Zombie Plans-Revised

[gauper_kid]

You see a button labeled "START ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE"

 

Are we prepared?

 

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 ;)

 

Oh crap, then I'm wayworse off than you are. :ohnoes:

I'm good if it starts, my basement/pantry is laoded with non-perishable food, enough to feed my family for around a month if we conserve. Plus my dad used to work in tons of different jobs, so we have stuff anywhere from maintenance kits, wrenches, to crowbars. As far as I know, we have 3 crowbars in our basement. Plus, tons of crap to barricade doors with.

 

I am pretty sure I would be set also, plenty of non-perishables, along with allot of very stupid deer around to hunt. Hopefully we will get a generator soon (for when the power goes out from storms). Also got a decent amount of firearms, and all the guys in the family have experience with them. Along with that my dad was a lieutenant in the Bulgarian military.

 

Also, Ill join the TZDF if you need someone that has decent experience with guns (hunting/target shooting).

Ad is always trying to be funny...

[ember3579]

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

It says explicitly in the ZSG that you should have at least a few different weapons on you for various purposes (melee, close range, mid/long range is good enough), so you should be prepared for that. Also, of course switching weapons takes time. However, just how long would it take for you to put down an assault rifle and snag your shotgun from your back? If you take time to practice, it shouldn't take longer than 2 seconds, including the time it takes to chamber a shell. As for your theory that full auto is better for keeping the zombies from getting at you, that might work to a degree. However, which sounds better, a veritable wall of lead with each trigger pull that tears chunks out of any organic object that's in the general area the gun's pointed at (decent shotguns use clips of some sort, so you should have a few shots before needing to hand reload), or a constant stream of low-kickback, mildly inaccurate bullets? Keep in mind that only a head shot will neutralize a zombie.

He is? I guess I havent been on tif for long enough. Anyways, my resume still remains.

[Guest]

Im going to clear up the gun thing once and for all.

 

 

 

It's one shot to the head for a kill on a zombie. The good thing about a semi is that you cannot be tempted to go full auto. Full auto is horrendous for killing zombies, because of the recoil. If your aiming for a small target (head) at 20, 30, or 40 feet away, even the slightest little kick in your gun could make you miss horribly. Never mind the fact that it is a complete waste of ammo. Even if there is 20 zombies... You can shoot plently fast on semi. It's not like they're moving fast.

 

 

 

Shotguns...Eh. You're better off with a semi, unless your cornered. It has a low kill range, so you have to get up close and personal, which defeats the purpose of a gun. However, it will knock a large amount of zombies back, so you can escape if cornered. And how stupid would you have to be to get cornered?

 

 

 

Best gun would be an assault rife (semi and automatic) IF you had the willpower to NOT go automatic. If we could get a shotgun front mount for one, it would insane. We need automatic for threats besides zombies, and having a shotgun can't hurt, though don't use it as your main weapon (unless it's all you got)

 

 

 

Oh, im working on a large zombie survival test ;)

The Zombie Survival Test

 

 

 

1. What is a zombie?

 

Depends, but generally it is a person who has been infected with a certain virus (various viruses have been shown) which takes over the hosts body, making them, well, a zombie!

 

 

 

2. How does one kill a zombie?

 

Again depends on which type of zombie you are dealing with, but something that destroys the brain of the zombie.

 

 

 

3. What happens if one is bitten by a zombie?

 

They become infected with the virus and have around 24 hours until they are zombified.

 

 

 

4. Sort these weapons from worst to best for zombie pwning.

 

 

 

Baseball bat

 

Trench [bleep]e

 

Katana

 

Baseball bat < Katana < Trench [bleep]e

 

5. If a zombie can see/sense you, what will it do?

 

It will come and try to attack you, and eat you.

