It has a resonator, per Youtube clip.

For comic effect, Woody slams the resonator, with tremendous force, against the zombie's face.
However,wouldn't the principles of physics indicate that striking with the EDGE put more pounds-per-square -inch of impact on the target area, resulting in greater damage?
Research based on:
1.Tthe History Channel's description of the difference between the triangular arrowhead, as traditionally depicted in motion pictures about the English longbow, and the actual SPIKE shaped arrowhead, with which the logbow was able to send an arro THROUGH a knight's armor plate.)
2. An article in a 1960 magazine, on the difficulty of manufacturing fllor coverings, bemoaning the fact that a 100-pound woman, in a pair of spike heel shoes, with 1/4 tips, puts down 100 lbs per sq.in. with each step.
3. The officers who would encourage troops forward by striking them with the flat of their swords, rather than the edge, since using the edge would damage the soldiers.

Take the rez OFF a bottlecap banjo, and you've got a mace bristling with 24 solid aluminum spikes!
Of course, we could start a rumor that the zombie-like desire to mindlessly acquire more and more banjos, the dreaded Banjo Acqusition Syndrome, is a virus spread by stabbing oneself in the hand with the 0.010 pinwire that protrudes from the 5th string peg.

If there were zombies breaking into my house, first I would use guns and then I would resort to banjos. Now I've heard, and I can't vouge for this, that accordian music will keep zombies at bay.

It's not so bad if those broken banjos saved you from flesh eating zombies. Next time you may want to try accordians.

The strange part is that it does not break in two after the "double tap." BTW, all should go see this movie, it is a hoot. I laughed all the way through it.

I think someone in that movie needs to check his target before he shoots... LOL

Save the banjo. Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call" worked good on Alien's, maybe it would work on Zombies

Let me warn you about "Indian Love Call". Nelson Eddy/Jeanette McDonald did a lovely version, in the movies. (See Youtube for a demo). Here's how the Legend Of The Indian Love Call really got started. Report has it that a City Fellow was on vacation in a mountainous portion of the country, and hired two Native Americans as backwoods guides. Long the mountain trail, whenever they saw a cave, one of the guides would go to the entrance, and yodel out "Wooooo! Woooo!" City fellow asked why, and the guide replied: "When our unattached wimmenfolk get so eager for snuggling, that they can't hardly stand it, they go off and stay in a cave, until the passion passes. But, if a fellow should happen by, and call out to her, she will answer, and then the fellow will go in and offer her comfort. That's why we call it pitching woooo" Wouldn't you just know it? About two caves further along the trail, one guide lets out the "Wooo, wooo!" and gets a response. "Scuse me, gents!"  says he, and heads into the cave, unbuttoning his shirt as he goes. And, sure as shooting in deer season, at the very NEXT cave, the other guide warbles out a melodious "Wooo, wooooo!", and gets a positive result. So he tells the city tourist: "Hate to leave you in the woods, but this is a clear trail, down hill to the river. Wait there, and we'll catch up with ya." And he heads into the cave, unzipping his jacket as he goes. City fellow heads downhill, no problem. And he's within sight of the river, when he notices a very large cave. So he figures, why not try enjoy a local custom?  Let's out with "Woooo, woooo!" And back from the cave, loud and clear, and in a much higher pitch, so he KNOWS he's not being fooled by an echo, comes, "WOOOO! WOOO!" He runs into the cave, casting clothing every which-a-way. Next day, headlines in the paper: "Naked Tourist Found Dead In Railroad Tunnel"
