In the event of zombie attack, what gun would you want at your side? Also, what other auxiliary gear would you try to obtain?

Personally, I think I would want a Browning Hi-power with a bunch of ammunition. A fire axe would also be pretty handy.

[keederdag]

The P-35/bHp was used to good effect against Zombies in "life force". Another good brit Flick.

Me, I gotta go with a 12 guage pump, a good 1911 .45 and an early M-16 (ya know, it traditional to slay Zombies with M-16 A1's):D

[keederdag]

Oh ya, and a Lawnmower; worked great in dead alive!:D :D

[Chris Rhines]

Well, the first thing you need is a shopping cart... :D

[Ol' Badger]

Question? These Zombies only die with head shots right?

Why a 12ga and not a .22 with one of those 50rd teardrop mags in lets say a Ruger 10/22? I could carry more ammo then right?

Maybe a Chainsaw too! Also I'd save a cute girl from her Zombie boyfriend and we will hold up in the Matress dept.

:D

[El Tejon]

Shopping cart? Chris, is that for all your magazines?:D

I saw Night of the Living Dead or whatever as a kid. Those movies never frightened me. "Why don't they just use their guns?":confused: Never understood Hollywierd, must think we in the provinces are all a bunch of panicked sheep or something.

I'd want a couple of flamethrowers, plenty of gasoline, road flares and a bunch of buddies with shotguns. Maybe something like a 113 track, or those IFVs with the big tires (8 wheels I think) from Dutchland or Suid Afrika. Tow a trailer full of ammo for the M2.:D

On second thought, I want something wheeled like those Dutchie things. Better road speed. Can you hook a trailer to them? Anybody know? Maybe Marko the Moderator? Maybe he was LPC though?

I'd use the same for bears.

[Chupacabra]

That's easy.

Double barrell 12 gauge shotgun.

Chainsaw

[keederdag]

Gimi some sugar Baby.:D

[Combat-wombat]

I'm thinking I'd want an AK-47. Larger cartrige than AR-15/M-16, Better for zombies. Unless they were wearing body armor.

[Wildalaska]

Guys, guys you aree all off base...zombies attack em masse and are very slow...you cant carry enuf ammo to get em all,and its impossible to head shoot em with the AK 47s ya guys have (and the way you shoot:neener: )..

Nope old WA is waaaaay more experienced in Zombies than any of you (I went to Haiti once)...Im taking one of them them tanks or bulldoxers with the chain flails in front used for clearing mines...they were actually designed for mass zombie mashing, but the army has put them to altrnative uses...

WildknowitallAlaska

[Black Snowman]

Something capable of dis-membering would be good. I'm thinking 10 guage or a CAWS. Anyone remember the Close Assault Weapon System program? Made a twitchy full auto 12 guage with a 20 round box mag. Or the fantasy 5 barrel rotory chaning-gun 12 guages from Split Second. They're a little big though.

White phosphorus grenades. Need lots of the Willie Petes. CBUs of all shapes and sizes dropped from an A-10 or B-52 would be good too. Fuel air bombs are another good one. If I'm stuck on the ground make mine an M2 Bradly :)

[Oracle]

Just wear you some good plate armor, or something that the zombies can't chew through. It's not like they have longbows or firearms, so as long as they can't bite you, you're good.

Then just get a big ol' axe or sword, and start choppin'.

[son of a gun]

I would freeze them with liqiud N2 and shatter the into thousands of pieces.

[Crimper-D]

Kinda like a powermower with an ATTITUDE! Back it up with anything with hicap mags and several dogsleds of ammo.
Anyone know if a watergun full of Holywater would work on Zombies?:D

[Tag]

I love these threds :D

I'd have my trusty G17 w/ about 10 stardard cap. mags, ono of those black synthetic M1A's w/ lot's of .308, and my SRKW Battle Rat.... maybe a good spear as well.

I think a pistol would be the ideal "anti-zombie" tool, given the zombies slow speed and very limited attack range. M1A to clear a path, G17 to clean up.

[BenW]

Ol' Badger hit it. A .22 rifle, just like giving head shots to eatin' cattle. Add super-duper capacity magazines and a low power scope or red dot.

