What weapons would you choose for survival and zombie hunting fun?! This is using current technology, not 40k gear! Assume unlimited ammunition. You can be inventive as you like, but stick to real world objects and you have to be able to reasonably carry it all. What would you choose???
I would go with a baseball bat for bludgeoning zombies in close quarters, a AA-12 combat shotgun as my primary weapon, and a Glock 21 for backup.

Rage " Zombies" aren't "real" zombies, they're just infected humans, so you don't have to get a head shot to kill them and anti-personal weapons will be much more affective against them...blow a rage "zombie" in half..it dies, blow a Romero zombie in half...you just made a "dragger".

But really another Zombie thread? Oh yea its the new month. Ok RAGE zombies, wouldnt change tactics to much, except for be less stingy on the ammo, like FITZZ said, those bastards die to bullets, unlike Ramaro zombies
Rage zombies? I like. Remington 700P chambered in .308, in a bag I can easily carry on my back. AR-15 for general mucking about. And the .45 for the "OHNOZOMBIEINMUHFACE" moment that always happens when you blindly walk into a house thinking everything is hunky-dory.
I lol'ed. Those moments are so damn predictable too. Scary dark house? ZOMBIEINMUHFACE! Dark alley with low visibility? ZOMBIEINMUHFACE!! Inappropriate sex scenes? ZOMBIEINMUHFACE!!!!

They don't need to swim, they just walk underwater.
Well , if the "zombies" in question are " rage zombies" then they would drown underwater, remember "rage zombies" aren't walking dead....they're just infected humans....so they would still require oxygen.
A .40 pistol with hollowpoint rounds if possible, a medium-sized axe for chopping heads, and an AR-15/57 with plenty of rubber bands for full-auto fire.
But then, if it's winter, the zombies would be frozen corpsicles anyway, being that I live in Alaska.
Each and every person in my famiy is capable of fielding a rifle and pistol. Team wienie has a converted a Ruger into a nice antiaircraft style gun platform. Unfortunately TBone doesn't see well...
I have a very effective plan that involves holding out until winter to swat frozen zombies, but I can't tell it to any of you guys.... for all I know, you'll be visiting Nodak when it happens, and you could turn into a zombie, then knowing my plans!
and an AR-15/57 with plenty of rubber bands for full-auto fire.
If a zombie apocalypse occurs, and your primary weapon is an AR pattern rifle, there are going to be plenty of burst/auto lowers laying around. Keep the rubber bands to help secure your bandaids or something.
Gimme my LE6940 and G35, my plate carrier, and far more importantly, a functioning off-road vehicle with some extra gas. I'm going to the desert with a enough supplies to last till the zombies starve.

In all seriousness, if the dead begin to walk, I've got guns, a car, ammo, and I'm taking them all to my uncle's hunting lodge in Alabama. Its the most remote place I have access to and in case of emergency there will be guns covering all sides!
Full auto shotgun(spaetnaz style), 15lb sledgehammer for bashing in skulls, and my best friends cottage out in the middle of Georgian Bay. Bring enough food an water to hold out for a season and then reclaim a small city and live like a mongolian warlord.

And guys, if there is any evidence of zombies, we meet up in Anchorage Alaska. Deal? I don't want to be stuck with my family, or the neighbors. I'll bring party favors and wimmins.
Plans to meet with friends and board up a particular house with supplies. Personal weapons will be a broom and roofing hammer. Nail in some boards on the stairs and just push 'em back with the broom. Too close? Cave in a skull. Overrun - escape route and back up plan to another house we have scoped out.
This would be me...just replace the brazilian baddies with ragezombies.
....it'll be a shame when those ragezombies get that plasma blaster technology though. I suppose it's the price one pays for being a SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS...just like me.
Against rage zombies - perhaps some kind of AFV - protection and hiding from zombies, enough space (kinda) to store food and so on for a couple of months or so, and possibly remote control weapons so you can shoot without being exposed if you get swamped. That way I can hopefully outlast the rage virus humans.
I don't know what you Brits have for AFV's, but you're not stockpiling anything in a Bradley. I'm not even sure how infantry piles into those things...

