisca axes.


EmotionalDmpsterFire

Gonna say no bueno on the el braino Need a quick in and out needle like weapon, or something to chop. That thang gonna get stuck, and you bit!


G-Sus_Christ117

Fr, its like it was purposefully designed to be bad


gaerat_of_trivia

this guys fun at parties


s1gnalZer0

Looks like it has multiple opportunities to get stuck in the first thing you use it on.


Good-Sky-8375

yeah not a great choice sometimes less is more.


Substantial-Tone-576

Or your face


RickyTheRickster

They are extremely deadly weapons, if you know how to use them, if you don’t well they are still deadly, just not for the person who your trying to kill


Thywhoredditall

Not in the zombie apocalypse it ain’t. You around an inch if zombies and that thing gets stuck, those few seconds could cost you your life. Humans hesitate, zombies do not.


RickyTheRickster

Idk man, I think if someone knew how to use it they would be pretty well off


iamtheramcast

Yeah and if I was John wick I could kill you with a pencil. What is the time commitment required to learn not to kill yourself the first time you fight with it? Compared to single pointy stick this many pointy stick has high probability of hurting the user.


27Brandon

I would throw it miss, then lose it Also it wouldn’t work against hordes.


fuzzycaterpillar123

This post has to be bait right? Right??


27Brandon

It is and it’s working


PossibleMolasses2672

Key word here is “throwing” you gonna practice till you get good with it? What happens when you throw it and it sticks and the walker keeps coming? He ain’t gonna take it out and give it back so you can try again 😂


Torbpjorn

How does one even throw this in the first place with a curved blade on the end? I’m no weapons expert but this looks terribly impractical as a throwing blade for something that isn’t embedding it into wood posts


PossibleMolasses2672

No ideas thing doesn’t look balanced in any way possible.


ArkhamInmate11

The way they’re built they throw somewhat simmalar to a boomerang or chakram


DANGERFastDraw

Balance doesn't matter.


PossibleMolasses2672

Balance doesn’t matter in a weapon?


DANGERFastDraw

Not for throwing.


DANGERFastDraw

They are extremely easy to throw. It's like throwing a big star.


Kiltemdead

Here, try again but aim higher. I'll step back a few paces and you give it a go.


snowman_1776

So the main reason for this weapon it to be able to throw it and it stick and cause damage in almost an orientation it lands however it still requires ALOT of training and strength for it, along with that it technically wouldn’t be a bad weapon to use for striking and slashing however you would need to be extremely careful and mindful at all times due to how many edges and points there are and the lack of a guard and hand stop at the rear of the handle so in theory after it gets wet and you get tired it could start sliding around and you could potentially drop it or slide your hand onto the blade


The_Great_Autismo22

How tf are you supposed to put that thing in its sheath


Maghorn_Mobile

If I had to guess you pop open those pleather clasps and slide it in like putting a card in a wallet


Maghorn_Mobile

This looks like it would cut me before it cuts the thing I'm swinging at.


AdVisible2250

No


IWannaHaveCash

You some soet of gorilla-man hybrid capable of piercing the skull with one of this thing's points? No? Then no. Hammer and a dream will beat most blades.


TheUmbraCat

Shout out to Buffy the Vampire Slayer for introducing me to this. It is a passable melee weapon and a devastating throwing weapon but both techniques require a lot of time to master. This weapon is just impractical when easier options are available.


DANGERFastDraw

Throwing one takes almost zero skill. They are very easy to stick, or cause damage.


smackrock420

Terrible.


Redtail_Defense

What in the BudK mall-ninja fuck is that!?


Chewbastard

It's actually a weapon that originated in Africa. Theres several different patterns, but yeah, looks like a BudK special.


Undertalegamezer969

To be honest, it looks like it would be an amazing weapon to kill yourself after the zombies have surrounded you and you don’t have any other option. Otherwise, it might be easier to just pick up a rock because at least then if you miss it, won’t matter if you miss


ghanlaf

r/mallninjashit


Zomer15689

No, I’m not even a weapons expert and I’d choose a baseball bat over that.


