I have a baseball bat, just in case.

Would be nice with a machete, though.

You're best off just learning to improvise with objects around you.

That way you don't have to carry shit around.

Way ahead of ya.

Just bought a gun for the first time.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

anyone else but me thinking of buying some sort of mecha after watching TTGL? you know just incase

Can't own a weapon of any kind in Great Britain, can you?

I know karate so I'm good.

i have got a fucking cane, i wouldn't let those bastards bite me.

i have swords, axes and knives in the basement. and a lawn mower.

>>37310217

Katana would be good
nail gun would work too

can't wait for then next ep with SAYA AND THE POWER DRILL

anyone else stock up on coloring books for the autistic kids who watch HotD? you know just incase

You know those road cleaners they use?

I'd love to steal one of those

>>37310268
Anyone stock up on anti-troll spray for all the HotD threads? You know, because we'll need it.

It'd be best to get a melee weapon if there ever was a zombie invasion.. cause you'd run out of bullets eventually if you got a gun.

Best I have to improvise with is a shovel and a crowbar in the garage. Both would probably tire me out relatively quickly if I were to be swinging them around for a prolonged time.

Of course if something like that did happen fighting would be the last thing on my mind. My priorities would be more on finding somewhere safe and holing down until the whole thing blows over. There's a military base about an hour drive from where I live, but in the worst case scenario, that would be the first place everyone goes so it'd be crowded as hell.

I would want to be as close to the military as possible in a zombie attack.

Being on an Aircraft Carrier or Submarine would be best.

No.

Because the only zombies I ever deal with are apple elitist.

Just get/steal an iPad and threaten to destroy it, that usually stops them.

Weapons are awesome anyway, why do you need a reason to own one? It's your life.

i have a pair of Scissors in every room, and those without usally have a knife or sharp object of description... i "should" me alright.

faggots

>>37310341

Sharpen the shovel and you have a improvished axe.

you faggots. you live in america.

get a gun.

Oh I'll be fine, I think..

Pic related, it's a Benelli Super 90 M3.

you left that in black masa

I already have a rifle
that's enough.

if one is infected on the carrier or submarine ya'll all die, awesome, no?

I live on a sailboat
your argument is invalid

>>37310119

What for? /a/non have no brain so he is immune.

>>37310430
>Black Mesa

Black Table.

>>37310119

dude I've been preparing for zombies since early 2004.

>>37310438
I know, but you'd really have to fuck up to not notice a zombie in your boat.

>>37310398
perfect weapon for zombies

bashing, skewering, plus all the civvie stuff

yes

>>37310253

Keep watching HotD and you'll know why a katana is not good.

all I have near me is... a flute

i'm fucking lost.

maybe I could make a bomb with sulfur and flour or something

Aside from my trust shotgun, I'd want a sturdy axe and a combat knife. Fuck swords, that shit is useless.

I have a machete I got in Chile, a few balisong from when I was in the Philippines, and I have a matched pair of Glock 9mm, Taurus 45s, a mossburg 12 gauge, and a polish cavalry sword. I just bought a .22 pistol for plinking around with, but that's not really a gun.

>>37310495

There's always that one guy who was bitten but hides it from everyone else and then ends up fucking things up for everyone once they change.

I've got a spade and a sledge hammer in the shed that's about the best I can do.

>>37310548
and then saeko will explain why a katana is ok

I have like 4 guns in my house.

>>37310499
lolim downloading the non steam version of that right now

>>37310119

>>37310549

No, see, what you do is bust out into a kickass flute solo and have the zombies follow your tune. You'd be like the pied piper of the undead.

weapons are useless as evidenced here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShPsD2kKUeg

>>37310549
play the right notes and fly away

Anything which isn't guaranteed to cleave a head off in one blow and might get stuck is a bad choice. Swords unless you're Guts in general are a bad idea.

>>37310428

That's one shitty shotgun.

Took care of that years ago, thanks.

>>37310690

Well except that guy was an idiot in that movie

I don't think a crowbar is perfect for an outbreak though, The recoil after hitting something with a crowbar is too strong, on the other hand, if it digs through flesh there wouldn't be any recoil at all.