Check out the question in the OP - you can pick anything you want
@ Dragearen: thank you. The above is the product of about 8 years worth of careful planning and collecting.
@ KingCracker: Indeed. What I don't have pictured, is my Dillon progressive reloading setup. Depending on the load, I can pump out around 600-1000 rounds and hour. Some take much more time then others due to quality control and setup.
Also which range? I have access to 3 within a 30-40 min drive from me. My one friend has a pistol/short range out to 100 yrds with a covered shooting shack for year round access. My other friend has what he calls his carbine range... out to 300 yards. And then there is the "public" range that someone built in the middle of the woods in no mans land that goes up a hill out to 500 yards.
JP's posting pictures of his "babies" again, every time he does I just want to kiss my computer screen...
Of course this is why I've said for some time that JP will be one of the folks I'll be searching to link up with when the proverbial gak hits the fan...

The sad part of the matter, is that my safe no longer has any room inside of it and I have guns stacked up in hard cases leaning up against it... and I still know people that put my collection to shame by sheer volume.
One problem I do see with that many firearms, is if someone were to break in, you might take to long figuring out just how awesome you want to look to the cops when they show up to take away the corpse of a former burgler

Oh my god! This is already happening in the UK! All the braindead zombies are looting our shops! There is lawlessness everywhere! Hopefully they will all stave to death soon. As for the zombie problem - I think 'The Man' Bruce Campbell has got this one licked - chainsaw and car with huge rotating blades on the front (See 'Army of Darkness' for reference).

12 gauge indeed for zombies.

black templar wrote:9mm pistol with 3 clips, fire axe and a suit of armour.
Your sidearm and CC weapon are fine, but IMO Plate Armor ( which I assume is what you mean by " suit of armor") would be far to cumbersome and drastically limit your mobility, while not offering as much protection as you may believe...
It would be far to easy to find oneself knocked over while wearing heavy plate and overwhelmed by a horde of hungry zombies...who through sheer persaverance would eventuly pull you apart.
Yes, what would I use in the event of a zombie apocalypse... so many, many options to choose from.
Holy... Yeah...uh...I'm with jp Unlimited ammo...huh I'd go with an Aug or a military grade SCAR-H...for range give me an old fashioned kar with a scope (yeah its a bolt action but it still put huge holes through modern aircraft. Close up? 9mm or pref several .45s (at least 4 and a speed reloader as that could take too long). Hand to hand...simple piece of wood shaped into a bat...not one of the MLB ones as they break to easy. I'm afraid an edged instrument I wouldn't be able to pull out of the zombie in time to get to the next where as a bat does blunt trauma and glances off.

... Mausers got style, I'll give you that my friend...
But even for " ordinary" home invaders..I'll go with the .12 Gauge, massive stopping power, low chance of " over-penetrating" and hitting friendlies/innocents and by staggering your loads (.00 Buck/00 Buck/Slug/Slug..etc) you can " Multi-task".
The Scar is great, but for a modern firearm shooting a tiny round (5.56) it is a heavy gun. If I'm going to lug a heavy gun around, I'm going to grab my M1 where I know I can shoot a rager from 1,000 yards out if need be.

This is why I have a Saiga 12 with a side folding stock. It isn't pictured here sadly though. :(

I laugh at your silly notion... one can never have enough ammunition!
Seriously, bring more. Rubber bands and shoe strings make guns burn through the stuff like no tomorrow.
I'd go with my .224 Hunting Rifle. If my plan works, I shouldn't have to fight the Zombies close up. But just in case, I'd bring along my .20 Gauge shotgun.
The Heavy (H) version is 7.62 NATO, but isn't as common thus harder to get.
Besides, if you want a proven 7.62 battle rifle, be a man and use a M1A in a socom or bull pup configuration.
Also, 308 is a heavy round. The last thing you want are big ol mags sticking off your guns to get snagged on things. Standard issue mags and plenty of practice for smooth reloading will get you further in the long run then an extended mag.

