How I'd survive a zombie apocalypse .

Most of the major zombie inner-genres don't deal with magical/occult zombies, it's either unexplained, or usually hinted at some sort of viral, bacterial or parasitic infection.

Agreed though, an infected human who's still alive is far more plausible than a virus that reanimates a dead body.

But if we're using the 28 Day Later fiends, then that changes the game all together. Those fools have more intelligence, can run outright at full speed and contamination from them is much easier.

The heavier guns mentione before, AK-47s, tactical shotguns etc. make far more sense, as you don't have to go for a head-shot to take one down and taking your time to aim probably won't be an option.

That's the "old-school" zombies that started with Night of the Living Dead...Most of the modern stuff is the infected because "magical zombies" just don't sit that well with adults.

...or in the case of South Park, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce. 😄

They were not very intelligent, at all. But, IMO, they represented what a "real" zombie would be like, the most, to me.

They would breath, have a heart-beat, be able to run, and have very little thinking ability. Quarantine and a radical form of rabies actually does represent the closest thing around to a real zombie outbreak. If someone modified rabies to have an incubation of a couple of hours and the full-on "lose the mind and attack everything in site" aspect kicked in after 4 hours...then we really would have our zombie outbreak if someone released the virus onto enough people. Mortality rate is almost completely 100% without drugs and the only lady, I know of, that survived was basically a vegetable the rest of her life.

Pretty sure Romero hinted at a virus, though from outer-space. Been a long time since I've seen the original NOTLD. You can actually watch it for free online legally, something to do with a copy-write loophole or some shit.

The 'pink eye' episode?

The black zombie that was chained up was smart enough to turn a door handle, that's smarter than the typical undead zombies we see. Funny thing though, in the remake of Land of the Dead, the one smart zombie was black too. Hmmm.

Surviving a zombie apocalypse shouldn't be too hard for anyone who lives on a coastal city. 😬

Hop on a boat; I'd try to steal one of those ferries at Fishermen's Warf, and just chill off the coast line. Only go to land for food and water. gg.

You and a few hundred-thousand other people would be going for those boats.

Not when I'm going for them they won't. I've seen enough zombie fiction to know an ensuing apocalypse when I see one, and a life time of being black has made me cowardly and pragmatic. I'd be hittin' those boats while the idiot gays and whites in San Francisco are panicking and trying to gather enough food for their chihuahuas and poodles, and calling 311 demanding to know why all the homeless people are eating each other.

If not, though, the alternative would be to hole up in the building I work at: http://www.aviewoncities.com/img/sf/kveus4418b.jpg

The way it works is that it has 6 elevators that go to floors 1-19, and 6 that go to floors 20-34; but, the elevators don't have "buttons" that let you choose which floor to go to, they have a card reader that you flash your card on, and then an elevator will open and take you to the the floor you're authorized to be on. You can't use the elevators to go to just any floor unless you have either a full access card or a masterkey, which are things that only the security team and building owners can get. Aside from that, there's no way to get to any of the floors sans the lobby.

In the case of a ZA I could meet up with my partner, who's a zombiephile and keeps shotguns and "go-packs" stashed in his room because he's convinced the world is going to end in the next ten years, and we can hole up on... I'd say the second floor. If we wanted to be real cold hearted bastards we could also use our keys to shut down the entire elevator system, meaning that everyone who doesn't have a master key would just be ****ed. I'd probably end up doing that.

gg. 313

Hahahaahaaha, you're almost way to witty for your age.

One thing to consider, being black, if you went to steal a boat (or anything for that matter) before the shit hit the fan and anarchy was about, you'd get locked up in county, don't think the cops wouldn't be too busy during an early ZA to take the time to jail a black-kid. Then you'd be ****ed.

Can't rely on the power (or water) staying on. Though I'm sure there's stairs with locking doors. So It seem like a good building if you're taking the 'holing-in' path to survival.

Going to jail would be the worst thing to happen. Like, that would be game over. So maybe stealing the boat wouldn't be a good idea.

As for the building, yeah, real lucky in that regard.

If you can get your family into San Francisco I'll let you guys chill on the 34th floor. There's three vending machines up there that don't require money.

THX, but It'd be way too dangerous. Traveling distances with small children during a ZA is bad enough, but doing it over an almost 2-mile bridge, is asking for death.

Bandits, desperate folk, bridge zombies etc., with only two options of moving forward or back, no thanks. Though the bridge would likely be taken out by the military first.

Really?

So which old zombie flick am I thinking of where they were "conjured" with evil magic?

I'd expect the Rabies virus to be the best candidate..but it would have to be modified significantly. Some people would do the whole zombie thing...some would be ultra aggressive, some would just wallow in their putrescence and rock back and forth until dehydration/asphyxiation. I say this because some would still have "moments" of intelligence as they went in and out of disgusting insanity.