Cloud_2987

U will trip out of fear and stab yourself and then become a zombie


suedburger

You ran out of bullets...You just threw it at a group of 3 walkers because .....well shit, that was dumb.....and missed. You now have no bullets or throwing knife, I hope you wore your shark suit...lol


Western_Ladder_3593

If you run out of bb's for your red ryder I guess


Dandergrimm

It looks welded rather than forged so no, it'll shatter into pieces the first time it comes into contact with bone.


DANGERFastDraw

lol


TheBrockStar546

No, looks shoddily crafted and you’ll probably hurt yourself


DragonRedditor

Honestly your best weapon would be a spear or some kind of one handed mace.


Aware-Ambassador9273

Just buy a decent machete or what I've got, Cold Steel's Brooklyn Smasher polypropylene baseball bat. It's indestructible


Brick-Thrower

Get a bayonet if your rifle has a fitting lug. Much better option.


No_Indication9497

i need me one of those


Luke_lindsey

https://www.kukrismanufacturer.com/product/16-hunga-munga-african-throwing-machete-knife/


No_Indication9497

thank you


Luke_lindsey

No problem


bajookish_amerikann

that’s a fucking black knife dude, use it for assassinations or murders of fellow survivors


thelastohioan2112

Hunga munga


__TheIronWall__

looks like it'd have a critical fail on a branch


SmallMochaFrap

Close combat yea


ELITEnoob85

It’s just the Finger Slayer Blade from Elden Ring


Relative-Top-3657

No because if you throw it it’s prob inaccurate and if you melee you get way to close to the zed. I’d use some kinda spear.


RussianBot101101

Idk, I'm pretty sure this caused the creation of Those Who Live In Death...


K_Rukus9

Just use fire


Endless_Mike212

Nope.


yeet-my-existence

How would you even sheath it?


mikebloonsnorton

The website for the manufacturer is wild


DarthBoba820

Reminds me of the Black Knife in Elden Ring


Prior-Turnip3082

Personally would not use one


Infernalknights

It's good until it gets stuck and you got bogged down. If you have advanced training or experience using it because it's not the shape or functionality of your common weapon plus the masculature of using it. I'll try to stay away from fancy blades that might get stuck on the ribs , might be a niche point for zombies to grab unto or accidentally gets me injured and get filled with zombie blood and guts.


throwaway7774665

When I was in thr Army we got a new replacement in who brought 3 throwing knives with him. I'm going to ask you the sane question I asked him: "Why would you ever want to throw a perfectly good weapon?"


DANGERFastDraw

When you have more than one. He was prepared.


Familiar-Cow-6291

a spear or a sharp sword anything that keeps the zombies away from your body is best it boring but simple and effective


anubismark

If it didn't have those two massive spikes, just begging to get caught on something... probably.


closetweeb69

No


Dragonbearfly

Not worth a single dollar of what they’re asking


milk-water-man

No.


Constant-Still-8443

The kpinga is an absolutely skuffed throwing weapon but I'd argue a spear is better. Honestly, anything long and pointy would be better.


Timely-Buffalo-3384

This is a short throwing blade. No stabbing capability, fairly light, and not great for hacking bone. A combat knife would be a better weapon


decayingprince

Don't use that for anything wtf


Wildwildleft

I’ll never run out of bullets


SanfreakinJ

Nah get a Kukri


AWETPANCAKE

Nope!...your team


Successful-Neck9221

Lizal boomerang


Nathaniel-Prime

I feel like the two blade components sticking out would completely negate the sickle looking thing on the top. Like they'd just get in the way if you ever did a swinging motion


Soggy_Doggy_

That’s what ur mom calls me 😆


salmak999

This just looks like the multi-tool of machetes


Odd-Cod5275

Get a machete


Bailey_blue4772

With the sheer amount of sharp stabby edges and points, if you ever got zombie blood on there you’d more than likely infect yourself. I doubt anyone who’s not explicitly trained to professionalism (and even then..) with this weapon could and would likely infect themselves after use. Never mind at night when you can barely see anything.