True...my paultry little ammo cache ( perhaps 2,000+ rounds various) would scarcely be enough for the journey plus the first week of sustained contact, even factoring in going semi-auto and careful targeting...
Looks like I'll be making a few more " needed" purchases...

Well, in the case of "infected Rage zombies"...were really looking at a situation in which we only have to hold out for a matter of months...which I believe is very possiable.
In the case of actual "Zombies" ( the walking dead)...we're looking at years .
I personally have a 4 month long term food supply already tucked away waiting for a worst case scenario. Other plans are in place, but some things are best left off of public forums.

The Ak-47 is not what I would call inaccurate...not by a damn sight, perhaps on full auto ( but then in untrained hands most weapons on full auto are), but in semi-auto the AK can hold a very nice grouping, not to mention it's a very rugged and dependable weapon.

meh,ive seen a guy hip fire a M14 or whatever (sory,my gun knowledge is very rusty used to know all kinds of gak...) and got a very good grouping. the guy then used a AK 47 shoulder fireing in bursts and the shots were going in in a line pattern and was way less accurate. ive seen lots of simular stuff. however ive also seen the AK get striped and put back together faster and its definatly looks and seems more reliable. i just dont like it.

....
The M14 is a dang high powered sniper rifle designed from the ground up to put tight groups down range at around 1,000 yards. It also shoots the 7.62 Nato round. (308 Winchester) Big, BIG difference from the 7.62x39 round the Ak47 uses.
yes,ignore my whole part about me being rusty on gun knowledge. i meant something obviously smaller than that. like a...m4? no...dont think thats right....feth my horrible memory of names! ill go look it up i guess....then i will be back *que crappy dramatic music*
EDIT: wait,its right. the M16 is its original burst variant if i remember correctly too.
The M16 Shoots 5.56 and can be a tack driver. It is more accurate then a basic Ak47, however, when it comes to field performance it is what we call a "princess".
Basically, you have to paper it to make sure it works every time you pull the trigger. The barrel star chamber and bolt need to be cleaned, all the moving parts need to be lubed just right, a little mud or dirt or cold temperatures and she will throw a fit. ect ect.
The ak47 is what we call a "dirty girl"... I think you get the idea. After all, their is a reason why you only see an Ak and not an AR in my collection.
And, because these are rage zombies, you won't need much accuracy to kill them. You are most likely going to not have much time to aim, and be hip-firing most of the time.
AK-47 is the ideal automatic rifle for a Zombie-Apocalypse I would say.
My plan for if the world ends from top to bottom...weapons list, here we go.
My dad works in law enforcement and is an avid home protection advocate, my starting weapons would consist of:
A remington 870 An AR-15 A glock 17 A Sig Sauer (not sure of the make, its .40 calibre though) A Smith and Wesson .40 cal revolver A Taurus Judge (can shoot .45 ACP and 10 guage shells FTW) A KABAR knife (my dad's old service knife from the Corps) perhaps some random items such as tools, bats, axes, and machetes
The plan: Load everything up in my Ford Explorer and take a six hour trip (actually, it would probably take days or weeks if its the Zombie apocalypse...) up to my Uncles' Hunting Lodge located in the arse end of nowhere, Alabama. the lodge itself is built over a fallout shelter from the Cold War and has been over the years renovated by my uncles who are both into a bit of ametuer survivalism (If you think about the couple from "Tremors" that's pretty much them without the craziness). The Lodge is also built to withstand tornadoes and storms hat often pass through the area and is incredibly stable and has multiple floors and exits...Anyway, when I get there the weapons loadout will look more like this...(Bear with me, I don't have an exact count of all their weapons but I know of a few items from the times I have shot them on the range.)
