Zombie Survival- What would your equipment be?

[Onacara]

You know you wouldn't have to worry about zombies if you refrained from necromancy.

Aaaand, that's a new sig. If we all followed this advice, the world would be a much better place.

[RabSheila]

Equipment? Who needs equipment? Who do you think is responsible for this Zombie plague? (evil maniacal laughter)

[Bonecrusher]

Only weapon would be a Queglix gun. It always seems to take care of the zombies. ;)

[braveheart101]

weapons:
Minigun
grenades
Double Machetes

Gear:
Backpack
first aid kit
Tons of other junk I am too lazy to type.

Mount:
Dragon with black spiky armor and a orc wielded machine gun turret on the back ;)

On their website it's listed under "Novelty Items."

[Oh Yeah! I'm Here]

I would want:

An axe

A handgun with ammo

Ammo

Magazines for my spare time

Water, and MREs (That way I'll have toilet paper, just in case the food runs out.)

To stumble upon a couple living marines with a huge weapon depot and plenty of ammo.

But you must realize that a rifle has a much longer range and is more accurate at said range. I'd rather get the head shot at 250 yards.

You're out of your mind. It's a hell of a lot harder to crack someone in the dome than you think, especially with a short-sight handgun which may or may not be very accurate. A rifle is inherently more accurate, less prone to misloads (especially if it's not an AR-15) and is without a doubt a better weapon. Handguns are the weapon of last resort - the proof is that the US (really, every military in the world) does not issue handguns to their troops, they issue battle rifles.

A 9mm will cut a bleeding hole in someone but depending on where you pop 'em they may still have fight left in 'em. A rifle will knock them dead. Furthermore, most handguns have limited ammunition in their magazines compared to...let's say...my AK-47 which has a 75-round drum on it, can shoot through trees and light walls whereas my best handgun, a FiveSeven has 20 rounds of ammunition in it, which is as much as you're going to get in a handgun without one of those glock or 1911 race-gun mags that hold 30 but make the gun really unwieldy.

Go back to playing World At War or Halo, let the real gun talk sit with the people that are proficient in weapons or those who entered military service.

If you're the one shooting? Yeah, then I'd feel pretty good about my chances.

But do you honestly think a handgun is more powerful than a rifle? Are you out of your mind? Onacara's right. If there's people like you to act as my bait, I'm never going to need a gun.

You know what, this is a fairly interesting thread for those of us who like to pretend that this might happen. Would you prefer that someone went and made a new thread a bout this because they liked the topic? Really, just stop talking and let the thread be. Sheesh.

WARNING: I am not a weapons expert, nor have I ever held a real gun.

The thing about a hand gun when it comes to anti-zombie survival is that it can still be usefull, but is not the weapon of choice. If you've got one when the zombies take over, grab it and head out along with your rifle or shot gun or whatever else. If you run out of other ammo but there are still zombies near by, bust out the 9mm and take some shots. Here's the progression: Main rifle/shotgun->explosives->pistol->Sword/bat/machete->dead. It would be useful to have, but it wouldn't be the only thing I'd bring in an emergency.

Do you really think you can hit a sporadically moving zombie in the head with a 9 mm? The thing is, even if your aim is spot-on, which it probably isn't, handguns are a lot less accurate in and of themselves. Your best bet is a shotgun, which may not go EXACTLY where you want it to, but it's still going to do severe damage to anything you point it at. The only disadvantage is the reload time which would be a little more than replacing a clip, except for my bolt-action 16 gauge which actually had a clip. I swear it is a shotgun, not a rifle.

[The Walrus King]

Can we just stop arguing the logic behind all this? If someone wants to bring along a pistol to the Zombie Apocalypse, then it's their' decision. Who cares if you can't hit a sporadically moving zombie in the head with a 9 mm?
He's just voicing his' own opinion, and doesn't need to be chewed out just 'cuz what he wants to bring is the "insensible" choice. He's just stating his opinion! For all you know these zombies could be more susceptible to pebbles than to guns!



With that off my chest...

