Is Clem's Screwdriver Really As Effective As It Seems?

From this video it seems that overall, you can use the screwdriver to kill a zombie but I doubt Clem has the force to do so, especially in just one jab of force

Wasn't it an ice pick?
EDIT: Dislikes, ugh, opinions.
It isnt really accurate for half the stuff clem is doing.
E.G
Draggging a full grown man inside a store
Chopping of Sarita's arm in two hits
Kicking down a door several walkers couldnt budge
It is a game at the end of the day
Maybe, its hard to tell, in that case it would probably work fine, but i don't know if she has enough force to drive it through a skull in one hit
True but I thought it was worth sharing anyways
She did break a door down and drag a fully grown man in the same episode, I think she could do that.
I suppose, but both of those things are unrealistic as well, oh well, also in case you're wondering, I'm not the one downvoting you :P
That wasn't nice, I only said my opinion.
I don't think it was an icepick
So you can say "it wasn't an icepick in my opinion", why the sudden urge to dislike people's comments?
I'm pretty sure it's an icepick or a scratch awl. In that case, it wouldn't be that far-fetched for her to kill with it. If she aimed for weak points (under the chin, behind the ear, eyes, etc) it probably wouldn't be that difficult. The kills where she stabs thought the skull? I'm gonna chalk that up to the 'rule of cool' trumping realism.
Be careful, saying your opinion is not legal in these areas >_>
I'm pretty sure it was an ice pick, too. Screwdriver makes no sense, but ice picks are much sharper, lighter and quicker than a hatchet, making it easier to drive into skulls. I assumed that's what Jane meant by it being more "effective".
The only problem I had with the ice pick was I wasn't convinced a quick jab through the skull like that could destroy the brain enough to stop a zombie from reanimating - I mean, Clem literally sliced Nick's brain into pieces and it still took three chops to the head to completely stop him from moving.
Finally, someone to back me up xD
Yeah, it's not too logical, but I guess enough damage to the most vital parts of the brain are enough to stop the brain from functioning.
"Versatility is not overated." -Jane
Plus zombie's start to rot and their skulls are easier to penetrate.
Maybe, but the way I see it, the way people state their opinions is just as important as the opinions themselves. I can often dodge the dislikes by acting polite and non-confrontational.
Still, I'm surprised people downvoted you for pointing out that she was probably using an icepick, rather than a screwdriver.
It takes a long ass time for skull to decompose and even if this was the case, the brain would be decomposing far before the skull started to so the zombie wouldn't be alive anyways
Weapons in the Walking Dead work how the plot demands they do.

You can say that again.
You actually did say that again xD
I think it was an ice pick, and also Attack on Titan is awesome!!!
Hell yeah, that anime changed my mentality bro.
It's that good, that's why! They need to release season 2!
I think the points she hits with the Ice Pick are vital for the kill, under the chin into the stem of the brain, and in the back of the head just above the nape of the neck.
Yeah, seems like it.
2015 man ;-;
It's too far away!!!!
I don't read the manga, because the experience just isn't as good as the anime, but you can look at it a little to see what we can expect for.
You're probably right that an ice pick would serve better, but doesn't it make more sense that it would be a screwdriver? Just from a "what's going to be lying around lots of places" kind of thought. I don't know, maybe ice picks are really common in the US?
On the wiki it says it's a scratch awl. I agree though with Max the under the chin and back of the neck attacks seem viable, but the skull is definitely the Rule of Cool.
I know, but if you replay the episode, I'm pretty sure the edge is pointy and not the same shape of a screwdriver.
It's a scratch awl.
Yeah, I heard a lot of the manga fans get upset with the show, but I think it's freaking epic.
i zoomed in on it it's an ice pick and clementine says to mike she stabs the back of the neck
You can sharpen screwdrivers d: but that doesn't mean it wasn't an icepick.
Personally I'd stick with a weapon that has more range, like a baseball bat or similar. Screwdrivers, ice picks, etc potentially get a one hit kill, but you need to get really close to the walker to do so.
any one remember on the bridge that rebar clementine can use like a bo staff that is the best thing to use to kill walkers
Well, you can't cut off arms with it, i'm sure Sarita would agree.
Well the whole body probably is weaker and rotted, so it isn't impossible.