Slicing weapons are shit tier on zombies

You are a fucking idiot if you are using a slicing weapon

>they require maintenance to stay sharp
>not good at crowd control
>get stuck on one target

You need a weapon you can count on all the time.

A baseball bat or a hammer is the way to go

Read zombie survival guides you fools

>OH IT IS GONNA BE SO COOL TO SLICE SHIT AWAY WITH A SWORD
no.....

Choose your weapon intelligently.

I have a hussar saber, some ultra sharp japanese kitchen knives and a collection of hunting rifles in my house.

Should be enough.

>>37310217
hisashi knew karate, and man, was that helpful.

all i have is a knife and some wooden training weapons, maybe i could smash their heads in with my bokken, but other than that i'm fucked it seems

my dad has 2 guns already so no

zombiesurvivalguidemind

My body is ready.

>>37310827
>Hammer
Enjoy your shit reach while I use my spear to poke heads from afar.

I got a broom and a pocket knife. I could always chop off the straw on the broom and sharpen the end with the pocket knife. I also have a couple gallons of gas and some matches.

well all i got are metal chairs, i should be good for a day or two....maybe

>>37310842

To be fair, they weren't really expecting the zombies to be super strong, and this was also before they realized the "DON'T GET BITTEN" thing.

It won't be better than a weapon, but knowing martial arts would be good enough to keep two or three off of you until you can get your hands on something better.

If I wanted to kill zombies in style and not just be another person with a bat or a pry bar or something, I think I'd go with a broadsword. Or a MACE. The one pictured is machined out of titanium.

Still would keep a pry bar around though.

>>37310406
Cant if you have a criminal record. Do you know a black market where I could get one?

>>37310827

This is some major bullshit. Blunt weapons would be effective only if you are very strong. And even then you would get tired fast.

Good cutting weapon is the way to go.

>>37310909

A hammer would be good as a last resort defense weapon though. place it in your belt loop. get ambushed by a lone zombie just smack it on the head.

First place i'm going is the museum.

I want me some skull-cracking tools with a side-order of slicing.

I live in Ireland and we'd be totally fucked if the apocalypse broke out. The police barely have fuckin' weapons. That said, molotov cocktails would be no problem.

i shall use this sheet this till the end of the HSOTD ~

heard of a sledge hammer?

it will be your best friend idiot

QBZ-95 UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER

>>37310784
got that too, years ago. I'm now prepared and ready to kill zombies anytime anywhere

>>37310906
Ditch useless keys: acquire First aids sprays.

I own an escrima, which is essentially a thick, 2 foot long bamboo stick.

It should work rather well at hitting things in the head, but let's be honest: If there is a zombie apocalypse, I'm so fucked it's not even conceivable.

>>37311027
>urucei

ZABUZA SWORD CAN'T BE BEAT!

TRENCH SPIKES FTW

>>37311013

But Molotov's cocktails would hardly work now, would they? I mean, they're zombies. It's not like they care if they're on fire or not, they'd just keep coming.

Considering getting a shotty. Maybe a Remmington. Something manly.

>>37311078

First aids sprays are for faggots.

>>37311046
A spear is much longer, and easy to create than a sledge hammer. Also in the process of lifting it you leave a big ass opening, whereas with a spear you could just keep jamming it in.

Anybody saying a blunt weapon is a good choice are retarded.

The HOTD zombies get wrecked by a nail gun, so I'd go with that and a baseball bat. Guns are out because they're too loud.

.>>37310217
You would die in the first ep. Sorry.

I would raid the local armory at the airport. Tons of M4 Carbine rifles and ammo up the ass.

Getting there would be an issue, but I think I can steal a neighbor's car if it comes to it.

>>37311057

That shit will jam faster than you can say "Oh shit"

>>37310919
Forgot to mention that I also got a super soaker I could always put gas in there then flick a light match at the zombies.

>>37310827

the zombie survival guide

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=iyb5h4j1

This is clearly the best choice. Guaranteed close range safety, huge ammo pack, easily reloaded.

>>37311129
Nah, fire should work. It's just not instant kill, you'd still need to run away from them a little bit.

i'll buy a cricket bat.

Landsknechts used their two-handed swords already effectively during the great zombie apocalypses of the late middle ages.

