I have a few Bowie’s and an excellent hammer forged Viking axe from Sweden. They will never run out of ammo

I think a good machete would do the trick.

I have a crossbow, blowgun, various knives and a tactical tomahawk.

I could really use a broad sword

Pawn shops often have swords.

And they are almost all relatively useless wall art. A good sword isn't often found in a pawn shop. Nor is the skill to use one effectively. Knives are also things best chosen carefully. While a good tool needs a competent user, one should also remember the old saying regarding tools.

A craftsman cries when he buys his tools. An ordinary man cries when he breaks them.

Never trust your life to inferior tools.

True.

crossbows and arrows are very reliable weapons if ammo runs out

Umm... I think with the "full auto" bow that this crazy German built you'd run out of ammo in about 10 seconds.

Agreed. Powerful, silent, long range and can be built or crafted in a pinch out of a lot of materials.

Trip lines, trap doors, snares, sugar rockets, potato guns, belts, and anything near you.

I'm pretty good with a bo staff, you gotta have skills, girls only like guys that have good skills.

Exactly! Also, don't forget about numchuck skills, bow hunting skills, and computer hacking skills!

I don't see keyboards on this list, it is very incomplete. Oh wait I thought this post was about the government collecting them. It's all so confusing who is collecting what.

For those with an inner-Katniss I highly recommend Joerg Sprave's "Slingshot Channel" where he reviews and builds all sort of non-gunpowder arms. His maniacal laugh is killer.

Of course. It doesn't hurt to also understand how to make them. And how to use unconventional items as weapons.

I am quite good with wrist rockets and throwing knives. I also have a passable knowledge of practical chemistry.

I have only a bowie knife and a wood longbow as alternatives, really need to step up my game...

I have seen some high power air rifles do some interesting things. I would strongly suggest getting a lathe. It is indispensable for repairs and fabrication on a vast number of things from projectiles and weapons to automotive or tooling.

A 3D printer is good for making accurate parts and molds for casting.

Thorough research and understanding of unconventional warfare critical.

Good luck.
