Zombies!

[PeteAtoms]

I think I'm athletic enough to power walk out of any zombies grasp when the time comes.

If we're talkin' 28 Days Later zombies, I think I'm screwed.

 

[FriendlyFire]

Got me a trusty crowbar.
Apart from that the chances are rather low given I live less then 1km from a major cemetry. But our house is well built so I might survive for a short while.

 

[GenMarshall]

Just need a crowbar in hand and a M1911 on the side and a Remington shotgun on my back to traverse the wasteland.

I wouldn't prefer melee weapons for this. Guns are easier to use too.

What are you gonna do when you run out of bullets n shells?

I'll go to Texas. There's enough ammo there to kill every Zombie in China.

 

[Nick Carpathia]

By some amazing coincidence, my zombie survival plan is identical to my RaHoWa plan! Who wudda thunk?

 

[FriendlyFire]

Guns make a lot of noise though but having fire power would be useful against other more lawless human survivors. Generally you have 2-4 wks for food stocked up in your house so hunkering down for the inital outbreak would work for me. Brick house with steel bars on windows, second story as final defence position.

A nice selection of martial arts weapons on hand plus one can always make spears to take on zombies at range.

Water then food is going to be the biggest long term problems.
I'd imagine once you loot everything in the area then you have to move.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Guns, while simplistic, are overrated. The arrow is what one should want. It is silent and with practice, easily used. Guns attract attention, from zombie and human alike. And in these situations, it is your fellow man, not zombies, you should be afraid of. Zombies are but a mild inconvenience.

That said, we'd just wing it. All the emergency services, gun stores, Wal-Marts would be mobbed, so for the first few days, we'd just stay put. Not sure what we'd do though if someone tried to loot us.

We couldn't stay here though; it's a desert. We'd have to get to Lake Mead and the Colorado river at least. And with the clutter on the roads, that's not a fun journey.

But, this is why learning how to use a bicycle is useful.

Find a good fort, strengthen it, kill em as they come, harvest food as needed.

 

[Singularity]

Rigor mortis will make any potential Zombies pathetically slow, I'll be sure to tip one onto it's back for giggles and laughs if I see one.

 

[Gamemaster77]

Zombies are not dead, just altered living humans, most probably infected with some sort of zombie virus.

 

[CaptainF]

I know plenty of gun nutters out here, if zombies come it'll be extra target practice.

Mr. Freeman has taken down zombies many a time with a crowbar.

 

[choxorn]

I'm not preparing for the impending zombie Apocalypse; I'm preparing the impending zombie Apocalypse.

I'm with this guy. Soon you will all tremble before the might of our unstoppable zombie horde!

Wimp. I'd keep my trusty battle axe handy.

 

[Colonel]

I don't really think a battle axe of that sort is going to help you. I would much rather have a trusty combat axe and a machete. These of course are the ultimate back up weapon as I would be using some sort of gun in a zombie filled environment. First use the shotgun then after the ammo on that one is out use an assault rifle. This would of course be followed by a pistol or two then onto the machete with the combat axe as a backup.

 

[FriendlyFire]

If infection is transmitted by blood then Hand weapons of any kind is risky. Not to mention having to wear a breathing mask and eye protection of some kind would impact on being able to fight. I hate to die due to having blood splatter enter my nose / mouth / eye.

Crowbar since it doubles as a tool, I also have full length swords which might not be ideal since blades are designed for slicing. it would take far to much energy to decapitate zombies. Never really thought about it much I wonder if slashing of the sword is enough to penetrate a human skull?

Maybe a mace of some kind would be more ideal as a primary weapon. Easily crush skulls without to much energy

If its like The Horde zombies or 28 days later, were pretty much dont have much of a chance other then to bunker down.
The infection will spread way to fast and fighting it out even with firearms and plenty of amo would be really tough

 

[Monsterzuma]

if you can not beat them, join them.

 

[Wolfbeckett]

if you can not beat them, join them.

Well, yes, zombies are sort of the living (err, unliving?) personification of that adage.

Bring 'em on.

(Actually, I'll be trying to make my way to the nearest port city in order to get underway until the zombie hordes peter out...)