 

 

 

 

 

6. If you see someone get bitten by a zombie, and the zombie is killed, is there any hope for the victim?

 

Nope :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

7. One of your close friends is zombiefied. What do you do?

 

 

 

A) Nothing, he'll reconise me and leave me alone

 

B) Try and contain it in a room, and hope a cure will be found

 

C) *ahem* HEADSHOT! edited-Let someone else do it for you

 

 

 

8. True or false: A zombie will not die if its' head has been cut off.

 

 

 

9. What will happen if an animal can sense a zombie?

 

I think the animal would run away or aviod it.

 

Scenarios (No right or wrong answers):

 

 

 

You are alone with a hunting rifle. You are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. You hear a zombie outside. You do not think it knows you are there, but it appears to be chasing another man. What do you do? Would probably go out and try to help the other person.

 

 

 

You have just heard there has been a zombie outbreak. You need to go, and you need to go NOW. You plan on heading to an island some 250 kilometres (about 100 miles) away. You can bring anything (I mean anything, as long as it is commercialy avaible, or otherwise a gun.) along with you. However, you cannot carry anything more then 10 pounds in your arms for any length of time, and no more then 75 pounds on your back. What do you bring?

 

Note: You DO NOT have access to any form of transportation other then walking. I would just stay in my house up in the mountains honestly, not really worth the mad rush.

 

 

 

Bonus question:

 

 

 

What is a voodoo zombie? Isnt that the kind where some crazy priest raises up the dead, or they cast a "spell" on someone, making them in a zombie-like state?

The Zombie Survival Test

 

 

 

1. What is a zombie?

 

An animated corpse that feeds on the flesh of the living. Created from the Solanum virus.

 

 

 

2. How does one kill a zombie?

 

Destroy the brains.

 

 

 

3. What happens if one is bitten by a zombie?

 

The Solanum virus is transferred. It will eventually kill the host, and the corpse will be reanimated.

 

 

 

4. Sort these weapons from worst to best for zombie pwning.

 

 

 

Baseball bat 1 (Worst)

 

Trench [bleep]e 3 (Best)

 

Katana 2

 

 

 

5. If a zombie can see/sense you, what will it do?

 

Move towards you, letting out a moan that will alert any other zombies within hearing distance.

 

 

 

 

6. If you see someone get bitten by a zombie, and the zombie is killed, is there any hope for the victim?

 

The infected part of the body must be removed, but there is only a small chance that this will be successful.

 

 

 

 

 

7. One of your close friends is zombiefied. What do you do?

 

 

 

A) Nothing, he'll recognise me and leave me alone

 

B) Try and contain it in a room, and hope a cure will be found

 

C) *ahem* HEADSHOT!

 

 

 

 

 

8. True or false: A zombie will not die if its' head has been cut off.

 

True, the head will continue to bite until dealt with in the proper manner.

 

9. What will happen if an animal can sense a zombie?

 

The animal will leave, or make noise? (Not exactly sure what the question is asking.)

 

Scenarios (No right or wrong answers):

 

 

 

You are alone with a hunting rifle. You are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. You hear a zombie outside. You do not think it knows you are there, but it appears to be chasing another man. What do you do?

 

Look to see if the man is well-armed, if he is then I'll lest him take care of it, but still keep close watch in case things go wrong for him, so I won't have TWO zombies on my hands. If he's completely helpless, I'll get as close to the zombie as I can without alerting it, then HEADSHOT!

 

 

 

You have just heard there has been a zombie outbreak. You need to go, and you need to go NOW. You plan on heading to an island some 250 kilometers (about 100 miles) away.

However, you cannot carry anything more then 10 pounds in your arms for any length of time, and no more then 75 pounds on your back. What do you bring?

 

Note: You DO NOT have access to any form of transportation other then walking.

 

Aww crap, can I just copy this one straight out of the book? :o That's what I'll do just not word for word 8-) I guess I would carry a hunting rifle and a revolver, with extra ammo for both. If its not too much extra weight, I'd also carry a machete. In the backpack there will be canned food, extra water, a hand pumped water filter, a sight for the rifle, 500 rounds for the rifle, 250 rounds for the revolver, first aid kit, ear plugs, and a bicycle-powered electric generator. (That one probably put me over the limit, didn't it?)