...And maybe a Katana for up close and personal beheading. :)

[Chris Rhines]

Kirk - In order to understand my answer, you first must see Dawn of the Dead. But yeah, a shopping cart full of magazines (or linked ammo for the M134) would be nice, too. :D

- Chris

[Rogelio]

A very low yield nuckear bomb...hahaha!! And preferably, one that I can activate 100 miles away!!!

Also, some plate armor like Oracle said..and a very bad a$$ knife!! If they can´t bite, I will show em who is top dog in my town!

[MAKOwner]

Every gun-nut who says "why don't they just use their guns" when watching zombie movies needs to watch Dawn of the Dead. Best zombie movie eva!!! Little campy being made in the 70s I take it, but the remake that is being made should be ever better...

Anyway, I'd use a Saiga 12 gauge along with a 5.45 caliber AK if I coudl procure the ammo, a standard 7.62 model if not, and a good hicap pistol. I think the shotgun would be very useful for larger groups of zombies, remember you don't have to kill them with a headshot, their mobility is limited/zilch after you blast them apart pretty good with a shotgun giving you time to escape or whatever... Finish the immoblie ones off at your leisure with your pistol if they're in your compound and might pose a slight threat/annoyance (I'm thinking a Mall like in Dawn...) I think I'd snag something like a scoped M1A for longer range headshots from a safe position too. Oh yeah, and you gotta have a melee weapon, I think a nice Katana would work, how about a repro of the Highlander sword. What better to behead zombies with? lol...

[Tag]

how about a fire hose? :cool:

[Cosmoline]

The gauge is the only way to go with rotting zombies. Make mine a Mossberg 500.

Also a propane blowtorch.

[Gabe]

A 12 guage and a Bugei Katana.

[Tag]

Ok, F350 w/ snow plow, M40 mounted in the bed, rem. 870, M1A, my G17, and two trusted friends outfitted as they saw fit :D

[Geech]

Give me a 12 Gauge, molotov cocktails, and a crowbar. (I'm a Half-Life fan)

If I could have absolutely anything I wanted, I'd go for a Hummer with an M2 on top.

[Moparmike]

Type 3 Phaser Rifle on level 16. Why shoot them and have something to clean up? Lets vaporize all your needs.:evil:

If no phasers, then an AC-130 gunship. Or a 40mm Bofors.:cool:

[gearbox]

Less lethal 12 gauge rounds that fire Beanie Babies

[PzGren]

You would have to go to l'Artibonite if you dream of this adventure.

A Zombie dies like any man, just has been robbed of his conscience. They are no fiction, They are not evil ghosts but slave-workers.

Li la , m'n di u ca. M'n connai.

[Brian Dale]

Oh, sure, bring reality into it! :evil: :D Then I'll take an 870 and a fire axe.

{Edited to add: seriously, for a slave-worker with brain damage or pharmacogenic psychosis due to the psychoactive or toxic effects of - what is it, a species of Datura that they're poisoned with? Three or four big paramedics, an ambulance and a well-staffed hospital for the guy}

Movie zombies? A flamethrower, an 870 and a wood chipper. And a fire axe (and a fire truck, if I'm using a flamethrower).

[Rogelio]

I'd be pleased to take them out of their misery...Just gimme lots of ammo!!

BTW...I love this thread!

[Aikibiker]

My USP45c, why? Because I know I can make headshots with it. That and as much ammo as I can carry and still run with. Maybe a khukri as well for taking off limbs and heads at close range.

Let me get my Saiga set up the way I want it and get some practice in and I will switch to that. With as much ammo as I can carry and still run.

Of course I am gonna be running down to the local national guard armory to steal something heavily armed and armored.

[DMK]

Nothing less than Ma Duece to mount on my Wrangler's rollbar.

Maybe a CZ-97 for a sidearm.

[gearbox]

Nobody has mentioned sharks with freakin' laser beams attached to their heads! :scrutiny:

[Nightcrawler]

Indeed, this is a topic of interest for many of us. (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19502) :D :D :D

[Mark Tyson]

Don't you kill zombies by burning them? Incendiary ammo, then, in an appropriate caliber.

[PzGren]

Stay happy Bob, in your protected world. I have seen tough man in Haiti fear the very word. I laughed at them, too. I not only learned Creole but to respect them. A man comes in many colours, not just white.

The Serpent and the Rainbow is a good book for those of you that want to really learn something about this subject. Judge with knowledge, not with ignorance, or arrogance.

[12-34hom]

Is this the kiddie channel?