>>37311190
You realize the flame would melt the supersoaker plastic.

>>37311185
and what makes you think that?

WE NEED TO GET TO AN ISLAND!

>>37311209

AA12 overkill much?!

But oh so manly.

Anyone choosing a close range weapon is fucked.

Enjoy getting swamped.

>>37310991
Don't rely on one weapon.

The best you can do is not have to fight Zombies at all. Barricade and stock up supplies, and be quiet.

But if you have to fight them, have multiple slashing weapons and a safe haven to resharpen and repair them. You also want a silenced rifle of sorts. The quieter the better. And certainly no full auto. Preferably high caliber. Close quarters combat is the last thing you should do if it can be avoided.

Stealth > Running > Long ranged sniping > Close ranged slashing.

The perfect anti-zombie weapon doesn't exist. It would be a silent laser rifle with a fusion battery and unlimited range.

>>37311237

well it does have a bigger smashing areas then a baseball bat

do they make them in aluminum?

http://world.guns.ru/

Go nuts.

>>37311317

But isn't smashing better than slashing?

I'd rather have a good old fashioned warhammer than a faggy sword...

with any gun you are gonna be left out of bullets
with any melee weapon you are gonna get tired

sooner or later all will die

I have one of these.

And if I get the chance I'll raid the tool shop close to my home, find me a fucking chainsaw and a nail gun or someshit.

Enjoy getting tired out after swinging your weapon around for a minute or so.

A good ole bat is probably still one of the best choices. Durable, and not extremely heavy.

>>37311300
anyone getting a long range weapon is fucked.

enjoy getting swamped.

seriously, a close range weapon is your best bet for not getting swamped. You cant fire your rifle or what have you from point blank range, this isn't counterstrike

Seeing that most males in Finland have served in the army reserve since it's mandatory, I think I would be pretty well off.. Especially since the nearest army base is only 3km's from my house, and it's on a fucking island.

>>37311268
I wouldnt light the gun WHILE I'm shooting. AFTER I'm done shooting I throw the match.

I already have a machete, a hand axe, baseball bats, rakes, shovels, kitchen knives, frying pan, rolling pin, etc etc etc.

I want a handgun.

>>37311358
If you can use a range weapon with reusable ammo, such as a silenced nail gun of some sort, you can retrieve the ammo after clearing out a room of zombies.

I don't need a weapon, just give me a super defensive exoskeleton and I'll even wrestle with them zombies.

Automatic military shotgun with drum magazine loaded with Brenneke type slugs is the best option.

And saber or katana for close combat.

I own the civilian version of this. Longer barrel, no grenade launcher.

>>37311358
Which is why hiding somewhere is your best bet.

You just need some shit in case you're caught.

>>37311380
No idiot, why would you even be attacked by zombies at close range if you're using a battle rifle?

You're limited to CQB if you're carrying a shottie. You're absolutely fucked.

You carry a rifle, you go to a safe place, and pin heads down hundreds of meters away.

For anyone that's interested here's the zombie survival sheet template.

>>37311356
Smashing requires more of your own strength. Slashing lets you use a blade's cutting power. And it's a bit more versatile. You can lop off arms and jaws and legs with a blade. But not with a mallet. The only flaw is that they lose sharpness, but that is countered if you have several. You definitely don't want to be too tired from swinging a heavy mallet a few dozen times.

>>37311217

Yeah, exactly. So it would not really matter if you kill them or not since you still have to run away.

>>37311356
Zombies will be unarmored and unarmed. If they die from any head wound serious enough to kill a human (not sure what exactly the HotD rules are), then a simple rapier would be extremely effective and not so tiring.

>>37311380
>>37311300
Anyone who only gets one kind of weapon is fucked.

Enjoy getting swamped.

>>37310341

>Of course if something like that did happen fighting would be the last thing on my mind. My priorities would be more on finding somewhere safe and holing down until the whole thing blows over

Only person in this thread with some sense.

Running around and swinging things like a sledgehammer or axe is only going to tire you out, then enjoy getting swamped once you're too tired to fight anymore.
Guns are good, but only if you have a good supply of ammo as well.

First priority should always be getting somehwere safe first.