1° Weapon- An assault rifle (something top secret the US is prototyping) [laser scope, silencer]
2° Weapon- A super sexy futuristic rocket launcher
[the multi-kill-rockets attachment, ergonomic design]

1° Melee- Super sexy Badass massive 2h sword
[N/A, N/A]
2° Melee- H3 Gravity Hammer ;)
[unlimited battery, N/A]

Backpack-
pebbles :D

some portable super PDA gizmo
communication device to fellow zombie resistance buddies
some of that scent cover-up stuff hunters use
Off! (anti-zombie edition)
a portable impenetrable energy field machine (think Bubble Shield on crack :))
portable Gravity Lift
some flares
night vision goggles
combat mask with rebreathers
my trusty Swiss Army knife
food
LOTS of water
salt (if zombies were taken over by evil snails and slugs)Transportation-
Custom Combat Hummer w/ ground system, spiked tires, ammo rack, minigun, oversized lots-of-horsepower engine, bladed edges, tracking equipment, and hop thrusters... Oh and the bangin' sound system :)

[Oh Yeah! I'm Here]

Hey, sporadically moving zombie, with a rifle? I don't think you can do that either. The shotgun is a good choice. But I still think, for sizes sake, the handgun would be the best choice, and reloading isn't an issue. Anything close range and I have to reload, I can break out the axe, and I have a pretty good axe arm.(Chopping wood as a boyscout, eh?) I don't believe that the handgun is an insensible choice, and besides, what would be easier to find in gun tight states, a handgun, or a rifle?;)

A hunting shotgun. Really, if somewhere won't let you hunt, it's probably not going to let you get a gun that is only useful against other people.

[Onacara]

I would take a 9mm along with EP and OYIH and then use the 9mm to shoot them in the leg so I can get a head start :wink:

[Ty the Awasome]

A rifle. How many people actually hunt using a handgun? Which do you think most gun stores are going to carry more of? Handguns or rifles?

All of the reasons you've stated are the reasons that cops carry pistols instead of rifles. But the cops don't want to have to use their guns. That's just a last resort. And when they do pull out their firepower and unload, they don't generally kill too many people. That's the reason cops use the 9 mm pistol. It wounds, but it doesn't kill very often.

That and the bullet would merely melt since it is not plasma or a beam like blasters and then you would have hot magma flying at your face. Huh? Did you ever think about that?

[GreenLanturn]

Guns:
1. Shotgun
2. More ammo for the shotgun

Melee:
1. Roman Style Body Bunker shield
2. Short Sword (works best when using a shield)

Supplies:
1. Moderately sized flag that says "Alive" in clear writing, it will be up at all times.
2. Food?
3. Knife

Transportation (by preference):
1. Cruise Ship (with a small survival party, basically crew enough to steer)
2. A boat that can be lived on for a couple days at a time.
3. Armored RV type thing.
4. Motorcycle (Fast, needs least fuel)
5. Bullet to the beyond

If we are allowed armor, all I'd really need is some light stuff that covers everywhere. Nothing needs to be heavy duty, zombies don't use guns or other weapons. I'd also accept an Ironman suit.

Transportation: A war machine from some zombie movie I saw with machine gun turrets, places to stick chainsaws out the sides. bulletproof glass. Fully armored with sharpend spikes and blades placed at various locations.

since I am becoming a good videogame programmer, so I should make a videogame out of this.(I DO know that they made alot of videogames based on fighting zombies, but I want to make my own.) I can even make it so the backpack can only hold so much weight at a time unless you upgrade your backpack. Give me your input.

[SuperflyTNT]

And let's not forget these facts:

1. This is not a chilren's site, so he wouldn't even be here to support it.
2. His financial empire is in ruins, so he couldn't drop the 15$ for it anyhow.
3. If the site was Zero Escape and hosted in the UAE, he might have shown up for help with escaping the US and prosecution.
4. Although he is made up of 50% or more plastic, he still doesn't qualify as a toy, thus he's unlikely to find this site.
5. He's dead, and although he had the visage of a zombie while alive he likely wouldn't have come to this site as "Zombie Hunting" would likely be scary for him...he might have felt himself to be a target.
6. There's no prescription painkiller ads on this site, so he certainly couldn't have found us here.

[darkeye202]

Alright, why not?

Primary Weapon - Double-Edged Sword

Secondary Weapon - Longbow

Close Combat - 2 Daggers

Backpack - Suit of Medieval Armor (Try and bite me NOW :lol:)

Transportation - Horse, or if the animals were dead as well... I would carhop.

