Kiriyama Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The fuel for good flamethrowers would be better used elsewhere. Plus, Zombies do not feel pain, do you want one to continue walking to you in order to give you a hug?

mmmcannibalism Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have been rethinking the flamethrower idea. The only way a flamethrower would be advisable is if it actually packs enough spray power to burn a zombie to the bone before it gets too close. While the power to burn zombies is useful, its only going to work if we can find or make a military grade flamethrower; both of which are unlikely to occur.

Kiriyama Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Go ahead Rocco. I mean, let us just forget the force required, and that zombies come in hoardes and it's a great idea. In the zombie apocolypse, we should be aiming to avoid confrontations with them, rather than killing as many as possible.

mmmcannibalism Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I say we just grab their heads and smash them against brick walls. Almost like this guy --> :wall: Or if fighting a single zombie, continue to run in circles around it until it trips trying to turn; then curb stomp him. /sort of sarcasm Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.

In the zombie apocolypse, we should be aiming to avoid confrontations with them, rather than killing as many as possible. Exactly why we should leave the cities to go to the wilderness. No one there and you can start a new life as a mountain man or anything... That's my plan, go to the mountains and hope I can last...and hopefully die from non-zombie related things... 99 FM Acheived on Friday December 26th 2008Click for my blog|Mass Effect Discussion Thread|Nation Creation/Create your own Country Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3_Crusader Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'd get an upstairs apartment complex and just chainsaw off the stairs. They can never get me :D Flame thrower would be pretty fun though, I'm not going to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenga Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'd get an upstairs apartment complex and just chainsaw off the stairs. They can never get me :D Flame thrower would be pretty fun though, I'm not going to lie. In the middle of the city they'd be constantly at your door, drawn to the smell. You'll have to restock sometime. Here's an idea though. Flies are drawn to rotting meat and lay eggs, so will the maggots eat the zombie little by little? does that mean we'll have zombie flies flying around? :ohnoes: Ponies!

Nenga Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 rocco what makes you think you can get a gun that early. Everyone will be thinking the same thing, to get a gun and as much ammo as they can. So if you can beat them all there and fight them all off while trying to keep the zombies at bay then take your guns. But i'd be best to get a makeshift weapon, make your way out of town, then after a few weeks go to restock and take the guns provided there are any left. Ponies!

I can picture a worst case scenario in which the melted zombie all squishes together to form a huge zombie-slime monster... thingy. What about... like... above ground level civilizations? Acid is good, but the fact that it is incredibly difficult to obtain and use safely, cancels out any positive qualities. The same goes for a flamethrower. It is a very useful tool, but there are as many, if not more, negative points to it. For starters, fuel. Fuel is not something you would find in massive quantities and is much more efficient if used elsewhere. Secondly, weight, now, I'm sure you know that flamethrowers are bloody heavy, and during a zombie swarm, the last thing you need is to be unable to run when the zombies(That could, by now, be on fire) are approaching. Thirdly, if the fire is not controlled, it would be difficult to make sure that your own team would stay safe. Controlling a fire started by a flamethrower would not be easy, due to the large range, plus the fact that zombies touching the surrounding area will also start fires, and throwing in the random nature of zombie movement, you could have a firestorm which will kill your entire team in no time at all. That, gentlemen, is why we will NOT be using flamethrowers. Also, by "above ground level civilisations" do you mean stilted houses and such? Because they are actually a very good shelter(zombies suck at climbing, depending on the angle of the thing they're trying to climb) If you could have a series of huts in the trees of a forest, it would make a very nice shelter, if they were all linked. But of course, this requires construction, and that is going to be a damn hard job, and, during the apocalypse, its going to be difficult to find some of the equipment needed (You try driving a crane through a town without zombies noticing you... :? ) I still prefer Doom's power plant as the TZDF HQ. Of course, if the plant gets taken, we always need backup plans. EDIT: Just noticed my rampant comma addiction... Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlzPuddngPlz Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm back from yet another camping trip, and have noticed the flamethrower debate has re-emerged again. I will now go dig out the ZSG from my basement. *rummages around* Nope, it's not there. *Rummages around my room*. Found it. THE FLAMETHROWER This device, perhaps more than any other, strikes people as the ultimate zombie eliminator. A jet of flame, two hundred feet long, composed of jellied gasoline, can turn an undead crowd into a wailing funeral pyre. So why not acquire one? Why not forsake all other weapons for this man-made fire-breathing dragon? The answers are as realistic as they are numerous. The flamethrower was developed purely as a military weapon and is no longer in service with the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. It would be difficult to find any model, yet alone one that works properly. Acquiring the fuel is even more difficult than the thrower. But assuming you can find both, you must consider its practical use. Why carry seventy pounds of equipment on your back when only a handful of ghouls are loose? A flamethrower's weight makes it a liability if you are on the move. Unless you are in a fixed position or have access to motorized transport, sheer exhaustion will become as dangerous a threat as the walking dead. Common sense would suggest that a flamethrower's place on the battlefield is against overwhelming numbers, swarms of undead numbering in the hundreds if not thousands. If such a horde were, heaven forbid, to exist, chances are that they would be facing a much larger, well-equipped government force rather than one private citizen and his trusty (and let's not forget illegal) flamethrower. *End discussion* Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it. Suggestions appreciated This guide is as concise as a gourmet's handbook with the guidelines of "Pick up fork, stab food, insert into your mouth, then chew".

Some states have laws restricting possesion of flamethrowers, but 40 states have no laws concerning flamethrowers. You can sometimes find professionally made flamethrowers being sold by private buyers online, some for as little as $300. Also, if you're unsure on how to use your new device, but you want the source of your advice to be bat**** insane, you could pick up Ragnar Benson's delightful read, Breath Of The Dragon: Homebuilt Flamethrowers, which we can only hope comes with a cellphone with the numbers 9 and 1 already dialed.

Mio Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Grab the 5ft Samurai Sword on my wall, and Run. Steal a car, Get down to the huntign shop in a town close to me and grab a few rifles, ammo and a few Scopes. Get down to Tescos and Rob some food (ALOT of Food) Water, energy drinks, Bandages, Paracentamol (Never know when your going to egt a headache ;D) And about 2000 Ciggarettes, and a mini pop up tent. Get onto the tallest buildings roof with everything that was in my car, Put my iPod speakers on with Loud Death Metal and start Sniping... Or Plan B: Become a zombie.