2 30-06 hunting rifles 2 Compound bows a scoped crossbow 2 hunting shotguns multiple Colt .45s at least one .44 Magnum revolver A 1903 springfield An M-14 with scope An M-4 carbine An M-16 A Romainian AK variant An SKS carbine An FN-FAL (my personal favorite of the lot, i've shot it the most and am most familiar with it...) A Thompson SMG An M-3 grease gun An M-60 LMG All manner of utility and combat blades and tools as well as lockers of ammo for each weapon... And that's just the weapons, I never covered the hardware they have...
Yeah, its a doozy of a list but I've seen em all, I obviously don't have pictures because I haven't been to that lodge in years so that collection may have gotten larger or smaller, if I can find some I'll load em up...Obviously, a big load of guns doesn't make a catastrophe level survival, but it ain't a bad start...Though honestly I'd rather be JP in said situation, its better to have a few guns at hand in that scenario than have lots of guns hours away by car...
...Oh yeah, and hopefully stay there until either the army shows up or something else good happens...
lord commissar klimino wrote:i dont like the AK47. i just dont.
and rage zombies would be worse than corpse zombies IMO.
I have to say that I disagree with your opinion concerning rage "zombies"...
And these are my reasons...
First and foremost...Rage zombies ( not being actual zombies and merely infected humans) can die in a multitude of ways...where as an actual zombie can only be killed by a head shot ( or destroying the brain in some fasion)...
A mine field may kill some zombies...but it will kill most rage "zombies"...wounds that would not "kill" a real zombie will kill a rage zombie...
Second...Rage zombies will starve to death in a matter of months, a real zombie doesn't require food and can exist for years...
With the exception of speed...rage zombies have no advantage whatsoever over " real zombies"...( and even that's not true if you factor in Zack Snyder's "sprinting zombies" from the Dawn of the Dead remake.)
lord commissar klimino wrote:true...but rage zombies can also climb.well,possibly. they also would be smarter,if only a little.
it all depends on the senerio. id rather be surrounded by a bunch of slow zombies then a bunch of fast zombies.
...Perhaps rage "zombies" may posses a bit more inteligence ...but AFAIK ( from watching various flms) it would appear to be negligible ...the virus seems to make " run..kill...run some more" about the extent of their knowledge...
And again, while speed is of some concern ( particularly if surrounded)...in a straight up " turkey shoot" I'd take rage "zombies" as a target any day, trying to zero a dozen ( or more) head shots isn't as easy as you'd think...but knocking down several targets ( even running targets) with body shots is very doable...
...Basicly, if you remove the "virus" factor...you just have a group of homicidal humans charging you, now...I don't know about you, but I'm fairly sure that if you let me pick five guys and our load out, we could more than effectively stop a large group of running screaming unarmed humans.

If you're ever about an hour northeast of Gadsden on County road 171 I believe it is ( a dirt road at that...) and you find an offshoot road (its unmapped) that goes over three seperate creeks, find several "X" marked trees, and hear a whole lot of shooting and laughing....that's probably me...
Yeah, I'll look forward to that, I guess the end of the world will be bringing Dakkanauts together like never before...
Now all we have to do is hope we get more assets than liabilities ...
The only thing about this that sucks... is that I am stuck up here in North Idaho. Which means that when ITEOTWAWKI you all will be well outside my zone of influence.
This is true, but it also could be advantageous in setting up a "chain" of " safe zones" in case of a necessary " bug out".