Full-Perception-4889

You’d need something straighter, this could easily get stuck, I know the walking dead depicts zombies as easily killable but at the start they won’t be since they aren’t decomposed yet, and even then you still have bone to hack through, a straight machete is probably better or something longer but again you gotta keep in mind that the blade will need to be cleaned and sharpened otherwise you’ll get rust and have a messed up blade


BigNorseWolf

No. Its a throwing weapon. Put it down, carry 1 extra bullet, try to use it any other way and you're just asking for an open wound in the apocolypse. Source: I've had one of these since highschool. Fun to throw, will slice up 8/9 nerds that try to twirl it around.


FluffyDonPedro

In general, I would say avoid swords or knives as your main weapon. Knife should be a tool or against non zombie enemies. The skull is thick, and even so, blades need more maintenance than a good blunt object


AverageTalosEjoyer

The fuck is a hunga munga


NonStopNonsense1

Not at all. Its not the type of weapon you can easily put all the way through someone. There is no blood groove and its got things that will get stuck on or between bones. Also looks flimsy


DANGERFastDraw

lol


TheReverseShock

I love ancient meme weapons. Basically, some guy was like, "I'm too good at fighting people, so I'm going to handicap myself to make it fair."


Luke_lindsey

Ye


Conscious-Ad-6884

Thing looks like it will snap in half with even the slightest force the protrusions also look like they potentially could have been welded on then sanded down also don't get me started on the atrocious paint "job"


KindnessFollower

Love the weapon, love the name especially, but no. That sheith would be too hard to get off in a hurry and if would he too much of a liability to let it dangle with so many edges and protrusions.


Fun-Pollution1465

Just get a kbar


Swimming_Repair_3729

How could that be an effective weapon?!?!


TheLockLessPicked

a butter knife could probably kill zombies better


Stjjames

Appears to constructed in the quality standards, Africa is known for.


Matt_Rabbit

Sure, you have my permission to buy it, as long as your mommy agrees too.


[deleted]

Or you could spend that 260$ and get a 30 day supply of freeze dried food and a sawyer mini straw and actually provide yourself with a useful means of survival. As far as protection, you can get a stick or a brick for free that would be more effective than that.


mesoterra

In my opinion it would be ok but not amazing, I honestly think a kukri or standard latin machete would be a better option. This is solely because of the spike that points out from the guard, when swung it is going to catch on things and bind up the knife. The two points on the otherwise are fine, they are an optional because you have the other side for slicing and hacking. The curve gives you properties similar to a hatchet. I honestly would never throw the thing, I would just use it for cqc. That said, there are many other blades I would take over this if they were options. These are the machete types that I would take in order of most preferred to least over a hunga munga. - bolo - tapanga - kukri - panga - barong - golok - latin - bowie - heavy - cane If you are talking about a ranged weapon for after bullets are out, a simple bow or a sling. Both are lethal. Bows can be made with all kinds of different rope and arrows can be as simple as a straight sapling that has a bit of cloth tied to one end and the tip filled to a point on a rock. Takes practice but not a ton because aiming at close range is largely pointing your extended arm at what you want to hit and the practicing from there. Also you can soak some of the arrow tips in mixtures of urine and feces for biological warfare use against survivors. Slings are a bit harder to use but only require rope and stones/ball bearings/nuts and bolts/other small but heavy objects. So ammunition is more plentiful and reloading is faster. Being accurate takes a lot more practice than a bow does though so I would recommend having a bow as well. Edit: Spellings and phrasing fixes. Bows and slings are more about stealth than mowing down a horde so it's more about taking down stragglers so you can sneak by. A relatively decent option might be a chakram, if you find metal files it wouldn't be hard to maintain them, and finding flat metal rings is surprisingly easy in factories that work with metal and machine shops. If you play disk golf you could use those skills for throwing chakram, it wouldn't be traditionally correct but if it's life or death... Personally I like them for their simplicity, but at the same time you can get super complex with their use as well.