>>37311356

No. Slashing weapon is guaranteed damage. Blunt weapon is a shitty choice.

>>37311356
>But isn't smashing better than slashing?
Depends on how the zombies work.

I'd assume if you did something like >>37311196 to a zombie he'd stop moving.

And it's not like you couldn't use swords to deal blunt damage as well (pic related).

AKS-47

That way I'll be sure that any zombie I put a 7.62 in the head will stay down.

And I never worry about my gun jamming.

Note* A zombie on fire does not die. its just a zombie on fire.

I already have two pump action shot guns, a carbine, and a bolt action rifle, so I think I'm safe.

>>37311399
good luck lighting that match every time, especially while stressed

>>37311444
MY GOD WHERE CAN I BUY ONE!?

i live in america

Look guys, all you need is a sniper rifle and a locked down ammo production facility. Shoot away. These aren't L4D zombies or Resident Evil zombies. They're weak as hell.

>>37311412
but it needs batteries to work right?

>>37311164

You also forgot much easier to break
and much easier to get dull

A spear is horrible for "AOE" attacks

A mace or baseball bat has enough force to knock out a target and push away other targets effectively

Plus penetration is horrible on Zombies. They will still continue to come at you unless you get it in the head.

Plus all you fuckers using blades/cutting weapons

Have fun pulling out your sharp edge when it is stuck in them.

Right now go ahead and stick an axe in a watermelon

Whats that it is slightly stuck right?

Imagine a layer of bone and organs much thicker then a watermelon. Have fun pulling it out every time.

Blunt weapons are the ultimate in survival against the normal slow moving zombie.

Also it's fucking time for solo nazi zombies on WaW.

>>37311554
It's sold in America, expensive though. I live in Belgium, we build the shit here.

>>37311217
Zombies won't be hindered by fire at all. They'll be killed, but they won't slow down until that happens. You'd better put some distance between you and them, or you'll be attacked by flaming zombies who don't care that their redeath will end in a few moments.

I shall use my over sized sword and sweep 30 zombies in swing with my huge hitbox

>>37311470
Baseball bat is the best melee weapon, imo, if you absolutely HAVE to use one. Aim for the knees on single targets to minimize splatter and risk of infection, then get the fuck away. If you're up against a crowd, and in melee, you're fucked regardless of what weapon you have.

>>37311527

True, but i don't like the idea of cutting my hands up if the zombie does something crazy like trying to grab the blade.

if you have a blunt weapon you can break arms, hands, legs, etc...

>>37311317

A zombie apocalypse would likely result in mass bombing of the affected area. I say fuck holding up in some building. Steal a bunch of shit and a boat and live on the high seas for as long as possible.

Bitches don't know bout my Chauchat

Snake, try to remember the basics of CQC...

don't you usafags have bomb shelters you can escape to and live for a couple of weeks until the dead are all rotten?

>>37311544
Fun Fact: A zombie on fire from a hot enough fire will actually die

Another Fun Fact: Napalm is really hot and is pretty easy to make.

i have a les baer m1911 in .45.

right now i have about 600 rounds in hollow point.

<-

>>37311525
Obviously. But you're probably going to need a weapon to get there, or at least should probably have one just in case.

Anyone insane enough to actually seek out zombies and fight them, without first ruling out every alternative, is too dumb to live.

What the hell is with you dumbass firefags?

Zombies don't feel pain, let alone fire. Enjoy having a flaming zombie torch up your holdout.

/zombiesurvivalguide

I have a good shovel.

It will suffice.

>>37311449
have you ever seen a zombie movie? you arent guaranteed close quarters all the time. shit happens, ambushes happen, you cant see everywhere because there will often be shit for zombies to hide behind.

also, what makes you think shotguns have a 5 yard range? playing too much modern warfare 2? shotguns still have amazing distance to them, as well as stopping power.

you're a fucking idiot if you think you could keep every zombie at 100+ yard range while traveling around.

>>37310224

>soundtrack
>fucking Slayer

Fuck yes.

Also, sauce on OP's image. I'm serious. I'm pretty sure I saw that particular machete somewhere else. I would like to purchase one.

>>37311639

Brotip; a zombie on fire is still going to be walking towards you until it dies.

Then you have napalm all over your lovely barricades.

