Reusable ammo is a good point. Kai, while I do agree that a line has to be 
drawn, how would we be straying from the zombie theme by adding more 
weapons? It's funny Johny mentioned sports stores, because in half the 
zombie survival shooters and even movies you watch, people are always 
raiding those things to find goods, whether it's a shotgun, a first-aid kit 
or a bow. You're not straying from the theme if the enemies stay intact as 
zombies, and you're trying to survive. This is just a use of all the 
resources you have.
As to knives. Well, I don't know much, but being a weapons-lover myself, I 
have to disagree about a knife being inaffectual... as some have already 
said, knives with long blades exist. Zombies are slow, so I could see it 
being easy in theory to circle around one and slam a blade into the back of 
its head. And while I wouldn't go so far as to include a broadsword or 
katana, a long-bladed knife would be perfect, especially since as Shadow 
Dragon said, any small axe would require you to get in close and wouldn't do 
much besides, whereas a knife, with a sharper blade menat for hacking and 
chopping meat and bone would probably net you more results. As to an rpg... 
that would actually be a perfect weapon for this game. And while I agree 
that this game may have more weapons than any other audio shooter, even a 
small, independent-developed mainstream shooter will typically have quite a 
few more weapons than what swamp has right now. Swamp is a great game 
especially when compared to audio games... but in the comparison to 
mainstream games, it's a small dot on the map which is growing nicely. And 
like I said earlier, those extras don't have to be mandatory... they're 
called expansion packs, or as mainstream consoles gamers call them, dlc 
which means downloadable content.
