best defence against zombies, DO NOT believe!:P

I'd think the best weapon would be a semi-automatic rifle with a silencer. The problem with most guns is the sound will attract more zombies. So even if you're great with a gun, you'll get mobbed making accurate head shots unlikely and you'll eventually run out of ammo.

How has this got to 21 pages?

A semi-automatic rifle with a silencer and a pistol with a silencer too. Make sure the rifle is no smaller than a 30-30 round though. the 5.56x45 (or the .223 round) is a good all around round as well but 200 yard shots only. I'd go with a .270 or the 30-.06 round for range and power. Zombie's bodies are already decaying so if you were to shoot one in the head then you'd want that power to hit at least two more zombie behind of it. Also I'd carry a shotgun for those in a hurry CQC (close quarters combat) areas like the city. I mean you're gonna be spotted anyways with or without the silencers on your weapon due to the amount of undead in the area. So therefore shotguns with a six to nine round chamber are perfect there. But overall, and most people disagree with this, YOU MUST CARRY A KNIFE AT ALL TIMES!!! Never leave home without it. A good old hunting knife or combat knife is perfect. Pocket knife really isn't recommended but it that's all you got then have at them cowboy. Remember though, think strategically and work as a team. Working alone is good is you're on the run but in order to survive, eventually you're gonna have to work as a group/team to make it. There you go, if anyone has any questions about weapons though, please feel free to ask me. I know the zombie thing is only fake but it's always fun to think about, haha. Be good every one. Later.

I still think a moat of hydrogen peroxide would work well......

I would steal a tank from a military base. I know where some are and i know how to operate them. They have plenty of room for others. Room for ammo and food. Id have a main cannon for hordes and 2 heavy machine guns for when i need to stop to refuel or restock food. Id go for this as my main plan of action because if i got to the base there might be military presence in which case I'm safe if not then I could get my hands on anything i could need. Whats better then a mobile heavily armed fortress. There wouldn't be anyway to buy anything unless you knew it was going to happen and unless it popped up in multiple places at once the government would quarantine it and sanitize the area with high explosives and fire bombs.

Zombies are dumb. They can't walk up stairs unless they learn, which would be very random and not happen all too much. They can't start fires, so the only time a flaming zombie comes after you is when a stupid human decides to set them on fire. They're alive by basic instincts alone. Using loud weapons attracts more, because hearing is arguably their best sense. If their blood gets in your mouth, eyes, ears or nose, you're going to become one of them. If knocked over, they most likely can't get up, so be prepared for zombies that are essentially "playing dead." Zombies are not actually the living dead; in a realistic scenario they're infected with a disease that is easily transmittable. The only ways to kill them and be sure of their death is to destroy the head or the heart. This can be messy. Blunt force would work, but if you're close enough to hit them, you're close enough to be bitten or get their blood in your body. Above all, zombies move slow. Possibly half as slow as a baby who has just learned how to walk.

Using all of this, things you probably do not want to use on zombies are:
  • Hatchets, Knives, Swords
  • Chainsaws, Saws
  • Baseball bats, Blunt objects
  • Non-silenced weapons; A qualifier being unless you have plenty of ammo
  • Fire

I would probably use these:

At present, I only have the Jericho 941 (I love it to death, best pistol I've ever used), but my friend is going to be getting a license to import some automatic weapons, so I'll just use what he said he's going to get after the zombies come. He's close enough that I could get to his house without being eaten alive, zombified, etc. The M16A4 Sniper was my favorite of the guns he's going to order, and in the configuration he's got it in it can be semi-auto or fully auto, so yeah. Good for zombie hunting from the roof of my house.

Zombie invasion is my favorite doomsday scenario because it could actually happen as in I Am Legend or likewise, but a nuclear war would work too, provided I wasn't killed or maimed in the first wave. Sure, the radiation after kills, but it's all good.

The easiest way to deal with a zombie epidemic is blame it on somebody or something,like terrorists,hilary clinton,global warming,or rising gas prices,and then sit back on your haunches,eat some potato chips,and wait for the government to take care of it for you wink2.gif
And if that doesn't work,what the hey,file a lawsuit against the zombies.Sue them for all they're worth!

At least,that's the typical american way of doing it tongue.gif
TehGrant
You made this to easy.... A stockpile of B-2's and plenty of missles ranging from 500pounders to those ones that burst into flames when they hit. 5Nukes to finish them all off.