Probably a shit load of 70's and early 80's flicks where it's a magical zombie. Zombie 2 (aka Zombie, aka Zombie Island) is one of them. It's the Italian zombie-horror where a zombie fights a shark, pure epicness.

Rabie virus was done in a remake a couple years ago, forget the name; it takes place in an apartment complex and has Dexter's sister (the show Dexter)as the lead.

Quarantine. And I mentioned to you, here:

Despite it being out of place and doesn't really make sense to interpret it to mean the the state of isolation, the meaning was masked as the first word of the sentence

The probably of something similar to that existing and being on 'ice' in some military-type lab isn't zero.

Prolly, which is scary as ****.

People don't think about it as being a possible "germ-warfare", but with a near perfect death-rate (and a pure perfect death-rate without medical attention AFTER it passes the point of no-return), it's a pretty good option for destroying almost all of humanity.

There are probably those that are immune, naturally, but that number would probably number in the hundreds or thousands out of almost 7 billion. On top of that, I have searched and searched and I do not find another virus that has as high of a mortality rate as Rabies does: virtually 100% without treatment. Whereas, the others, are close to 85-90%.

I certainly did not. Lemme refresh your shitty (the liquid, corn and nut filled, spicy, kind) memory:

Please tell me how this: "Me, personally? I won't need instruction."

Is the same as "I have fired every single gun, ever."

Especially when I said the following:

Boy, context sure is enlightening. dur

Since I know you won't get what I'm trying to illustrate (either on purpose or on accident, but I'm leaning towards the former 😠 ), I am saying that regardless of the gun I haven't fired or handled before, it would probably take me less than a minute to figure everything out. Something I also indicated in our conversation that you seemingly remember incorrectly. 😉

Yes, cause it is so incredibly difficult when teenagers (18 and 19) with IQs that are in the "mentally retarded" level had done it for decades, right? 😉

Also, this ------> estahuh

In a holster that fits most glocks. dur

I believe you're under the assumption that the modified Glock 18 in the video is the same glock 18 that I will be using: not the case. That fat, out of shape, bastard, ADDED the buttstock and buttplate because he wanted to be able to fire 200 rounds, at once, at a target that was 20-50 yards out, and hit with most of the shots. Since I'm not an idiot, very rarely would I be firing in more than 3-4 shot spurts...like any moron that knows how to fire an automatic would do. I'm also not a weak fat bastard like the dude in the video: no buttstock/buttplate combo needed. WEEEEEEE!

And you can........put a GLOCK in a handgun holster.... WEEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHHEEEEEEE!

Your dick is so long you can buttrape yourself? Also, that's not really rape: that's a lonely homo's version of sex. WEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEE! PWNED right in the MOUTH!

That's my point, exactly. facepalm

At no point did I say it was a pistol: I only pointed out that your reasons for using a 12-gauge were better suited for a revolver grenade launcher.

Or maybe it would.

Personally, I'd carry a pistol grip semi auto shotgun, sawed off right at the end of the pump, just in case I have like 4 or 5 zombies in my face. Load them up with buckshot and quarters (RE Afterlife style), and they'll be vaporized with a few shots. It'd be a backup weapon of course.

I think it would be hillarious spraying it into zombies' mouths & the stuff hardening up so they can't bite back.

😆 BEST IDEA EVER !!!

Glock with a 200 round clip:

YouTube video

Lookit the size of that clip, how's it gonna fit in a holster? Shit's the size of a laptop. Not really feasible to carry around.

The best body armor a guy can ask for against zombies:

YouTube video

So yeah. The chain mail shark suit pwns. Wear a pair of fatigue pants, combat boots and a utility vest, you're protected head to toe.

Now, for weaponry, gotta keep it lightweight:

Main weapon: H&K MP-5.
Sidearm: Beretta 92 F.

The utility vest will hold a shitload of ammo, and you could always store more on your belt. All these assault rifles listed are good to have and all, but the MP-5 is lightweight.

Why would I holster a gun with a clip that runs mostly perpendicular to the form of the gun?

Why would I not do the obvious: remove the clip first?

This is the part that I refused to tell you that I thought you would eventually get because I knew exactly what you were going for, but saw it as a massive oversight on your part.

I also did not tell you because you would come up with some lame thinking like this: "Why would you holster and carry around a gun that does not have ammo?"

Why would you holster the gun without putting a real clip on it, first, and setting the safety? The magazine could easily fit somewhere else, as could the standard 10-12 round magazine or the usual (for the auto-glock 18) 33-round magazine. I would keep the 4 spare 200 round magazines somewhere else or even on my person. I would probably store all four in my hiking backpack. I would carry one 33 round magazine in the gun and one on my hip.

Also, here is the body armor I would use:
