Zombie Plans-Revised

2: Which of these weapons are best for pwning teh zombies?

 

 

 

A) Machine gun

 

B) Semi automatic

 

C) Flame thrower

 

D) Members of BAIT

 

Depends. Given my choice, I'd take an assault rifle. It's the most versatile. Good range, semi-automatic capabilities, clip 3 or more times the size of a semi-auto rifle, and in case of raiders, it's got full auto, or burst. If I'm doing long range sniping, I'd take a bolt-action rifle.

 

 

Cheater, assault rifle wasn't one of the options. :shame:

 

But it should have been included.

 

Personally, I choose crossbow, as its easier to obtain than a gun here in england.

 

I would need to stay hidden, as crossbows are very, very slow to reload....

[mmmcannibalism]

I would take a semi auto over an assault rifle; except for very close range semi auto fire is going to be superior to fully automatic(assuming ammo conservation matters at all).

Assault rifles can go semi automatic, genius. The only reason they're gray-listed (not quite banned, but ill-advised) is because of the temptation to switch on full auto against zombies. Other than that, they're one of the best weapons in existence for a zombie survivor; very large clip size, designed for heavy wear and tear, not difficult to carry on you at all times when you're trained properly. If it weren't for the Mexican drug cartels and various idiots doing stupid stuff with them, they'd be guaranteed to be findable legally in almost any well-stocked gun store for a long time in America. Ammo shouldn't be much of a problem either, depending on where we set up at. I don't know about you guys, but I still say West Virginia's one of the best places to be at for this sort of thing.

Indeed it is; most of the state outside of major metropolitan areas is scarcely populated and generally its forest.

 

 

 

However, is there any need in a zombie invasion for the ability to automatically fire?

This is one of those "why not?" moments. If an assault rifle can be semi-automatic then we can use it like we would for medium to long range regular rifles, but if a horde of zombies followed us to the base when we were possibly out in town scavenging, we'll want full auto if it gets to be too much.

Essentially a wall of bullets that holds the zombies back?

 

Might as well have three people using shotguns, while everyone else aims for the head with a rifle of some kind.

[Wisp]

Yes. Here are two examples.

 

1)

 

You're backed into a corner, zombies are less than four feet away. You're not gonna have time to aim for a headshot with an assault rifle at that range, much less aim for 10 different zombies mere seconds away, the best thing to do would be to just spray & pray at head level. If you're using high enough caliber bullets, they might even knock the zombies back a bit, or down, if you don't get their heads. You'll waste lots of ammo, but you'd have a better chance of surviving. Any time where zombies aren't on top of you though, semi is better.

 

2)

 

Raiders. Depending on the situation, full auto is good. At mid range it can be suppressing fire, at close range it can be spray and pray. At long range you'd be better off with semi-auto though.

For sit.1, the only time you could conceivably be in that sort of position is if you're either out scavenging or the base wall was breached. If you're out scavenging, you should have both medium/long range firearms and short range. A shotgun should be readily available, or even a good melee weapon. It shouldn't take 1-2 seconds to switch weapons, more than enough time if they're 6 feet away. Also, you should have some sort of close range weapon within arm's reach at all times in the base if you stockpile properly.

 

 

 

Sit.2 is the only good reason for full auto. Taking out humans is what it was made for. Why do you think all formal militaries carry assault rifles?

[deathdrow]

Are any of you going to have dogs or anything?

[Wisp]

Yes. Here are two examples.

I know in all the video games you can carry two primary weapons, a pistol, and a melee weapon. Not so much in real life. Switching weapons also takes time. A shotgun would have to go on your back if you had one, and then you would probably have to undo some catch with your hand to get it off you're back, swing it around, chamber the first round if not already done, then aim, then fire. That would take a minimum of 5-10 seconds. Situation 1 isn't just going to happen if the wall is breached or we're out scavving. It's not like all of us are going to magically appear at a base, when the planned one is hundreds of miles away from most of you. Also, on the topic of guns, they're heavy. A shotgun weighs anywhere from 7-15 pounds, which is heavy. The shells add a couple pounds to that too.