This also is true, but unless you lads have HAM base stations for communications, I doubt this will be viable. (knowing a location is still secure before you bug out would be vital)

Join the Dakka apocalypse survival effort today and ensure the survival of 40k for tomorrow! If we want our kids to collect, paint and play with overpriced miniatures on weekends and sick days then we'll have to fight for it!
EDIT: @JP...Uncles have a CB radio...perhaps other stuff, haven't seen it all (that underground ahlter is big and when i was younger they wouldn't let me down there a lot...) Not sure of the range of a CB though...
You know IIRC the guy at the farm in MS. does have some sort of radio set up...not sure exactly what it is though...I was a bit more interested in checking out the various firearms he'd collected.
@ Warork...That's another plus side of the apocalypse...the prices of GW minis and kits go way down...
@ WARORK93: Cv radio? You mean CB radio? If you do, it really depends on type (base station, truck mounted, hand held ect ect) and the amount of power being pumped into it.
So depending on all that and terrain, anywhere from 2-25 miles without using a repeater.

hmm...perhaps i should just sneak in and take some guns then? wait,no. they can smell intelligence a mile a way! if i do something smart they will just want to kill me more!
Actually I've always believed that so called "backwards" rural folk will fair far better in an apocalypse situation than their tech dependent, starbucks swilling, yuppie counterparts...
Totally not stereotyping here either...

funny how only the technology part refers to me. just to be clear ive only ever shot shotguns. 20 gauge to be exact. always wanted to shoot more,but with 7 people in your family money is an issue.

.....what?
Those poor kitties..... those POOR PUPPEHS!
In all seriousness, I have a plan for a local emptied out former knights of columbus building. My plans include turning this gorgeous building into a bunker. So if the gak hits the fans, you guys will have a nice place to hide out in Michigan anyways. And the nice thing about Michigan, is looking at your right hand, you suddenly have a map for where you are, its handy.....eh get it?
I would head to my grandparents house (Nepali ones) and there is no danger of zombies here, everyone is cremated.
besides, a fact about my grandfather. he is just like yoda, all scrawny till he needs something done, then he is doing backflips and everything, he also has a huge-ass sword that he forged himself. and he use it to make dinner (goats and chickens don't start out headless)
Ahh cool your grandpas one of those old school hardasses eh? So was mine, infact my dad is one of those guys too. He has to count on both hands the bones he reset himself. Crazy bastard
yup. when my grandfather came here someone accidentally slammed the car door on his thumb and it locked (broken bones, the works) and he asked if someone could open the door please because his thumb was inside.
all without blinking.
he aslo fasted for two weeks to get indra (god of rain) to stop the villages drought...it worked.
he also (when some mouist insurgents were going to attack) went and stood in the road with his sword while the others ran away...the mouists were afraid of him when they came...and the man is only five foot at the most.
the mouists (insurgents) actually ran off. true story.

When you tell that story, I think of these guys...
Your from Nepal right, you must have some family members that were gurkhas...or at least some of those sweet kukri knives...
and yeah, I have a kukhri. so does my dad, they use them to do farming a lot, he ended up grabbing a handful of grass once and shearing it, then finding that he had just grabbed a cobra lurking in the grass and cut off it's head.

Blimey! Your Grandad is THE MAN! Respect (I wish I was that hard - and he's probaly over twice my age!)

Gurkahs are just plain born badss, if there was a place where I would want to be stuck during the zombie apocalypse, it would be Nepal...why?
Mountains...lots of them...
Small men with huge knives...sounds weird but they know how to use them...
Hmm... Im gonna have to go with the worlds most powerful shotgun. the current, FUNCTIONAL prototype for the US navy's railgun, loaded improperly with a steel bucket full of pennies.

I could get my American grandfather to come too, he once punched a hole in a brick wall. his nickname by his brothers was 'mighty mouse' he also got a Marksman's Medal during Korea.
He's British, their gun laws are horribly laughable.
Automatically Appended Next Post: But I did find out that Saiga makes a .410 auto shotgun, and the gun store down the street can order me one. Heres a video, me want. Me want badly
Your gramps looks more middle eastern, honestly. But he still looks like a hardass who goes completely apesh*t when somebody cuts him at an intersection.
In a rage zombie apocalypse, I would wear a full suit of armor, a gas mask, and wield a C-8 carbine with a belt feed to a backpack full of Antipersonnel rounds . BLOOD FOR THE GLORIOUS CORPSE-GOD OF HUMANKIND!

