Zombie attack, fool. Bam.

Chad, you're taking this way seriously.

He's not. If he was, he'd be talking more about water purification, gardening, fishing, canning/smoking, and his collection of hand powered tools than guns and cars.

Get some non-perishables and attempt to get self and loved ones out of high population urban areas. Guns are good for weapons, but because they're noisy and attract the curious undead its also good to have a good blunt weapon lie a bat or crowbar. If forced to remain in city, find a place that is securable like a large box store. Avoid places like hospital and police department where scared people and the infected will likely head to.

You're probably going to need to defend that airport, or your corner of it, from other refugees if not zombies. I wouldn't count on being the only one with that idea. You might want a long gun of some sort for that.

Do you have a want list for those gun stores, or just looking to grab whatever grabs your attention when you get there?
I'd be more concerned with 4 wheel drive and the ability to go over/around obstacles than speed. There's going to be a lot of cars and/or debris on the roads, and someone can pop the curb or go offroad with an SUV or truck while your fast car is stuck.

Yeah, I thought about that too, but I'd be willing to share/protect refugees so long as we all agreed that once bitten, they get a forehead full of lead. And I'm counting on defending myself from zombies.

Yes - all of the mags that fit my pistols, a couple of shotguns, and then something with some reach like a .338 Lapua or even a .300 RUM. An assault rifle would be nice, but I'm not really expecting much to be left. Shotguns will be for HQ protection and the rifle will be for the times when I need to thin things out from a distance when I don't nec need to make myself vulnerable until I want to.

I thought about the 4w thing, but honestly I'm not going to be picky. I am, however, not going to assume how fast the little buggers are. In my novel, most of them are not very fast, but you never know - they don't feel anymore.

I hate these Mega64 videos....they film these actually really really close to where I live in San Diego, and it kinda ruins the whole "the video games are real!" vibe when you know where they are filming it.

Sometimes I'm kinda shocked that I never ran into these people in person, especially since I was definitely living in San Diego (in the area where these are all filmed, especially) all the time during when they first started making these.

I have nothing left to say to you, sir.

Good day.

Hmph.

As a proud owner of the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, and a devout Resident Evil (GAMES. NOT FILMS.) fan, I feel I am adequately prepared for a zombie attack.

I'd take my family and a few close friends (With food, of course) to a local office block, and secure one floor, I'd make sure it has a bathroom, then seal off the stairs below by either filling them with desks and junk, or destroying them, if possible. Then I'd disable the elevators, and we'd be safe. Then just fill up all recepticles with water, try and get up to the roof if possible, and make a sign (There's bound to be ink in an office block to pain the roof with) showing there are survivors inside. Then play the waiting game.

If no rescue comes... well, that's a different story...

 

[SweetDee]

Lol loving the answers guys! I definitely know who I am tagging along with if the zombies attack!


Also. Girls. Don't rely on just then men! What would you do?

I will post mine latah...work is always getting in the way of Zombie annihilation conversations.

Give me a grenade and a baseball bat. I think I would play it dawn of the dead style and take over a mall and do everything I can to secure it. I would get all the packed boxed up food I can and take it to the roof too in case zombies get loose in the mall, I can just take it to the top and hang for awhile.

why a bat instead of a gun you ask? Bats never run out of ammo

Oh and if I have anyone with me, it will be 1-2 people tops. Any more than that and it's just a guarantee that one of them is going to get bitten and it's going to be really awkward as they start turning into a zombie.

 

[Tehchad]

Ayersy would be one of my meetings along the way to getting my family.

 

[Allen1901]

Zombie Squad. We make dead things deader!

Well, shucks.

ty sir! I'm gaining inspiration!

 

[Cute Tink]

Love it

 

[Sketcher]

Food, water, and a baseball bat. Maybe a bike. If I'm stuck with my own two feet, I don't plan on lasting that long since I don't do cardio.

 

[Deacon]

Zombies suck...Deacon rules....nuff said.

Oh and I'd bring my collection of guns....and all the ammo I could get my hands on....target practice is fun.

OK the bolded part made me I must go check my etiquette handbook to check what the correct procedure should be in this scenario...

LOL! That's what I'm talkin' about! I want them on speed dial. That can be my plan

 

[ifightdwagons]

I remember seeing shoes that let you run on water, maybe if I got good at it I'll just run till i am old.

 

[Blackguard_]

.target practice is fun.

Not only is target practice fun, it's also vital before the Zombie Apocalypse begins.

Helpfully, some people have made targets to make practicing zombie head shooting easier...

 

[Nomarga]

It really depends on the zombies and the method of infection. Resident Evil type zombies (slow walkers) are fairly easy to avoid and as such you probably don't need to rely on guns for protection, unless you're being overwhelmed. 28 Days Later type zombies though... find an island and wait it out because holding out on land is going to suck!

Nice plan.
Why can't zombies swim, wouldn't they just be able to float in a general direction/trudge along and eventually find their way everywhere. Would they bite sharks and create zombie sharks. Would zombie issues be zoonotic, would it be best to try and survive in a hot air balloon and land only when needed, or live off a sea boat that can be pointed towards land whenever you need to ravage some islands for monkeys and what not, zombies are strange

It depends on what zombies you're looking at. In some zombie movies, the zombies can swim (and hide in water, where their prey is less mobile). Same thing with cross-species infection. In the Resident Evil narrative, it seems any animal could be infected with the T-virus, whereas in the new Dawn of the Dead, the animals were completely ignored by the zombies/infection. /shrug