Try locking yourself up in a school, board the windows, hide int he kitchen!

Keep you semi-auto close.

Hmmm. I was thinking. Why not play Paris hilton's album on full blast. While the zombies are clawing at thier ears you can make a run for it.

C-4 Plastique with Detonators is a never fail Zombie Repellent, just make sure you wear a rain slicker and bring a huge umbrella…

Or you could load up on weapons, barricade the house, go to second story and shoot zombies from there. When the coast is clear, you could leave for supplies and et cetera.
LightningMunk
trick with that is if fires start in the lower level of your house and could take down the house

best defense i think is finding some basement/bunker to lie low in with food and supplies, and then getting enough supplies to head north to the cold
NeoGenesis
Can always stay and defend you town or position with a few friends and men in a building of multiple stories by using a combined attack with any weapons Rifles,Small Arms,Machine pistols and If you a machine gun available.Concentrated combined fire -I would really want to see a horde zombies get through that.

Clubbing Zombies like Baby Seals...
First place a huge sign Neon Sign upon the front door stating ZOMBIE PARTY enter here...

Zombies frighten a lot of people, and mostly the week of mind, I stand up to all and everything in live and in death, I say when they are trying the front door you go out the back door, then around to the font and disguise yourself as one of them, and standing there next to them as they redundantly try the door knob, say hay buddy, and when they turn to look at what’s up, yah go pippin’ un in their ugly skull like Intuits upon baby seal hunt, knocking then off guard, then yah swing again like the Dude in the Movie Signs, taken out their knee caps, hay even Zombies have knee caps Baby, and then there lots to eat and the food supply just keeps coming right up to your door and never runs out, hay it's tuff thinking out side of the Box but somebody’s got to do it or we will all be party weenies and cheese dip for the Zombie party…

Not even a good remake.

Zombies could theoretically exist, though not as the undead who eat flesh. More likely it would be along the lines of rabies, only hugely viral. This could create what you could call zombies that are really stupid and bite stuff. But the living dead? Nah. Not a chance.

What weapons are the best for killing a zombie?

What is a zombie: A zombie is a reanimated human corpse. A zombie is a dead person that is brought back to life through a curse (voodoo, necromancy) or a mutation and has recovered some vital functions like movement.

They are near-mindless, possessing little reasoning power, though many can perform "remembered behaviors" from their mortal existence.

Zombies are omnipresent in the folklore of Haïti, where they are created by voodoo, an african type of black witchcraft. More recently, zombies films have exposed new theories according to which man-made virus or genetical experiments are held responsible for the creation of zombies. Such films put a strong emphasis on flesh and blood : rotting bodies and their attendant maggots, as well as the still-warm gore resulting from savage, often cannibalistic attacks upon the living.

So I ask which weapons are best against zombies?


seriously !!!!!
what planet do you live on where you would need to know how to kill ZOMBIES.................... Come back to Earth its much safer !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extinction
Well, if we're talking Zombie Survival guide Zombies, I'd retreat to Copper Canyon and stay there with a Desert Eagles, .22 Rifle, Shotgun, and a Katana.

A cricket bat is best, obviously.

Anything with limited usage (ammo) is just delaying your death tongue.gif

So if I'm taking out zombies with an AK-47 (example, I'd really be using a Jericho 941 in .40 cal and an M14A1 sniper) and run out of ammo, I can't just beat the hell out of them with the AK?

I'd say a car. At least, that's what works best in Dead Rising. Just run them over... what's the problem?

lol i cried when sam died


A silenced pistol and a Titanium Crowbar.

The crowbar is light and practical when on the run.

The silenced pistol can dispatch ghouls without alerting the others nearby.

OK so it matters greatly on the type of zombie we are dealing with here but lets go with the slow, shambling zombie. Lets start out with melee for close combat I think the Trench Spike which is a tough,dagger type blade and the handle is brass knuckles. Well for long distance melee i sugest either a crowbar which you can do a lot with like pry boards and a assortment of other things, Another weapon would be a Real katana not a fake 50 dollar one and also the monk blade which is a spade shaped blade at one end and a cresent blade at the other the final melee weapon would be the machete but try and find one with a blackened blade for night concealment. For primary the firearm I suggest would be a semi automatic rifle Probally the World war 2 m1 garand For hand to hand combat purposes because of the bayonet. For armor worth I would suggest tight cloths short hair.
