Joerg Sprave’s latest weapon can fling bolas – or really a surujin – through the air, wrapping the projectile around the neck, arm or leg of its victim. He says he designed it to capture zombies so you can break off their jaws.

We love this rough-around-the-edges animated tribute to The Walking Dead’s Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), painstakingly created by aspiring 13-year-old animator, Nick Mastrangelo.
