What Would you do if there was a Zombie Apocalypse?

Started by Robtard19 pages

Guns are the ideal weapons, obviously, but the reliance on ammo makes them shit in a prolonged/swarm attack.

Best to master a small agile weapon that can 'brain' in one hit, eg machete. Relying only on guns in cases of emergency or pending doom.

Maybe they are John Woo zombies, and we'd never have to reload.

If they were John Woo zombies, then they'd attack us while flying at a side angle.

If I had a choice in only having one gun, I'd go with a .22 rifle that had the stock sawed off or a pistol grip and extra capacity clip. Small/light ammo means I could carry hundreds of rounds, there's little or no kick so I could fire rapidly and accurately each time.

Unfortunately I was raised around hunting, I was taught at an early age how to shoot and maintain firearms, as well how to gut and clean a deer, even how to cook it over a fire. So I guess we'd do OK together? haermm

sick, although, I'm not sure what it is that I bring to this team-up. Maybe my blood anxiety disorder?

Small light ammo isn't usually effective against zombies unless you fire a ton of it.

A .22 to the head will kill a person, no reason to believe it wouldn't destroy a zombie brain.

are .22s the ones that aren't powerful enough for an exit wound? ie, the bullet ricochets off the inside of the skull a number of times?

Yeah, they're one of the smallest (if not the) rounds. Still will drop you dead if shot in the head.

lol, I always thought those were really gruesome. maybe no brain spray, but pretty terrible none-the-less

If it were spur of the moment, like I look outside and there are zombies everywhere, I am pretty safe at home. I live in a metal building that has huge ass metal doors that are lockable form the inside, plus I can weld them shut if need be, or use heavy ass chains. Also, the property is fenced in and barbwired.

HA! I ALWAYS THOUGHT you lived in a jail..........

Thanks for the confirmation lolz 😮‍💨

I'd definitely have twin Uzis and one 12 bore sawn off for close range, but live with my food stash on an oil rig.
Also a nice razor sharp Samurai sword too.

Good luck to those zombie f**ks finding that.

Also: For good measure there will be a semi-permanent oil fire moat available and machine gun turrents around at 9 intervals around the perimeter.

Just me, the hum of the generators as they power the hydroponics and the XBox running GTA IV endlessly biding time between careful deliveries of Pepsi and doughnuts, and Cigarettes.

Oil Rig is good, as Zombies can't climb ladders.

You figure you can reliably head shot zombies at a distance?

From a decent distance, yes. Add a cheap scope, the chances and distance goes up higher.

Spraying zombies with an M16 (or equilvent) or twin .45s won't get you anywhere but swarmed.

Zombies take it slow and easy, so should you.

Makes sense, I'd still prefer a shotgun to start with.

A very good weapon, as it requires little aim to blow a zombies head off, though the reload is slow and the ammo is large and heavy, comparably speaking.

Then you guys can all come to the rig.

But its "bring-a-bottle'.....ok....? 😛

(They make great molotov cocktails, if anything)

.22 hollowpoint is a really good choice, actually. Very accurate, like you said, and little kick. Again, as you said. Not sure how good it is on penetration though.

I would go slap Romero for inspiring corpses to feast on living flesh. After that I would take all the guns out of a gun store, put them all in a military jeep I found, head to the docks (and hope a yacht is there), put the guns in a boat and drive off to travel the seven seas. I won't be like those idiots on Dawn of the Dead and drop by near an island I don't know crap about.

Side questiom: In the zombie movie where they were in the mall, and then made the dash for the boat, what were their biggest mistakes?