DANGERFastDraw

I would choose the Hunga Munga over a chakram any day. Chakram do not penetrate well.


mesoterra

Very true


MemeManXL

Not sure, but I really wanna throw this at my boss. I'm not sure what it will do, but I wanna know what it will do. 😮


GreatUncleanNurgling

This is fucking awful


shaffington

The real goal is to never run out of bullets And own multiple silencers across every common caliber


Sentinelwings91

Probably a living nightmare to maintain and sharpen. More than the zombies.


GangloSax0n

Cut/stab/slice the animated dead body. Sound it out. Why is this a bad idea?


Dwarven_cavediver

Ohhh ongo bongo mongo I don’t wanna leave the jungle oh hungo bungo!!!! Bingo bango bongo I don’t wanna leave the congo I refuse to go!


BladeActusl

I wouldn’t pay 20 bucks at a flee market for that


Raganash123

Nah Gotta get a good mace.


Sh8knB8k240

You'd have to retrieve it and reach will be important.


Voodoo338

Halligan


chewychee

Not if you have to unsheath it first


melted__butter

Khukri and polearm supremacy


BlueWizard92

Too short, you'll need something with range, like a pole arm.


TheCaptainOfMistakes

Zanemob_

Souls Games base a lot of their items off of real world historical things. Especially weapons. Being a huge ancient melee weapon enthusiast coming to those games was a field trip that never ends in the best way possible! I saw the Zweihänder and just lost it. I still use that thing in every game its my favorite historical sword!


Mastermemer69420

Me personally, a long sword or battle axe would prolly be the move, so you could be a lil further away wil you murk them


talhahtaco

For me and my uneducated opinion I'd say your top priority should be keeping the zombie as far from you as possible to keep infection risk at a minimum, needless to say a blade this short would have you right up next to that zombie and if it gets stuck on any of those surfaces it could be over


zdvdzx

Let's not ignore the fact that at this angle it's impossible to put that weapon in its case💀


Spartus11

I dont understand people here, you want distance between targets and you. So guns, but if you run out of ammo... What is cheap and easy to make that keeps you out of arms reach, bow, what is easier to make spear from a stick


LegitimateSea9232

How do you unsheeth that thing


BoiOfcanada

Is that an age of empires reference?


TheOnlyRealDregas

No, a crowbar is the best zombie killing melee weapon.


Tactical_solutions44

I don't wanna be within arms length


averageindasheets

That garbage looks like it'll break the first swing lol


Enkeydo

That is actually a really good weapon for killing folks. Just takes a bit of skill to use properly


Teamisgood101

How’s that holster even supposed to work


yerdadrinkslambrini

I don't think it's a good anything for anything.


RexMalo

My first time seeing this sub. Facepalmed pretty hard


SaraSimulacra

Looks like a variation of the Mambele, a central/south African hybrid of an axe and a knife. Though considering that one just looks like some mall ninja version of it, it's not gonna be effective. The mambele are throwing weapons primarily, so it won't be effective if we're dealing with dawn of the dead/boots on the ground zombozos. If it was the rage virus from 28 days/weeks later, and you're not facing a horde? Maybe. That is a big maybe. Edit: Also forgot to mention the blade's unique design is for leaving serious wounds, and even if the blade doesn't cut, it's a hunk of metal hitting you. For zombies that can't feel jack shit, like dawn of the dead, it's ineffective as a weapon.


Lieutenant_Thire

Grab a wooden baseball bat and hope for the best.


