No, I watched the whole thing and tried to find a video featuring just that 20 seconds to no avail, so I posted the whole thing instead. I figured the given information would be quite useful since so many individuals favor the baseball bat and crowbar as a weapon. They can "serve" as a weapon, but one had better be prepared for the impact shock. Every action has an equal but opposite reaction.

While I do agree with you Slash, the fact of the matter is that some things are more suited for the title of "weapon." The main reason I put this up was to point out the "flaw" in some of the "environmental" or "found" weapons. I am not saying that a crowbar or bat would not be effective, I am only stating that in a situation where you have to fight more than one person (or whatever), it is far better to have a weapon that can easily be "recovered" and redirected quickly. A better way to put it would be the weapon that you could most easily control before, during, and after attack would be the best one for you.

As true as that may be, it doesn't change the fact that you cannot fight physics. You can use weapons that use the natural laws of physics to their advantage and bend the laws in your favor, but you can't break them.

I must dramatically develope and improve on my firearmitsu aka gunfu. Then I shall rule the world! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to appear on said show even though I will be practicing a martial art (my definition is probably different from everyone's). Not to mention certain firearms can kill even if one is using blanks. So no flashy fight scenes.
Improvised weapons will sadly be the order of the day for the vast majority of people. Not enough people pack heat, even fewer are accurate with their firearms, and crazy assed sword collectors rarely use their blades for anything other than display.
A weapon is anything that can be intelligently used, used multiple times, and is very portable. You don't want anything flashy, no one cares about your NailBat, especially when them nails don't come out of a zed's skull. From this perspective, any sort of light weight staff or pole would be your best bet, considering space and maneuverability. Mind, this is only a temporary fix. If you're searching the blasted wastelands looking for a better pipe, you're also looking to become one of them.
Even Gordon Freeman upgraded his crowbar when he found something better.
Uhm...I just used the video for the first part, but the rest of the video is pretty interesting so enjoy.

do you just dig through youtube, watch 20 seconds of a vid, decide if it's worthy of posting and just post saying "enjoy"?

Good point, but anything on this earth can be used as a weapon. Quite funny really, but personally I prefer the simple and chap BIC ink pens.
"They're coming to take me away HA HA, they're comeing to take me away HO HO!"
if you can wield it, it's a weapon.
