Zombie Plans-Revised

[Nenga]

Wouldn't a high-voltage stun baton go well with those zombie shields that were earlier posted? I know that zombies can feel pain, but im fairly certain that the electricity causes the muscles to spasm, making the zombie colapse. Might be kinda usefull for close-quarters situations.

 

Takes double the normal voltage, therefore you'd need a huge battery.

 

Even the ones you can buy today cause the target to flinch/collapse (depending on where you shock them at).

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a 3 second zap with a taser can cause an adult male to lose consciousness, so it stands to reason that a 4-5 second zap would knock down a zombie.

 

The brain is controlled by electrical impulses (well most of the body is). So a direct shock to the head/skull/brain might temporarily disable them. I doubt it will last too long, maybe only a few minutes but long enough to smash the brain without fear of biting and will help conserve ammo. Keep in mind this is a theory and could be wrong.

 

This entire thread is theory For the time being, anyway

 

Yeah, it could be useful, and may help us use those woodchips a bit faster, generating electricity to shock zombies.

 

Can we build a giant tesla coil to shock zombies outside the powerplant?! Pleaseeee...? :pray:

 

No the shock would need to be directly to the head/skull/brain, which we couldn't guarantee with anything unmanned. Besides that if we arn't there to kill them we'll just be wasting the little power we have.

I know, just sounded awesome. On the subject of electricity, wouldnt a large dose of it kill any virus?

[alphaq]

If so, I am building a resistance to electricity over time and constantly running electricity through my body through some type of motion-powered generator as soon as I hear about the outbreak. Other than that, we could also probably build aimable tesla guns somehow--not as effective as tasers, but easier to get/make, and lots more fun, although they would be close-range weapons.

[Seraphi]

No.

 

Also, subjecting yourself to electricity to "build resistance" is not a good idea, it would probably only cause damage to your muscles and nerves....

 

Its not like a virus that you can build resistance to, its electricity. The human body is not designed to handle it, unlike it is designed to (try to) handle a virus.

 

 

 

 

 

Any dose of electricity capable of killing every virus in a human body, would almost surely kill the human as well. period.

[alphaq]

Even if the first idea doesn't work, would a tesla gun still be useful?

What if these Zombies are smart and can think and can use tactics to their advantages!?!?

Then we show them that we are much smarter.

 

 

 

On the whole zap the zombies thing, just implement it on shield, and have it so the positive charge is on one [bleep]e, and the negative charge is on another. that way when a zombie gets too close they get electrocuted which may give you time to kill them. For choice of shield I choose a S.W.A.T one. It may be heavy but it is designed to stop a lot of stuff, just figure out how to have a charge run through it if electricity is proven to work and we have some batteries of some form that have no other use.

[RayOxide]

They turned Ned kelly's helmet into a shield I see?

[Seraphi]

They wont.

 

Read the guide.

[Skull]

We can't just accept that the guide is right about everything. Because it won't be, and accepting it as such is just going to get us killed. Just use it as more of a work to base our plans off of.

[Seraphi]

Assuming zombies will be able to use tactics will uproot our entire plan.

 

Honestly, if zombies are smart, I'd rather shoot myself, as there is no way to survive(Assuming these smart zombies are fast as well, since its generally accepted that a zombie is either smart and fast, or slow and mindless)

[BlackDawn]

I'd shoot myself after ATTEMPTING to survive, if I end up getting surroudned, well, I bring down as many as possible before shooting myself.

Who decided Max Brooks was the official expert on zombie survival? What if he's just pulling this stuff out of his [wagon] and we end up dead because of it?

 

Who's advice should we follow then, hmm?

Nobody's. Because nobody knows. It's like having a Frenchman tell you the best way to use a rifle; he's not going to know, he's probably never seen one. We just have to observe them and figure out for ourselves the best way to survive.

[Seraphi]

The reason we follow the ZSG is because a lot of the points are realistically based.

 

Sure, nobody can be sure what will exactly happen, but I think Max Brooks does a damn good job of predicting it.

Lol nice analogy.

No. The man is a fool in thinking Romero zombies are the most likely.

 

 

 

I tell you man! Rage virus!

[Skull]

Any one seen "The Colony" on discovery channel? It's supposed to be like post-apocalypse survival. It's not zombie specific, and it takes place inside of a city which isn't a good idea when it comes to zombies and they get more scavenging opportunities, but there might be some good skills or ideas that can be taken from it, so I'm going to follow it.

The rage virus would be easy to survive. Even if it alters the human body, I doubt any would survive longer than a week due to dehydration. All you would need to do is fill some containers with water, get some food together and barricade yourself in your attic. My attic would be great considering it's the pull-down stair kind. All I'd need to do is lock it from above and nothing could get in. Hell, electricity wouldn't even go down in the two-three weeks an infection/outbreak would last, at least it probably wouldn't, so running water is still a possibility. I could just move my chest freezer to my attic, plug it in, and I'd be set on food for a month. Fill all the containers in my house with water and I'd be fine.

It will last alot longer than that, because the initial zombies will last a week, then whoever they infect will last a week, and the cycle will repeat.

 

Day 1 of outbreak - Person A is infected

 

Day 4 of outbreak - Person A infects Person B

 

Day 7 of outbreak - Person A dies

 

Day 8 of outbreak - Person B infects Person C

 

Day 11 of outbreak - Person B infects Person D

 

Day 14 of outbreak - Person B dies and Person D infects Person E

 

Day 15 of outbreak - Person D and Person C die

Not that long, because I think the initial burst of zombies will be not be able to sustain itself.

 

 

 

The zombies will turn most of the "unprepared's" and then all die four days later when there are much less people to choose from. I'd say the max length of a rage outbreak is 4-5 weeks.

 

Well here's to zombies which don't drink water.

No sense of self preservation?

[Seraphi]

Okay, so rage zombies are easier to survive than Romero zombies?

 

I'm not so sure I would go with that, but I will admit that they both have their pros and cons.

[Wisp]

The rage virus main outbreak wouldn't last more than a few weeks, as I said. After the first two weeks, all survivors will either be well hidden or barricaded, or out of the outbreak area. Even if a few people get infected after the main outbreak ends, the area in which the infection happened would remain deserted or quarantined until all infected were dead.

[BlackDawn]

Rage virus won't be too difficult to survive, once I catch wind of it I'll just hide in my attic with food and water supplies, like Doom. There's no way into my attic unless you have a ladder, so I'd be rather safe until the few weeks are up.