I'd go for the long haul, no ammo to run out of, (I could make arrows) and no fuel to run out of. In every Zombie movie I've ever seen the survivors were killed because they were bitten randomly, ran out of ammo, or ran out of gas. Sucky way to die. :roll:

[Soldier of Fate]

Primary weapon- claymore:twisted:

Secondry weapon-longbow

close combat1- viking sword

close combat2- nija sword

backpack- survial knife, ramen, flashlight, two kuri, water filters, cell phone, MP3 player, and spare cloths.

transportaion- walking

and any surviers can tag along as long as they dont have any wounds if they have wounds they stay where they are they try to follow me they die:twisted:

[King of the Marro]

Primary: MP5
Secondary: Flamethrower

Close Combat 1: Twin Katana's

Backpack: Food, Ammo, Gasmask, Poison Gas, Warm Clothes, Heroscape (that ones a must)

Transportation: (Hopefully by the time there's a Zombie outbreak, there will be one of these)

Very smart!

As for me...

Primary weapon - anything automatic, like a SMG

Secondary - Compound Bow (for the arrowmaking, I really like that idea)

Close Combat - katana

Who needs a backpack when you have this:


It could hold enough fuel for a long time, and is heavily armored. good luck, zombies :)

Close Combat 2: Baseball bat

Backpack: Canned food, Ammo, Clothes, Rope, gasoline, lighter/machetes,

Transportation: what ever I could find.

The first thing I would do is get the chainsaw and get a backpack and fill it with stuff I need.
Next is to head to the police station (it is just down the street) to pick up a gun and stock up on ammo, than I would find a two story building and destroy the stairs on my way up then I’d rearrange the second story to make it a fortress during the day I would gather supplies and look for survivors, During the night I would defend my fortress.

[Einar Gen.]

Primary: Machine gun
Secondary: Bazooka

Close combat 1: Hatchet. (Weapon, tool, and medium ranged weapon in an emergency)

Close combat 2: Whatever's lyin' around!

Backpack: Grenades! Lots of grenades! Canned food, bottled water. Matches and lighter. (In this situation, there would be plenty of materials to burn, so the backpacking stove is a bit of a burden) Skillet. Extra ammo. Flashlight.

Transportation: Dirtbike! I'm used to riding them, and they're fast as heck... I'd use what I had with me to setup an HQ, and gather extra materials, ammo, food, and fuel during the day.

[southwest ninja]

Primary: Major Q9
Secondary: Major Q10

Close combat 1: Krug

Close combat 2: Jotun

Backpack: glyph of Healing and a glyph of revive. maybe an X order marked turned into a 4 to sneak in an extra attack.

transportation: I was going to go with theracus but then decided on Brunak so we can kick some ass on the ride!

I am surprised no one has mentioned a shark suit yet. If sharks cannot bite through, zombies defiantly cannot get through. There is your best battle wear right there.

But any heavy armor would become cumbersome.

And shark suits are basically chainmail, I believe.

Or since you obviously don't care, we could sacrifice you and sneak out the back door while the Zombies murder you. ;)

Personally, I'm a fan off Shotguns Vs. Zombies.

[bmaczero]

A shotgun, a shovel, and a sailboat. That's all you need ;).

Wait my equipment would be Barack Obama watch this linkhttp://sendables.jibjab.com/originals/hes_barack_obama

I hope that doesn't stand for Anthasu1.

Actually Final, I found Aldins a lot funnier, believe it or not... And I'm a Republican.

[finalmix]

then the video should have made you laugh pretty hard because it makes fun of obama.

[Anthasu1]

I don't find taking a thread off topic to rip on the President funny, I guess I'm lame though, then.

Now Demetri Martin and Jeff Dunham, they are funny.

Anyways, I'm wondering, what types of Zombies are we killing? Night of the Living Dead Slow, or the New fast Zombies popular in videogames? Like L4D?

[finalmix]

The, i'vewatchedtomanymoviestoday kind ;)

[Odin_Osgard]

I didn't find the video funny it was rather lame.
I beleive that as the zombies get progressively older they will lose more and more muscle and get slower. Their muscle wouldn't grow back so a zombie would probably shamble.

