Fortunately, I can get on to military bases, so first news of the outbreak, I'm headed to one of those. Unless it breaks tomorrow, in which case, I'm already on base, as it's where I live currently. I'm also pistol, shotgun, and rifle trained, as well as longsword, staff, and two-handed hammer trained, so I can most likely take care of myself if given the chance.

Let's assume that these are the stereoypical zombies that walk slowly and can survive having their heads shot off.

Well,I'm familiar with the slow moving zombies (God bless you George A. Romero),but can't say I've ever heard of a zombie that can survive having their head blown off,according to all zombie lore I'm familiar with "you destroy the brain and you destroy the ghoul."
I belive that if there were an outbreak of zombies that could survive a 12 gauge blast to the head not even Wal-Mart could save me

**Frazzled**

Yes all important folklore states that - like vampires-take the head off and the problem is solved. So its good to have a proper shotgun for both Zombies and vampires. You can't be too careful

**Greebynog**

I can imagine how that conversation would go in South London:

Police: Why have you got that shotgun?
Me: Zombies.
Police: You're nicked.

**Ghost in the Darkness**

I have been recruited into my buddy's hideout as resident chef. And on the way I am raiding my gun cabinet and the hunting store down the road and filling my car up with guns, ammo and knives (big ones) and heading to my friends. Then following along.

Or if It was just me and my family. At the first signs "civil unrest" stock up of food, a generator and generator fuel. Barracade all the windows in my house with steel. And make my family always be armed with a machete, 12 gauge and plenty of BBB shells. (for those who don't know BBB is 1 step down from a solid deer slug, the pellets are freaking huge and will take out most anything)

**Orkeosaurus**

Honestly, I would probably die really quickly.

Trying to do something totally bad ass.

Or maybe just huddled in a corner crying as zombies surround me. Either way.

Already have this planned out.

Myself and several close friends and there families will load up all of our pre packed gear (Food, Water, Tp Ammunition and more guns then a NRA convention) and drive an hour North West of here to a working Nike Silo Museum and take it over, by force if need be. Then seal ourselfs inside and wait the whole thing out.

**HoverBoy**

Me and mi friend plan to steal a truck an fill it with guns food and relatives, then use it to go to the nearest hidroelectric dam its only acsesible on the river banks which are easy to defend, and we can send out "foraging parties" with the truck to get food, fuel and ammo.
Rigging the projectors to flash will also allow us to confuse zombies and hopefully deal even with the Fast/Strong ones sucsessfully (i have electrotehnical ejucation).

**Lord Bingo**

I would get some cool sunglasses and a shotgun. Walk out into the streets to deal with the zombies then get my intestines ripped out 2 minutes later.

**Imperial**

Well Is sorta planed I live in a 2 storey house so barricade the first floor make a huge trench guns and automated turrents everywhere and go to a armybase and steal a tank and shove it in my garage while I stock up on everything from water to comic books. If I see the coast is clear I bring a train over and make it another part of my house until I have a huge fortress of trains, tanks, cars and other pieces of metal welded, burnt thrown and made sure it is at least 10 feet thick the entire barrier. I then hijack a helicopter for reasons that is obvious. If I wipe out all the undead near by I will go to my near by hobby centre and loot all the warhammer and other minis mostly heroclix to keep me from killin myself. Oh and if the zombies break through I will have a bomb straped on me and I'll go and say hipekayyay motherf.. or you just got pwned

**Orkeosaurus**

I'm pretty sure everyone on this thread could totally kill thousands of zombies.

**Imperial**

HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH that is the best pic I have seen today

**jp400**

must be a POG. God Dam fobbits

**Kilkrazy**

Has no-one watched Braindead?

Gardening centre. 2-Stroke rotary mower. Several jerry cans of petrol.

Sorted!

**Waaagh_Gonads**

If they are slow, walking zombies then I'm just going to jog slowly around Brisbane, staying in the centre of streets.
I may even break out the pushbike on hot days.

Biggest problem would be a loss of power when the power stations go down (even if because the coal isn't being delivered anymore).

A couple of generators would need a fair amt of fuel and you'd be ranging pretty far to get it after a few months.

**Septic**

I would ensure the most attractive male and female knew my name, but I was not a love interest and I would not take part in much decision making. Be the faceless guy who survives despite all the survival experts dying.
Oh, and never be the hero with the big weapon, they'll just leave you to buy them time as soon as you suffer a minor injury.

**Anung Un Rama**

hmm...well, I do live in a rather crowded area on Freiburgs inner city, let me think about that for a moment....

1. I'll probably try to contact my best friend who only lives 5 minutes from my place.

2.Then I'll take 2 decorative weapons from the wall. The Katana and the big spikey fantasy sword are not sharp, but Zombies are soft, it would work for some time, until...

3. Me and my buddy get to the 2 weapons stores only 5 minutes from my house to a) sharpen the close combat weapons and b) get some guns.

4. I think my current residence would work quite well in a Zombie outbreak since I live on the 4th floor of a large building.

5. Altough my family has of course that nice house up in the black forest, which might even work better for surviving an outbreak.

No matter what, I just want to use my Katana

"On average online gamers are more physically fit than average Americans, working out twice a week" That's another New scientist fact, now I know we aren't online gamers however we fit into a similiar bracket. (Then again judging by the average player of runescape or WoW It could be the exercise twice a week is double P.E!)
