If you're fighting, adrenaline is going to be pumping through your body anyway. Adrenaline doesn't make you stupid though, you're not going to shoot someone on your side. It will literally make you perceive time slower, giving you more time to aim, and better reflexes. It also makes you feel a lot less pain, which could be important. But, it's not that big of a deal.

I have a few health issues that cause me to go into anaphylactic shock (bee allergy, is them main one) but I should be fine, I've done 6 years of immunotherapy for it. Epipens give adrenaline, for about 15 minutes, those might be an option

I was thinking that. Like honestly, signs of early infection is a fever, and if I remember right, nausea. There are 25000 other things that could cause that. If they're infected, at a certain point they'll go into a coma, and 23 hours after infected, their heart will stop. How's this. If they're heart stops, we bash their head in (not wasting a bullet), and chuck them off the side of the boat. That's taking no chances. As for the swine flu. I already had it, I'm pretty sure. I was in contact with someone who went to mexico, I got flu, which turned into pneumonia. And had pretty much all the symptoms of it. This was before it hit the news, so my doctor didn't culture it. So if that's what I had, I'm immune to that strain now. If it mutates into zombie virus, I would still be immune to parts of it, which may give me full immunity. That would make my life a lot easier. But anyway, if it's airborne, you would only need to worry about it before they transformed. zombies aren't going to be sneezing on you. But, gas masks or ventilators would be 100% required at all times when we weren't in a closed environment that was safe.

It looks like the last guy has a different rifle. You can see the bolt part on his, but not in any of the other shots, and the shape of the gun is different.

I used to get 6 shots a week. I now get 3 shots every month, and another 3 shots every other month. It's not bad at all. I'm not really afraid of anything specific. I like heights. I mean, I wouldn't dangle over the edge, but that's just stupid. I was fine walking around the rim of the grand canyon w/ no safety rail in a lot of areas. I like water. Last time I went to hawaii, the highlight of the trip was diving off a boat into 60 foot deep water. It was perfectly clear, you could see all the way to the bottom. There were turtles, and lots of fish everywhere. I swam almost to the bottom, but the pressure got too much. One thing I remember being afraid of was sharks, but only when the water's murky. Like if I'm 200 feet from shore on a beach, and it's murky, in Hawaii, there could be a shark there that decides I look tasty and bites my leg/ lower body off before I even know what's happening. It's not the shark itself that scares me, but the fact that there would be nothing I could do to stop it. I was snorkeling earlier that trip, and we saw a shark swimming through the reef we were at. I was like "Oh [cabbage], it's a shark" but I wasn't really worried so much, since I could see it. I guess that gives me a fear of the unstoppable/unknown. I don't know...

A halberd is around 6 feet long. Do you honestly think you could be running around, carrying a 6 foot, solid steel pole with a blade at the top without being slowed down? You wouldn't be able to crouch easily, it would be taller than some of you. It's stupid. Just use a gun. EDIT: How the hell did I spell use "using"?

READ. THE. GUIDE. I thought you had, but I'll say this anyways. ONLY HUMANS REANIMATE. Other animals die before the virus can mutate their brains I have read most of it, but it was ages ago and I can't remember much... :? I'll go try to dig it out of the cupboard. CUPBOARD!?!? NO!!! We must keep the guide near us at all times! For example right now the guide is sitting right next to me on the computer desk. Where would I go about aquireing one of these zombie guides? I would like to read it, it sounds full of erm.....useful information :? If only you knew. I'd try and find a downloadable version, thats what I have. Problem is weight. If you miss, it can take a long time to swing again, or, depending on how heavy it is, it could completly knock you off balance. Halberd would work at a certain distance, and only that. It's a few feet away from you. You know what also works, is less rare, is easier to use, has less chance of failure and is less messy? a gun.

There's always the chance of being born with aids, the lack of money to buy condoms or other protections, the lack of condoms. In a lot of areas, a hooker would cost you less than a condom. The thing is, in most of the really poor areas that are affected, there's no way to tell if someone has aids. Rape is also a huge problem in several parts of the world, and there's no much you can do about that.

I'd stick too an old fashioned gun anyway. Plasma requires energy. Guns require bullets. Plasma would also probably require a cartridge or some sort of ammunition. Plus, if a gun jams, or breaks, you can almost always fix it. I doubt anyone could fix a plasma gun. Another great temporary camp: Tennis court. Big, 20 foot chainlink walls all around. They might not hold off an enormous horde for long, but if you need to camp somewhere for a night, you'd be safe. Better than in a building, since you'd have to clear the building first.

BILLIONS of dollars have gone into research for diseases like AIDS and Cancer. We are not realistically near a cure for any of them. The zombie virus is worse. The virus itself kills almost any other living thing, including bacteria and other viruses, which is why they don't decay. We would first need to find something that can survive the virus, which may be impossible in of itself, then make it so something with that property could kill the zombie, or the virus. Since the virus destroys the brain and rebuilds it, there is no cure Making a virus is also ridiculous. If it mutates at all, it could be disastrous. Any variance in the zombie virus from zombie to zombie would also make it useless. Plus, try getting the virus to all the zombies. You can't just spray a gas all over the world (Would be crazy inefficient too) and zombies respiratory systems don't go to their brains, they don't have a bloodflow, the disease wouldn't spread to they're brains, unless it were injected directly into their brains. If we would have to do that, then USE A GUN. It kills them, with no chance of failure. Making a virus to counter it would take years, if it was even possible. Billions would be needed. In order to produce enough bullets to kill 6 billion zombies, it would cost under a billion dollars. Way cheaper. Way more effective. No chance of failure, compared to a virus. And plasma? Are you kidding me? You'd need a nuclear power plant to power enough rifles to be mildly effective for a small force of people.

