I would move into the mountains with a group of people and create a remote and isolated base.

Weapons I would use...

  • Glock 9.
  • M-9 Beretta
  • Remington 1100
  • Colt 45.


Also, here would be my ...eh, open area weapons..

No offense, it's good info but quoting it would be an eye sore. I'm rather confused by how they don't explain any of that either, but you write too much. You make one hell of a ranter though, props on that.


None taken, however, I don't know why anyone would take offense to writing a lot. My above post is modest considering the types of discussions that are out there, especially from other forums. But I don't think we should derail this thread into that topic, so I suggest we drop it here.

Also, you can split a post up into multiple quotes if the post is rather large, and you can also quote multiple people. If you don't know how to do that, pm me and I'll gladly show you for your future use.

Romero knows a lot about zombies, but I find that even his version of zombies is second to the 28 Days/Weeks Later version. That's just my opinion, though. I greatly enjoy all forms of zombies and am an enthusiast when it comes to zombies in general, but many of the different types just seem really silly to me. And the idea of a decomposing, brain-eating zombie is kind of silly in itself. It makes for some really fun stories and games, though.

Edit:

Are those ornamental blades? I wouldn't trust an ornamental blade to do anything other than cutting food and opening mail. I've tested the durability of a fifty-dollar ornamental blade versus a fifty-dollar ka-bar knife and the ornamental blade broke right away, whereas my ka-bar was only dulled and scratched a bit, which was easily fixed with some sharpening tools and a few mothballs.

Yep, steer clear of those wallhangers. My sword is made of EN45 steel with a good heat treat and temper.

ps. Are you polishing with those mothballs?

Heh, if it was an expensive blade, I wouldn't even try to give it a rough polish. I'm not a swordsman, though, and instead spend my time cleaning my various guns rather than my cheap utility and hunting knives. Though, on occasion, I will sharpen and roughly clean them. For cleaing my ka-bar I use Simichrome or FLITZ polish. Usually, I'll just use steel wool, though, but I've got so many knives that are of various age, condition, and type, that I often just get lazy and use mothballs with some kind of random polishing paste or chemicals. For blades that have significant meaning, I'm more careful, though.

The Dagger is, the Sword, however , isn't. It is made of Carbon Steel, and cost $255 USD.

And yes , I do polish them. I buy a ton of mothballs so I don't run out. grin2.gif

Handgrenades. You've got to find a way to get some but you could lob them from the roof and make some "red mist." yes.gif

Shock and Awe tactics might work, like Fireworks, or Flash Grenades.

Always had terrible nightmares about being chased by thousands of zombies around the city all alone, then I run into a corner and find it a dead end. Then I just watch them walk to me slowly, growling and screaming, until one by one they grab a piece of my body, and then one zombie holds my neck with his hands and takes a big bite out of it.
Freaky...

Well, I'd probably start out with some kind of bolt action rifle, reliable, accurate. After I ran out of ammo I'd use a crowbar, if that breaks, I'll use a hammer. (Chainsaws are too loud and run out of gas) Sure, the hammer would be really short range, but if I broke a crowbar on zombies, I did my fair share and can die happily.

Any kind of weapon would be good enough for me.
But then depends on if they are fast or slow moving zombies.
And then you can always just blow them up with dynamite or
some sort of explosive.

Did you gather that from seeing it firsthand or from me describing it in my post as 'wooden' tongue.gif Lol luv ya buddy
It would still work as a weapon though,since almost all the weight is in the head,giving it an excellent amount of force,definitely enough to break bones or knock someone out.Plus,you feel braver with a giant axe(wooden or otherwise) then with a baseball bat thumbsup.gif

The reason alaska would be a good place to go isn't because of the cold so much as the fact that it's sparsely in-habited.Even the mountain ranges down in the first 48 states have ppl living in them,which means zombies,while most of alaska is wilderness.For this same reason northern canada would be just as good as alaska,if not better.Also,cold would have an effect on zombies,not because they have different bodies than 'normal' ppl(they don't) but because of a more obvious reason.What do you wear when you go outside on a cold day?Why do you where it?What would happen if you stayed outside in extremely cold weather for a long time without it?Now think...would zombies,who are basically cadavers being controlled by parasites,have the sense to wear those?Exactly.

P.S. Losing everything i love just would make me a better zombie slayer.Ever heard the saying "the most dangerous enemy is the one who has nothing to lose"???(if you haven't then...well...err...now you have)

A silenced M21 Rifle, sans scope, with a crowbar as a secondary is the ultimate zed killing package.
Yorgmiester
Carry as many weapons as you can without weighing you down,since you'll be running from them.Thus,I'd prefer long range weapons like a sniper rifle,so i can take them out from a distance whilst moving away from them.Also I'd carry a small,lightweight machine gun(MP5,Thompson),some nades,a shortsword,and several hunting knives,in case i am forced to do close combat.I'd also lay land mines anywhere that i knew they would pass.Don't ask me how I'd get land mines or learn the proper way to lay them.I don't know.Dynamite would work too,although in that case you would have to be there waiting for them,which would risk close combat.Remember,close combat with zombies,no matter how fun or heroic it sounds,is not what you want to do.Zombie tactics(or lack of) are basically surround you,overcome you with the sheer mass of their horde,then rip you apart.Once the first step is accomplished,you're basically dead.
