Something that I could actually use somewhat effectively & be useful for more than defense? The Machete.
Chop chop chop no matter what the problem is should solve it. |

Short sword is quicker at the draw and handier in tight quarters.

i would likely choose hatchet followed by machete as they are the most useful tools there. I would do my best to avoid engaging in melee

E-tool! Hit stuff, dig stuff, pry stuff, block stuff, hammer stuff, chop (some) stuff. Fold it up and stow it when there's no stuff to do. |

The cane I have to use to walk and a good blade. My Kukri if I get to prepare, or just a folder would do in a pinch.

Spear if at all possible. It’s fast, easy to use and keeps things needing to be attacked further away. That would be outside though. Short sword or hatchet/tomahawk for indoors.

Gladius. Tomahawks tend to stick in the target, giving you a one-hitter. Hammers, and bats are too heavy/slow.

My Cold Steel Gladius "machete" and my Estwing tomahawk, if I got to choose.

Whatever's handy or apropos for the situation. Most realistically, a bat or machete, which are very common and easy to acquire.
I'd want a little more reach than a hatchet or tomahawk would provide. A pole arm or halberd is a great weapon, though next to useless in tight quarters because they're so long. Oh, and in b4 someone says nunchucks.

Recorded history says that the sword was the best weapon through trial and error, so I'll learn from them and go with a sword.

Hatchet. More usefull outside of a fight as well.
Second choice would be a bat. Better reach than the hatchet and it is less likely to get stuck in someone or something when I need it to not be stuck. |

Hatchet is probably the most useful. I can also run straight in to gun fire with it raised in the air like my ancestors at the red river rebellion.

Quote HistoryToo long and bulky to be able to be a viable weapon against multiple attackers and in many other close-in combat situations as well. You would need more than just you in order to make this kind of deal fly. |