>>37311655
I honestly hope you don't expect the silencers to work as well as CoD silencers.

>>37311553
I wouldnt use a super soaker when Im on defense and the zombies know where I am. It's only good when you're using stealth.

>>37311526
zombies have a weak skeletal structure, you could smash their heads in easy

>durr i just watched this anime adaption of a year old anime and first NOW ill get weponz

Why are you faggots stupid? If the muscles on a zombie melt, they cannot move any more.

Fire is good.

>>37311631
"OK, we're all in the shelter, everyone's ok right"
"Y-Yes."
"What's that on your shoulder"
"Nothing, just a bite."
"YOU FUCKING IDIOT, GET OUT OF HERE"

Enjoy your crowded shelter soon filled with zombies because some people are terrified and selfish and better at hiding their bite wounds than this example.

>>37311695
Getting hit by a steam of napalm means death comes very, very quick. Hit it in the head and every brain protein would instantly denature leaving you with a very dead zombie.

>>37311671
That's the point Zombies wont notice that they are on fire until it's too late.

Anime like these makes me really glad I'm getting drafted soon. It'll just be one year of training, but that would put me miles ahead of where I'm now if a disaster were ever to occur. It's a surprisingly comforting idea.

>>37311655

Yeah. Sub sonic bullets against zombies. Great idea.

>>37311562
says who?

anyways l4d zombies are weak as hell. good luck getting headshots while swamped. enjoy your limited magazine size

>>37311164

Yer a whole lot of good that did in the episode though.

>>37311768
Fire isn't hot enough to melt muscles, you dumb fuck, go back to /sci/ence

>>37311655
and why do you need a suppressor?

Distraction radio, you motherfuckers. Strap one of these on a remote controlled car and you'll be safe as long as the car still have batteries.

Is there some sort of guide out there to makeshift weapons and how to use them? I'm talking things like molotov cocktails and the like. I'm not really thinking about a zombie apocalypse here so it doesn't have to be specifically aimed at zombies, I just think it would be useful information to know.

>>37311703
Of course not, but a silenced shot is still a lot quieter than going loud.

Better for your shots to be heard from 20* meters away than 300.*

*Bullshit numbers, I don't know how far the sound actually carries.

I train from child. My biceps will suffice. And then I'll get bitten and become the most badass zombie ever and fuck up your hideout.

>>37311842

So the other zombies can't hear you when you plug the one thats in your way.

all this talk about killing zombies, you all seem to be forgetting in a zombie apocalypse the key to winning is survival, you don't fight them directly, nor do you go looking for them, you sneak around, kill any small groups of them that cross your paths and completly run away from large groups. All of your large huge as gun that I have seen on this thread are guaranteed to be loud as fuck and attrack hordes of them to you, while you piss away a hundred bullets on a single zombie

>>37311779
that is exactly why i think its better for the military to kill anything coming out of the city

>>37311798
to be honest, bullets going through zombies < bullets stopping inside zombies

>>37311599
You'll probably want to wear a good pair of gloves anyway if you're going to use a melee combat weapon, so it's not like there was much of a risk of cutting your fingers.

>>37311822
No, but it sure is hot enough to denature protein and render a zombie immobile.

Mk. 17

Fuck that shit, if I had to pick a melee weapon to fight off zombies, I'd take a trench tool.

>>37311798
Subsonic bullets are much more likely to tumble around inside the zombie as opposed to tearing straight through. While headshots won't be much different, if you happen to miss and hit the body, you'll be a lot happier if the zombie had it's muscles torn and become disabled instead of it still coming at you.

>>37311855

Tip: silencers reduce the bullet speed to sub sonic. That's why there is no breaking the sound barrier noise. The blast noise is still there.

High tier: blunt weapons

shit tier: cutting weapons

God tier: Run away

If you can avoid a fight always take that option

>>37311895
>all this talk about killing zombies, you all seem to be forgetting in a zombie apocalypse the key to winning is survival

And one key aspect of surviving is to be prepared for any sort of situation.

You don't actively seek zombies to fight it out with, you just prepare to fight zombies in the event that you HAVE to fight them.

There are plenty of good hideouts, but the real problem is food and fights between survivors over food.