 

 

 

And in any case, if 10 zombies are at extremely close range, a shotgun is bad. You have to pump it each time, since I doubt any of us are gonna come up with an auto-shotgun, and that takes too long when they're on top of you. A melee weapon wouldn't do much good either.

Question 20 : Do you like these questions?

 

 

 

Seriously, though. Here is a test.

 

 

 

Question one: What happens if you are bit by a zombie? You go into a coma, during which the virus eats away at the frontal lobe of your brain, the zombie that will reanimate in a day will have no memory of it's past life, due to the absence of the frontal lobe.

 

 

 

2: Which of these weapons are best for pwning teh zombies?

 

 

 

A) Machine gun

 

B) Semi automatic

 

C) Flame thrower

 

D) Members of BAIT

 

 

 

3. True or false: The only ways to kill a zombie is to either destroy its' brain or de-capitate it? Destroying the zombie's brain will kill it, but it will still need to be disposed of (zombie incinerator pl0x?) and the virus will remain active inside the zombie for a small amount of time. Decapitating it will only neutralize the threat, the zombie is still alive and snapping, requiring a second blow.

 

 

 

4. What happens if you are bit by a zombie?

 

You become a zombie.

 

5. True or false: Zombies will attack you if an animal is with you

 

True. Zombies will attack regardless of weather or not there is an animal with you.

 

6. True or false: Zombies are blind

 

False, unless their eyes have decomposed.

 

7. Zombies feel pain

 

False. This is their greatest advantage over us.

 

8. What should you do if a zombie (who is unaware you are there) is nearby you?

 

 

 

A) Kill it

 

B) Take it hostage

 

C) Attempt to get as far away as possible without revealing yourself

 

A and C. If there is only one zombie, and you can kill it from a distance (to negate the risk of infection) you should kill it. If there are multiple zombies, or you are not able to snipe it, get away as fast as you can (walking fast, as running will tire you and you will still outpace it.

 

9. True or false: Zombies are edible

 

False. They are toxic, and you will die.

 

10. There is a cure for Solanum (zombie virius).

 

False. Immediate amputations are the only thing remotely considerable as a cure, and the patient will still need to be quarintined, as they are sucessful 10% of the time.

 

 

 

Meh. Answer it if you can.

[/hide]

 

 

 

Yay! Long, essay-style responses!

 

 

 

(no cheating).

 

 

 

We should have dogs if we're going to accept survivors, they were used in wwz to check people, but they'd have to be in cages, else they would rip your throat out.

 

 

 

Anyways, I thought blackdawn was the leader, and doom had the place.

 

 

 

Rememer, the zsg is required reading.

[Kiriyama]

We have 3 leaders.

 

 

 

Doom, blackdawn (who is now to be known as Lord Periwinkle) and myself.

 

 

 

I wouldn't call the ZSG required reading however, I think we brought up some, rather incorrect, points in it.

 

 

 

That being said, calling them the most likely type of zombie is outrageous.

 

 

 

With the definition of zombie being so varied now, with many types, I now believe that the Rage virus type zombies are the most realistic, rather than the Romero zombies.

Question 2 is just not fair, guys. Come on.

What would your answer be?

It's Lenin, what do you think it is?

[Lenin64]

I also love how the OP says to consider multiple zombie types, but for most of the thread the only type anyone would consider was the Romero type. Which is now acknowledged to be unlikely.

Are you guys still accepting new members? Because I just read the ZSG and I thougth I might be of help to you guys ;) Can I get a sig? :pray:

No thanks, I don't wan't an avatar because it makes everyone look so much much alike. I want my posts to be distinguishable. But a sig would be great.

A sig it is then, you can either have the generic one, or for the price of 1 internet hugz you can have a custom made one.*

 

 

 

*Offer available to any new or existing TZDF members.

You see a button labeled "START ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE"

 

Are we prepared?

A custom siggy would be great. I'd be fine with anything as long as it includes my name. Thanks in advance. *Hugs* (That felt really gay :uhh:)

HELL no. At least, I'm not. I have no guns in my house, no proper equipment, and no way to get out.

Well, I guess this is goodbye. Do us all a favor, and kill yourself before the zombies get to you.

I'm still better off than many of us, though. I have weapon experience on the off chance I can find one ;)