That was the name given in several articles, in BIG magazines, who don't lie about names. He later claimed it wasn't his name, as he likes to keep his anonymity, but no one knows if it really is or not. Or atleast no one can prove it. -
I would be a lot have underground maintenance and storage areas. But I doubt those would lead outside. I don't know, I'm not really an expert on stadiums

Miniguns aren't going to be easy to find, or to power. They take a lot of electricity. Plus Ammunition will be gone instantly. But, I did notice just like a little baseball park. Like, for a school. It has minimum of 5 foot chain link fences all around it, most of them higher. I was thinking it would be a good place to camp for a night, or fight a battle, if nothing else was available. A stadium would be good, if we could find one that didn't have a roof, and we could grow plants on the field. If we could barricade the exits, it would be mostly safe. But these are places designed for 10's of thousands of people; there are are lot of exits. And egmaestro, I love how when you hear a plan using like 50 miniguns, you think "The escape route doesn't make sense"

The problem with this, is we don't fully understand the human genome. A seemingly useless, ancient gene, could affect some other gene, and if altered could mess a lot of things up. If you don't want AIDS, don't be stupid. If you're gonna have sex with people you aren't sure about, use a condom. Not 100% effective, but it's the best you can do.

Spanish influenza, in 1918, killed upwards of 50 million people. The symptoms are pretty much the same, only a bit less severe at this point.

You mean a crazy right wing conservative born again who thinks right wing "cells" will rise up to protest obama in revolution?

I support this message. Wait... We have plasma swords now?! Holy sh*t. I don't suppose them at walmart, or to miniors, eh? Oh well. I'll stick with my crazed gun weilding skills. *Pulls out a mini-gun, and kills people fallout 3 style*. Yes, that is a style. If we can get laser swords, who do we test them on? Riiiight. Ragmar. I hate ur sig now. And?

Or rifles. You know. Whatever. A semi-automatic rifle with decent power and range, is the best weapon you can get in 95% of situations you would be in. For the other five, a pistol, or a melee weapon would be best. These are close quarters, with little maneuvering room, and unless you seriously mess up, you shouldn't be in those situations. For a case of 5000 .22 bullets (enough to go through the skull, but not enough to go through the back, meaning it would bounce around, guaranteeing a kill.) it's like 750 dollars. That's atleast 4000 dead zombies, unless you have really bad aim. That's about 20 cents a zombie. That's cheap. Higher calibers work just as well, but cost more, but it's still acceptable. a giant sound system, lasers, a virus, gas, whatever, all would cost anywhere from 50-1000 times as much per kill. You can't beat a rifle.

Child pornography is removed, and banned almost instantly. It's the users that post that. You may not see much of him, but he runs the whole site, pretty much. -
In world war z, they mention lasers, but they're grossly inefficient, require a convoy of non-all-terrain vehicles, make radioactive waste, and kill slower than a rifle. As for a vapor, it's not like we can just invent something like that. And, the main way a zombie would kill is with the virus, so a zombie biting another zombie wouldn't do too much.
-
Here's the issue, zombies here just as well as us or worse. Worse is if they're ears rot, or are damaged. And something strong enough to do enough damage to a brain would use a ridiculous amount of power, and the db's needed would be unreachable barring about a thousand simultaneous nuclear bombs. The problem with making a virus to kill the virus is the zombie thing kills just about everything, which is why it takes so long for them to decay. Either way, it would take a really long time to make the virus, and the resources would go better for making bullets to shoot the zombies.
-
Everyone has read that book, or atleast most of us. and 2, the virus is in the brain which controls the zombie. That's how you kill them.

[hide=] [/hide] Did us all a favor and hid your ridiculously page lengthening post. Also, it has fail spelling at the bottom. Anyway, maybe you couldn't tell, but what is it called when someone makes a joke? Oh yeah. Joking. You can't actually be serious about this, if you are, good fight life. Did us all a favour and fixed your goddamn post. You can't say someone fails at spelling when you can't even type right, or have a basic grasp of the English language. lol. explain why my teacher makes me spell-check classmates stories again? i don't even know what ur talking about. if ur talking about the internet speak, it's normal for me. whenever i type, i always don't capitialize, say "ur" instead of "your", etc. Ok let's start things of. A bb gun is .12-.17, has a terrible fps compared to a real gun, and wouldn't be able to penetrate the human skull. Even if you shot it 100 times, you wouldn't succeed. Using the gun as a club is better. And nuking zombies? Good idea if you want to end pretty much all life on earth, except maybe the zombies, since the radiation would affect them mildly, in all likelihood

Damn. I think I only ever had that high of a fever when I had appendicitis... Did you have to go to the ER for that or something? It was only like that for about an hour, and coincidentally, that hour was when I was already at my doctor trying to figure out what I had. So they gave me some meds, and it went down. This has definitely been the sickest I have ever been.