/a/non...would you kill me if there was only enough food for one of us?

>>37311954

Valid point, but i still think >>37311000
is the better choice.

I mean, you have a variety of options there - smashing, stabbing and slashing all rolled into one.

I'd try to evacuate myself to china, find jackie chan who barricaded himself and a baby in a rope/chair/ladder factory.

>>37311954
Not to mention the sweat on your hands might make the handle slippery.

I have to confess though everyone talks about zombies like there stating facts know facts:

>>37311746

For a minute there I thought I was on /k/ -Zombies & Other Paranoid Delusions.

I would get my ass to Prince Edward Island. Kill all the locals, bomb the bridge to keep zombies out, and start a small farming life on a huge island with other survivors.

When I first read HOTD, I was at my dorm room in college. I then realized that in the event of a zombie outbreak, all i would have to defend myself with is a shower rod. But now that I'm back for the summer, there's a 20 inch machete in the closet, so all is well again.

>>37312018
But if you actively seek zombies to kill, then they become a rarity, and eventually just die off as their flesh rots. Of course you want to launch a major counter-offensive.

>>37312072
>Implying zombies are not real

Almost any zombie "expert" would advise that unless you are a highly trained marksmen, guns are out of the question.

This is probably the best thing any civilian could use. Long reach, easy to wield and carries the advatage of a piercing weapon and a blunt weapon.

So stop trying to compensate for your ridiculously small penises and be practical.

>>37312149

You die.

Actively seeking out zombies to kill would be a fucking stupid idea, preparing to fight them in the event that you have to is not.

on a fucking zombie

you know i hope all this preparation isn't for nothing.

Too bad a suit of armor is out of the question because of the noise and endurance issue. Maybe I'll just wear it when I'm asleep. I'm fucking noisy when I'm asleep anyways. Plus I'm deaf so I wouldnt be able to hear the zombies coming anyways.

>>37310402

You mean steal right?

This might be primarily /v/ related, but did /a/ know that Brian Mitsoda (former Troika developer, worked on Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines) is developing an isometric indie zombie apocalypse RPG with heavy focus on survival aspects (scavenging resources, finding allies, making sure they don't freak out, etc.), inspired by the original Fallout series?

More info: http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,1466.0.html

Given all those HotD threads lately, I thought /a/ (or at least part of /a/) might be interested in it.

>>37312203

With the zombie apocalypse only lasting until all the zombies pass away from exposure and death, you would have plenty of ammo to wait. Just raid a fucking Wal-Mart sporting good section.

A zombie is for all intentional purposes, a hunk of flesh. just that. No nervous system, no pain, no fear. Now imagine if you had an army of steaks attacking you, do you honestly think bullets or fire will slow them down?

Assault Rifles don't have stopping power. Revolvers do.

You guys should stop using outdated shit as your standard issue rifle.

doesn't seem very useful, also how will you do a full swing when you're in a small space?

Are you stupid, or are you just acting retarded?

Why do zombies die when you hit them in the head?

Wrong, you can use either supersonic or subsonic loads with a suppressor. The subsonic load will certainly be quieter than the supersonic, but you can use both. The only thing a suppressor does is redirect and contain gases in a way to reduce flash and sound. It marginally affects the bullet's ballistics.

Durr hurr stoppan powah derp. A .45 to the brain is as good as any other round.

Jesus christ, anyone talking about firearms better own one before they mouth off.

Well, in terms of range you have an advantage with the pollaxe, but given that Zombies are unable to defend themselves properly and aren't heavily armoured, I think a longsword, or perhaps a two-handed sword would have more devastating effects.

Both would be good choices though.

>>37312401
Why the fuck do we attack them in the brain then?

>>37312351
30 zombies and 10 shotgun shells per load. If you end up with fast zombies you are S.O.L. It's not total ammo I'm worried about, it's clip ammo.

>>37312340

Holy shit, colour me excited.

For all of you suggesting using guns.

Enjoy being a zombie when you run out of ammo and have nothing to defend yourself with in close quarters. Also, I highly doubt most of you could make a headshot on a moving target. Anything else would just slow them down.

Thumb looks like C3PO

You faggots still fighting over the best weapon?