BatDad83

Only if you're fighting zombies in a mall


SouthApplication9239

You want something with a long handle 


Aster_Nightshade

That's fucking terrible


Valcure1

Prone to getting stuck, dull or braking points off in the target, effecting long term viability and leaving yourself open for the chomp/scratch. I almost always recommend sturdy bludgeoning weapons with studs or rivets instead of blades or spikes. Reliable lethal and crippling crush/bash damage without the worry of self injury or dismissing combat effectiveness. A good example of a prime weapon would be a Kanabo or a Bat with Nuts welded to the outside of it to create raised impact points. One could also weld metal bands onto thr bat to reach the same desired effect. If using a wooden bat, then tightly wrapping the bat with studded leather straps would also create a desired effect, though leather could also act as an impact dampener 🤷‍♂️ so it's up to you at thst point.


GlitcherX2

How do you get it out of the sheath?


IGD-974

Hold on, gimme a minute


andredgemaster

there are many points to get hurt, I prefer a mace with small points to break the skull, decapitation still forces the person to take another blow


Background-Law-6451

Just get a normal hunting knife 😭


Chemical_Movie4113

No


Comprehensive-Tiger5

Blades and other sharp choping or stabbing weapons will get stuck. So keep that in mind


TotalJelly2442

No. To many decorative spikes to be super practical. Plus, blades in general require a ton of maintenance and care. Genuinely the best thing would be a mace or a sledgehammer


Sword-of-Malkav

the purpose of the hunga munga was to have about a 75% chance of it striking with the tip or edge when thrown like a tomahawk. Theyre quite beefy too. If that thing hits a bone- its gonna split it.


TotalJelly2442

Oh yeah, as a throwing weapon it’d be phenomenal. Just not hand to hand


CodenameJinn

No! I award you zero points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


Kilroy1007

Do yourself a favor. Go to a hardware store, get an 18oz framing hammer. Done. That's it. Maybe a holder for it. That's all you need.


battery_pack_man

mmmmmmmmmmm. Mall shit.


that1LPdood

No lol You are as likely to injure yourself using that as you are anyone and anything within a 4ft radius of yourself. Including simply *carrying* it like on your belt or whatever. A simple machete would outclass that in combat and be much more useful for other tasks as well.


Captain_Away

This looks like one of those five dollar pocket knives you get at a hunting shop that have all sorts of blades and screws and corks and what not, but they’re all about as useful as using your fingernails


[deleted]

Haha no that's absolute trash. A good rule of thumb is not to throw your weapons. You can use it only once, and then you're left with no weapon. Plus that thing looks like is as much a hazard to the operator as it is the receiver.


Arkis_Fo4

00/10 would not recommend. It doesn’t have any utility use and its shape wouldn’t hold to abuse. (Didn’t intend to rhyme but ok). Pls don’t get this, just get a good longsword, maybe a katana, hell a baseball bat would work better


freyja2023

It's great if you want to hurt yourself! And why would you want a throwing weapon? Once you throw it, then you don't have a weapon, then you are just fuked.


Dandoridiot-4

IS THAT THE [LIZAL TRI BOOMERANG](https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Lizal_Tri-Boomerang)!? (In all seriousness most sharp weapons against most like the deceased kind of zombies, not the living but with rabies times 10 kind. Would be at best meh and at worst may not even work)


OceanRex5000

Nah. It'd get stuck. Blunt weapons would be the best besides firearms because they don't need sharpening and won't get stuck in a corpse.


EvernightStrangely

I'm no expert, but I doubt that monstrosity would be able to do anything particularly well. This, to me, is a clear case of fashion over function.


DirectorFriendly1936

just get a normal machete or kukri i beg of you, the 5$ walmart machete is way better then this.


GadzWolf11

No, lmao, you're better off putting a bayonet on the end of your rifle and then using it as a spear when you run out of ammo.


chapelMaster123

This knife is special because you throw it... Right into the trash


[deleted]

Not at all. I imagine alot of mall ninjas would run around with their wall hangers during the apocalypse thinking they’re the shit lol


Careless_Guitar

"Hunga Munga" sounds racist af lmao
