Zombie Preparation

[nonconformist]

I saw it in a film?

EDIT: In Zodiac, it is mentioned that footprints were collected corresponding to "wing walking" boots used by aircrew, and that only someone with miltiary ID could have purchased it at a military exchange.

 

[Onionsoilder]

You stole my axe idea, and my offshore idea. I said them first, they're MINE!

Okay, fine. I'll use a Halberd instead, and my base will be a castle in the sky.

Never heard of it. Probably referring to on-base military stores. I remember there used to be a surplus store near my house when I was a kid where I'd buy all kinds of deactivated hand grenades and steel helmets for just a few dollars a piece.

Anyway

My 68 year old Soviet M1891/30 with bayonet attached. Excellent for defending strategic compromised breeches and doorways against zombies and other varieties of bipedal threats.

For back-up my Spanish Star BM 9mm.

My primary personal weapons would be my auto-loaders.
From top to bottom. PC-9 with ghost ring, 27-round magazine plus 4x15-round magazines. M70AB2 optional bayonet, with 4x30 round magazines plus 1x40 round magazine. NOTE: Primary personal weapon for conducting Anti-Zombie Combat Patrols (AZCP) And for +8 cool points a Colt 1851 .44 caliber revolver.

Plus a bunch of other guns that I can lend to any unarmed non-infected I come across while on Zombie Emergency Armed Search and Rescue Patrols (ZEASRP).

Currently in the need for a good tactical shotgun, maybe a Saiga-12 to step up my anti-zombie combat capabilities.

Oh and partner-in-crime:

This guy

Partner In Crime (er.. zombie killing): My roommate, he won't go down without a good fight and is a lot stronger than I am. Also my uncle, since he has his own sailboat and has been sailing for decades. Anyone else I like who is not infected is welcome.

Location: Coastal British Columbia, Canada

Hmm, one reason I was avoiding this thread was that it didn't seem many folks were really engaging in much discussion/feedback. Though some answers are similar of course, I will say the "boat/yacht" idea is of course good.

Anyway, ICBM gets points for consistency, but also gets utterly wrecked when his platforms are taken over by the Zerg for vespene. If you're going to go outside of scenarios based on modern day Earth, you better be prepared to also deal with other threats

Edit: Also, I remember missing out on the "theme song" thread here sometime ago and didn't want to necro, but responses to that item in this thread have likewise been good - and I've had Mountain King rattling around for a while.

That's why a moat would be preferrable. Unless they figure out that enough dead zombies in the moat can fill it in and they start sacrificing themselves for the greater good feast.

Try and sail close to shore like that.

EDIT: I'm changing my companion to Undead Karl Marx, not only does he look awesome green, he can distract the Zombies with an exposition on Marxist dialectics.

I'd preferable be in the Pacific well over 1000km from land, why does one need to sail close to land?

 

[Maniacal]

Supplies, fuel, maintenance and repairs.

 

[Masada]

Water would be my primary concern.
