Not a problem. Plus I don't even like all my neighbors.

Also add the Scottish Highlands to the safe places list. We have the terrain to never be found, and lots of nasty places to lure zombies into or off.

Why am I envisioning lots of fat Scots dressing up like Rob Roy and leading thousands of English in a merry game to Loch Ness, where they are eaten by Nessie. UNless Nessie is a zombie too OH GOD NO NOT THE OLD GIRL!!!

Nessy is the forward deployed observer of the only other intelligent species in the galaxy. There's one in Brazil too I think.

i would trip the nearest few people, and run, thus completing my escape

Failing that, a good bashing on the swad with a baseball bat to the tune of "dont stop me now" a lá shawn of the dead should be a good starter for ten....

And Lake Champlain.

They use drones shaped like giant hairy humans and goat sucking dog demons for land surveillance.


Chupacabra!!!

Well I live on a farm, so it would be a hand full of stumblers! Plus if I was surrounded I would want a some full steel body armor or better, and just use a sword and shield and kill the zombies. Weak muscles also means they can't bite effectively, and there arms would be weak. It would be a slaughter against someone in full armor.

Plus you could have a blast pretending to be Space Marine.

Ok well you make a valid point as far as where you live, I was thinking more where I live. But your still looking/thinking this whole thing very wrong. Full steel armor and a shield/sword?
Do me a favor, put a 50-75 pound bag of dog food or animal feed bag on your shoulders in a way that it wont fall off, then take a baseball bat and swing it nice and hard, like sword, and do that for 5 minutes strait, while continuously moving, jogging, sprinting.



Id rather hold up in my house, keep to my current plan, and stay far away from shamblers for at least the first month, before going out and starting phase 2 of my plan

This is a good plan. We obviously couldnt work together, because we are of the same mind though

I have a last stand playlist on my iPod for just this occasion!

Is there any official word on if .308 bullets actually stop zombies? Can zombies be stopped by bullets at all? Because I'm seriously reconsidering my idea of using an AR-15, and thinking about something bigger.... Like an m60, lol

Its been pretty universal that bullets to the brain stop zombies cold......er....you get it

Infact last time, there was a group of us, that agreed with Fraz that a .22 would be perfect for romero zombies

Make my self a revered hero, then kill myself, then get a tech priest kit me out in a dreadnaut. No need to eat or sleep!

Zombies are WAY more believable then warhammer guys, jeez


*added the bold, its necessary

Guess I'll invest in a machine gun then. Something seems incredibly satisfying in mowing down an endless horde or undead nasties with a machine gun.

and make sure its .22 cal!

I'd die horribly, along with pretty much every other person in the US...either to the zombies or to the massive clouds of radiation that spew out of the 100+ nuclear reactors here that melt down after being abandoned.

Now your thinking to much about it. Shessh, we wont die from radiation either, best case scenario, you become Superman

Simply destroy the stairs in my house after filling the bath with water,and move any supplies which will last upstairs, along with my weapons and sundry other important items, and wait for stuff to calm down - moving around in z-day chaos is unwise to say the least.

How do you know whats going to happen in 40,000 years, bro?

Thats easy, I read a book about Nostradamus

I thought .22 caliber was too small to kill a zombie?

Depends were it hits.... its not how big it is its what you do with it

If this was a zombie apocalypse, I'd think I would devour my clone before the zombies get to him.

I will throw my snowball of oblivion at them.


(there is a 1% chance that you will get it)

bombboy1252 wrote:I thought .22 caliber was too small to kill a zombie?

.22 Cal is capable of killing a living person. Many mob hitmen actually used silenced .22 because of 2 reason. 1. silenced .22s are INCREDIBLY quite. 2. The round is strong enough to enter the brain cavity, but not likely to pop out, so the bullet just kindda...bounces around inside your head a bit before stopping. Pretty potent if your close enough to get it in there.

Thought i would put this up here.

Dig up the last, or before that ones, zombie thread, where a group of us, including the Zmaster FITZZ discredited pretty much everything that site has

Corrected your typo.

Well thats even better then. 4x laser vision? 4x Xray nude shots? Cmon, that cant be bad

KingCracker wrote:Well thats even better then. 4x laser vision? 4x Xray nude shots? Cmon, that cant be bad

Exactly. PLus the benefits of quadrillateral vision are really underestimated.

I think the best weapon would be a crossbow, actually.
Its silent, so it won't attract zombies. And the ammo is reusable, so you could potentially never run out of shots.
And if its a chu ko nu (repeating crossbow), you could potentially mow down hordes quickly and silently.

I like where you are going, but me and my shambling buddies would fear a compound bow the most. A crossbow needs to be reloaded, and gunfire is a dinner bell.

Now, silenced .22 may be the ultimate weapon. Machete for backup, too.

Anyone else excited for The Walking Dead starting up again? Darryl from tv series and the female warrior from the comic are my two faves, so this does greatly influence my opinion on anti-zombie weaponry.

I am excited.

I am a proponent of .22LR of course. Not particularly loud even unsuppressed and plenty good for shambling zombies.