Here is a hint, it ain't a fucking slicing weapon

>>37312577
Yeah, it's fire.

>>37312404

Because of humanitarian bullshit. FMJ bullets are shit.

Goddammit faggots take your zombie and weapons related derping to /k/.

>>37312527
To try to cut off their jaws. If a zombie doesnt have a jaw he cant bite you.

>>37312400
However it starts it starts with a single person going around biting/killing people. Because it is isolated no one takes notice of it, people die all the time, givenen time and tghe rate of time it takes for the infection to killing a living person the infection will spread and random acts of violence will be reported all ov er, it's at this point that some both civillian and military will begin to realize what will hapen, military/government will try to contain it but it is unlikely they will be successful, soon entire major cities fall and people become refugees fleeing for their live.....someone else takeover i'm tired

>>37312527
From what I understand, they don't feel pain. Hence the "lack of nervous system" bit. I think they barely have enough for motor function, so destroying the brain could impair it enough to cease motor funtion.

>>37312511
Longswords are for use on armored opponents. For unarmored opponents, something like a sabre is less exhausting to wield and just as effective.

It doesn't really matter though, anyway.

Everyone is so afraid of zombies because of all the media about them, that if they actually appeared, the military would initiate hammer-down protocol almost immediately. As soon as it was clear that there are zombies and they are consuming the population of a city.

What the flying fuck are you talking about.

And let's not even show .308.

Subsonic loads do not have the ability to violently fragment. The 5.56/.223 is a very fast round and violently tumbles and fragments once it hits the body. A subsonic bullet can expand, but that's about it. Expansion creates a very small permanent and temporary wound cavity compared to a fragmenting bullet.

>>37312560
It's a good thing I bought a knife set from my cousin. Butcher cleavers included.

>>37312658
Headshots and beheading kill zombies. Period.
If it doesn't it's LOL magic and can be stopped with magic bullshit or should be.

>>37312658
In which case, setting them on fire is enough to cease functions in their brain (provided their head gets caught aflame), and ending your zombie problem.

Then, to prevent a massive outbreak of fire consuming the world, immediately put out the fire. If the fire reached the head of the zombie, it should instantly die due to proteins denaturing.

This entire thread is stupid. Guns? Katanas? Knives and cleavers? Jesus fuck, no wonder so many zombie movies show the majority of the populace turned.

/a/ - Weapons and..
ah fuck this

>>37312400
It all depends on the first few people.

If someone in that initial group knows his or her shit, they can essentially prevent an invasion by terminating all infected individuals.

If it gets to about 50 people, you're in real trouble.

I could do with a set of these.

Or 2 Rapiers just to put some distance between me and zombies

What do the solid lines indicate? Shock?

Enjoy being swarmed by zombies after you're catching your breath killing just one with a bat. I'll be sitting in safety picking them off at a distance.

Ammo? I can carry 1000 rounds of .22 easily.
Moving targets? I go trap shooting weekly.
Close-quarters? One shot from my Mossberg is more effective than struggling with a zombie.

Bring on 2012.

People that aren't highly strained and seriously strong aren't going to be "lopping" peoples heads or arms off.

Necks are not the consistency of butter. Your knives and swords are nearly worthless.
If they only die by brain destruction putting cuts in them won't help.

I'll take a baseball bat or a short shovel, a shotgun and saw the barrel short.

If you've got "strong" zombies you've got to not fight them as much as possible, you'll just get tired.
"Weak" zombies, just prod them with the bat and run.

>>37312831

Bullet path, DUrr
Bubbles are the wakes.

No. Barring any sort of, er, magic, a zombie apocalypse can't really happen the way the movies depict it.

>>37312803
Do you swing with the curve or against it?

I have a 12 gauge shotgun with a lot of slugs and 00 buck so I think I'm good.

Oh and a .22 rifle in case I need to pelt some zombies to death.

>>37312831

Shaded portion is the permanent cavity, that is, the hole that the bullet leaves behind.

Unshaded portion is the temporary cavity, flesh that is displaced or stretched during the bullet's travel, but is still intact and returns to place once the bullet has stopped or exited.

soooo slicing or smashing for corpse checking?

A helicopter blade would probably work wonders against a zombie army.