[Arcus]

After reading the Zombie Survival Guide, not that I am planing on anything, but go me thinking, If there was a Zombie outbreak, or any kind of invasion, what would my equipment be.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rules

You can only carry

One Primary weapon
One Secondary weapon

Each with only two accessoryies (scope, lasersight, ect...)

Two Close combat weapons

One backpack

One mode of Transportation

Anything else I might have forgotten? (These are not set in stone)

------------------------------------------------------------------

What I would bring

Somekind of Rifle/ Pistol pairing that can both use the same magizine
- Both Silenced along with the Rifle having a Scope and the Pistol with a Laser sight

Barring that

- M21 - Silenced and Scoped
- P90 - Silenced and Scoped

- Machete
- Trench Knives

- Backpack filled with - water purifier, complete first aid kit, flint, extra ammo, food packs




What are your ideas?

I love that book! A sequel to the Zombie Survival Guide comes out in October. I think you can pre-order it at Barnes and Nobles.

Have you read World War Z yet?

[SuperflyTNT]

Problem with the P90 is the small caliber. 5.7mm is made to defeat body armor, and thus it would overpenetrate Zombies and not stop them. Better off with the UMP .45.

The Obama video was really funny.

Why would you need a silenced weapon against Zombies?

[finalmix]

so you don't **** the bear that is 5 feet away and sleeping off.

[Orcs Blade]

I haven't read all twenty-nine pages, so sorry if someone has already done this.

I would bring...

Gurei-Oni.

You're assuming of course that you are firing the SS190 round which is designed to penetrate armor. However, its ballistics characteristics does not mean it would overpenetrate the average human body. Considering the decayed effects of the typical Zombie, and thus the lack of mucscle and organ cohesion it is quite possible that you would face over penetraction. But, also remember that the accepted method of terminating a Zombie is with a head shot. I believe the P90 (or summarily PS90) would be effective in this roll.

A couple of things to remember. The likelihood of finding a P90 is much lower than that of a fully automatic M16/AR15. While there are a fair number of police departments that utilize the P90 in their SWAT units, SRTs etc., you would probably have to get into their armories to have any reasonable expectation of obtaining one. The second is obtaining the SS190 round which is highly restricted by FNH. Sure, if you can get into the arms room you can stock up at the ammo at the same time.

I myself would prefer to use my PS90. Sure it is semi-automatic and doesn't have the "fun" switch, but I can assure you I can tag any hoard of Zombies repeatedly in the head at 50 to 100 yards in rapid succession. With 50 rounds of SS197 ammunition per magazine I can hold of at least a hoard of 100 to 150 Zombies pretty effectively with the 3 magazines I have.

To your point about the UMP I would agree in terms of ballistic effects on the body. The .45 ACP round is probably a much more effective Zombie stopper than the 5.7x28 mm. But you have to keep in mind the recoil of the firearm and your ability to effectively place followup shots into the hoard quickly and effectively. I myself would feel more comfortable doing this with my PS90. If I had to go to a different SMG type weapon I would probably pick my HK94 (civilianized MP5). It is highly accurate, allows for rapid follow-up shots due to minimal recoil, and has a round that is not only of larger caliber, but also probably much more obtainable than any variant of the 5.7x28 mm.

So, pick your poison. Killing Zombies is. . .

Wait minute. Someone's at the door. . .

Why would you need a silenced weapon against Zombies?

They are supposedly hyper-sensitive to sound and can use it to triangulate(sp?) your position.

After some thought and watching a few too many zombie movies, (Shaun of the Dead ftw!) I have reconsidered my selection of weapons. Instead I would just like one backpack, and have inside it:

Has anyone thought to:
1. Dig a trench and fill it with a strong acid (HCl maybe?). There's no way zombie flesh could survive corrosion, and without any muscles they wouldn't be able to move too far.
2. Build zombie killing robots (in the event of a zombie attack I know some people...).
They'd probably be impervious to zombie attacks (as they're made of metal and could carry heavy armor) and as long as you have a power source (solar panels-save the power from the daytime for nightly zombie attacks) they could run indefinitely.
3. Draft Zelrig.

News in brief: Thousands under quarantine in China

Monday, 3 August 2009

Thousands of people have been placed under quarantine in a town in north-west China after a man died of pneumonic plague and 11 others were confirmed infected with the deadly lung infection, health authorities said.

...sound familiar?

~Aldin, buying more shells for the shotgun
