Besides, even if they get on top, you can lock yourself in there. And unless their is a super zombie that can punch through steel, I think he would be pretty safe.

dont zombies usally carry weapons though?


Quote from funkmu1
Hi everyone! Anyone here read the book World War Z, Zombie Survival guide or seen any zombie movies? Then how would you handle a zombie invasion?

Here is the generic zombie:
1. unfatigueable, they just keep on going and going
2. strength in numbers, there are millions of these guys
3. they can only be stopped by a headshot or decapitation
4. feel no pain, will keep moving unless head is incapacitated
5. mindless, have no intellegence, follow base instinct
6. powers and such are limited by their body, essentially if they're shot in the leg or have body parts worn or torn, they will not be able to move as well
7. can survive in any climate that doesnt destroy human flesh (they're just reanimated dead people, not vampires)
8. their bite will turn u into a zombie regardless
9. cannot reanimate already dead people.


So if you were faced by a horde of zombies, how would you take em out? or survive.


Not in this thread they dont

@ rockstar
So you would rather run around with a pointy thing or a small arm and take your chances of not getting bit? Rather than being behind 3 inches of the toughest armor in the world, basically in an impenetrable barrier?

Goodluck and Godspeed. Once you turn xombie (the pornofreak version) i will be sure to run you over in my tank. smile wink grin

After pouring over ten pages of zombie killing fun i have discovered that your weapon of choice is a baseball bat. Good luck with that.

And no you can't ride in my tank.

If they're outside and a distance away then the sniper rifle takes the cake. If I'm indoors or they're at a medium distance from me I'd fall back on the shotgun.

Assault rifles would probably use ammo way too fast... one-shot-one-kill rifles and shotguns would be extremely efficient.

Even if you think you can slaughter a zombie in melee there's no sense getting that close to an infection. What if a bit of their flesh splatters in your eye?

I'd keep a sword with me only as a last resort. I'd try to run before ever engaging in melee. The sword would be more of an "Oh shit I'm out of ammo and I let myself get cornered somehow" weapon.

i wear glasses biggrin, but you have a point. To avoid infection due to contact with zombie flesh it would be problematic to cover your entire body and use a helmet (melee with heavy clothing=sauna, helmet=limited range of vision).
So hit and run is a good tactic, too bad ammo is limited (carry an armory in a truck would be sweet)

I think i mentioned a tank a few pages ago......

Anyway, there is an army base relatively near, so assuming that the world is in in disarray and there are not soldiers at the base, i could go take one of those.

Of course, in a world where zombies exist, why wouldn't there be a tank located conveniently down the street?

I'd definitely try to find a semi-auto rifle and a machete. Realistically, however, I don't know where I'd find the rifle, so I'd probably have to just use the machete.

Do realise that a melee weapon is sort of useless when you get attacked by 20 zombies at time. You hit once, the weapon is stuck... 19 to go.
I personally wouldn't get too near to those zombies.
After all, they are specialised in unarmed combat. biggrin


xD 'unarmed' combat kekeke~

Crowbars aren't fun; baseball bats, though, ARE.

But you'd still get tired. no

I vote bazookas; things that go boom are VERY fun eyes

Me, I'd just round up as much people as I can, raid the stores/nearest army base and barricade ourselves in somewhere.

Or travel to an isolated island and kill off all the zombies there [if there are any] and laugh at the zombies trying to get to us by walking straight into the water. cool