Bet you wouldn't make it 1k yards before you are so winded that you collapse from exhaustion.
I would take the biggest space ship I could get my paws on, stock it full of food as several WMDs (kinetic rods, preferably), then blast off to the moon and start belting earth with giant telephone poles...FROM SPACE!
When it comes to zed, it really depends on the type you are referencing. Ragers have the same senses as a normal everyday person, while traditional "undead" have heightened smell and hearing, which would defeat the purpose of a Ghillie Suit. So unless you are worried about other people, I personally do not feel that it is a worthwhile investment in this situation.
As for my sig, you are free to PM me to discuss things.
Well i had in mind to use it to hide from zombies (assuming that these are Rage zeds) and possibly other survivors. the fact that most of Finland is covered in forest also would help me to blend in.
(Wildhost: I know that JP is cavalry, but there are plenty of people I know, who are deployed to the middle east currently who don't like wearing/doing things like that, they say it feels disrespectful to the culture, not the insurgents [who ARE Bast*rds] I don't really want to get into an argument ATM, so lets just get back On Topic. everyone is entitled to put what they want in their sig, I was just pointing out it may be taken as offensive to people from that part of the world or with ancestry in that part of the world [including me])
automatic shotgun, shotguns have better range than films/games give them credit for.
M14/AK47 (the AK has simply put, powerful shots, these make a big difference)

At least that is what i had in mind.
edit: 4xninjad :(
While it will help you blend in, the problem is that it is bulky and has a tendency to slow you down. You would be better off with a Ghillie blanket that you can quickly ditch if/when SHTF.
I think I would hold out in my grandparents house (my American grandparents)
the house is massive but has great fields of fire, and cover. even inside. it would also give me the edge in CC as my grandfather keeps his old bayonet from korea in a drawer, lemme tell you, that think is kept so sharp it can cut anything. they have good fire pokers too.
When it comes to army vehicles, the trick isn't knowing how to drive them, it's figuring out how to start them correctly.
Uncle Sam doesn't believe in using keys as soldiers will have a tendency to lose them during battle. So he has come up with a million and one ways to start a vehicle.
Military family. both sides.
(I got plans to join too [probably gonna regret it by the first day though, if what my uncle tells me about the Marines is true] every guy in my family has...hopefully the war will be over by then...I need someone to pay my way through Vet school anyhow)
Actually...against Rage zombies, fire might work better (albeit only by a little) as rage zombies feel pain lighting a bunch on fire at once might be distraction enough for you to get away...
Now obviously that is only viable in an open area as I'd not want to be backed into a corner with a bunch of fiery zombies in front of me...
So many of you are thinking to much inside the box.....
1. Nuke (So what if you die in the process, you've killed like 100,000 zombies in about a split second)
2. If you survive for some odd reason, bring a sling shot, you'll laugh your ass off you hit a zombie in the head and he just makes a sound kinda like this "OOMPF"..."GAAAAAaaaaa"
3. A really really tall ladder, so when your up top, even a rage zombie doesn't have the mind set to climb up ;D

1. But..I want to live, survival is the whole point.
2. Ok, I'll give you this one...that's just funny.
3. They don't have to climb it, just have to knock you off the top of it...now of course being on top of a structure sniping..win.

1. attract zombies to your position
2. Lead to the top of high structure.
3. Cross retractable bridge to other structure
4. retract bridge, sit in conveniently placed recliner, listen to "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......" For three hours...
5. Win.

Take a closer look at the picture I presented.......yep... stare a little longer..... your starting to realize it... YES! The idea hit you, I saw it. And your right my friend, thats a rage zombie
...That's just amazingly sad 
used to know all kinds of gak...) and got a very good grouping. the guy then used a AK 47 shoulder fireing in bursts and the shots were going in in a line pattern and was way less accurate. ive seen lots of simular stuff. however ive also seen the AK get striped and put back together faster and its definatly looks and seems more reliable. i just dont like it.