 

 

 

Bonus question:

 

 

 

What is a voodoo zombie? Umm.. I think it's a person who was exposed to that stuff that puts you into a coma. Everyone thinks they're dead, so they get buried. They wake up from their coma, and get unburied, the lack of oxygen from being underground causes brain damage, which is why they act like zombies.

[/hide]

 

Meh, I probably failed that last one. :cry:

[Guest]

You were close on the voodoo zombie part.

 

 

 

[hide=Answer to Voodoo]It is a person who has suffered imense brain damage, and therefore the virius cannot complely take over. He/she can feel pain, is aware of their surroundings and can sometimes talk.[/hide]

The Zombie Survival Test

 

 

 

1. What is a zombie?

 

A human infected with a virus or parasite, which causes them to lose control of their body and attempt to spread the infection.

 

 

 

 

 

2. How does one kill a zombie?

 

Destruction of the brain is the one way to truly kill a zombie.

 

 

 

3. What happens if one is bitten by a zombie?

 

Unless the bitten limb is amputated instantly, you will become a zombie in 20-24 hours.

 

The infection begins with a fever and dementia, then, after around 15-20 hours, the brain shuts down, and is rewired by the virus/parasite.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Sort these weapons from worst to best for zombie pwning.

 

 

 

Trench [bleep]e

 

Katana

 

Baseball bat

 

 

 

 

 

5. If a zombie can see/sense you, what will it do?

 

Begin moaning and walk towards you, it will then attempt to devour you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. If you see someone get bitten by a zombie, and the zombie is killed, is there any hope for the victim?

 

Unless the bitten limb was amputated instantly, no.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. One of your close friends is zombiefied. What do you do?

 

 

 

C) *ahem* HEADSHOT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. True or false: A zombie will not die if its' head has been cut off.

 

Wont die, no, the head will still be alive, and should be regarded as a very real threat.

 

 

 

9. What will happen if an animal can sense a zombie?

 

It will flee.

 

 

 

Scenarios (No right or wrong answers):

 

 

 

You are alone with a hunting rifle. You are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. You hear a zombie outside. You do not think it knows you are there, but it appears to be chasing another man. What do you do?

 

Hide, make sure my gun is loaded, and make sure not to give myself away, but watch the situation. If the man gets away and the zombie follows, just leave it. If the man gets mauled, kill them both.

 

 

 

You have just heard there has been a zombie outbreak. You need to go, and you need to go NOW. You plan on heading to an island some 250 kilometres (about 100 miles) away.

Note: You DO NOT have access to any form of transportation other then walking.

 

A trench [bleep]e, a crowbar, a crossbow with triangular tipped bolts, a large water bottle, Iodine tablets, A box of matches, the ZSG (Obviously :lol: ), a carpenters hammer, Armguards and shinguards, a set of gloves, ear plugs, and then fill the rest of the backpack with non-perishable food.

 

 

 

NOT ENGLAND: Substitute the crossbow for a hunting rifle with a scope and silencer, and add in a revolver, with about 50 rounds for each.

 

 

 

I would then try to find a like-minded friend to accompany me.

 

(I live in England, so my ability to obtain guns is severely limited...Damn govornment isn't as worried as it should be about zombie outbreaks.)

 

 

 

Bonus question:

 

 

 

What is a voodoo zombie?

 

A person who has suffered some kind of brain disorder created through some kind of herb or otherwise. Able to be controlled via suggestion, not very dangerous, as it is not an infection.

[/hide]

 

Damn the fact that I live in England.

 

Ah well, I think I did pretty well anyways.

Check it out, it'll be worth it, I know that the place near me has all kinds of bows and guns, no crossbow's as far as I can tell. You can build a gun there, so I can grab tons of spare parts and I think there was a carbine there. Also so many scopes! :D

Start stockpiling. We need others to bring us guns in case we can't find any.