I know, lets merge this thread with some type of story of a HUGE frothing wild bear attacking helpless women and children............:neener:

In the event of zombie attack...

I'm going sell tickets and watch this bunch. Some of this stuff I ain't believing! I've got WildAlaska over there...uh oh here comes Sam to clean up! Rest of this bunch...not real sure what is going on. :D :D

[Brian Dale]

PzGren, I apologize. I've heard of this, and my apology is heartfelt. Believe me or don't when you read this: I edited my earlier post before I read your post above this one, which begins with "Stay happy Bob, ..."

{Edited to add: read my additional note above if you want, or don't.}

You tell me in your post above that A man comes in many colours, not just white. Respectfully, that's a cheap shot. I won't respond further to it. You direct me (us?) to Judge with knowledge, not with ignorance, or arrogance. That's what this board is about.

I stand by my belief that this thread is about fictional characters, in movies. Nobody here advocates shooting poisoned captives.

[Brian Dale]

Further grumping: Grey54956, the thread originator asked, specifically, In the event of zombie attack, what gun would you want at your side? Attack. PzGren, if I am attacked - not merely approached, but physically, violently attacked (note the word "attack" in Grey54956's post: it begins this thread and sets the conditions) - whether it is by a "zombie" of either kind, by a nun, by a bank robber or by a bank president, then my chances are best with that 870. Li la , m'n di u ca. M'n connai. You've known - what - about this there?

[keederdag]

Easy Bob, All us in the know (you included) are speaking of a seriouse Zombie threat here. Any THR Member who has not seen the Romero Trilogy must....MUST imedeatly sally forth to the Video store and rent them. After veiwing them in their intirerty; you will intellectually grasp the intricacies of the "Grey Zombie Question". Personally, I find the zombie situation apalling. Such undereducated postering; NO you cannot use holy water; No they do not have head mounted lazers; Li la.. Huh? Speak American man! WE MUST all pull together to face this impending threat.

By the way, saw House of the Dead today, UUUghgh what a stinker, Straight to video. Lot's of boobs, lot's of guns, and halfway through the movie everyone suddenly remembers their Kung Fu and advanced Combat Training. Poor Romero...Poor..poor Romero:D

[The Silver Bullet 1719]

Guns, we don't need no stinkin' guns. I say we volunteer the help of Diane Feinstien, Tom Diaz, Chuck Schumer, the Klintons, Sarah Brady, Ted Kennedy, and other antis to form a Total Zombie Ban. The Ban will effecte all zombies with high-capcity forms of decapitation (over 6 teeth). Instead of using violence we will use effective forms of communication to persuade the zombies to return to their state of the dead. All in the name of the children. :neener:

In the meantime, we can just lure the zombies to the building where this anti-zombie law-making process is and let them loose, and clean-up after the zombies give their answer.

[Mike Irwin]

Gun?

Try flame thrower.

You've been watching too much Serpent and Rainbow...

[keederdag]

Ya know on that note, I don't think I have ever seen a flame thrower used in a Zombie movie. Ive seen e'm chainsawed, chopped up, lawnmowed to pieces, shot, run over, crushed, set fire to but never flamethrower'ed. Note to self " when your stalking George Romero next time, whisper something about that to him, before you threatin to kill his cat, for not making another zombie flick". THANKS MIKE:D

[powertoast]

Zombie attack? In the early '90s, while in law school, I lived alone for 3 years in one small room in the back of a funeral home. Right next to the casket room, and directly over the embalming room. I could hear the embalming machine chugging away late at night. Down the hall were the two viewing rooms. The funeral home did about 300 visitations a year, so there were always several dead folks there with me. Usually two in the viewing rooms, and 2 or 3 right below me in the embalming room. Mostly old folks, but young people die too. Car wrecks, gun shots, etc. I saw everything. Saw one guy who was hit by a semi and his head was smashed flat like a pancake. Trust me, it got plenty creepy at night.

All I had was a K-frame .357. I convinced myself that a couple of pops in a zombie's forehead would give me enough time to dive out a window or something. Seriously, having that K-frame gave me a little peace of mind living in that place. Not much, mind you, but its better than going hand to hand with the un-dead. Just thinking about living there makes me shiver.

[SteelyDan]

Sigh...

You don't want to kill them, at least right away. First, get them all together, and sell them on the benefits of whole life insurance. Sign them up, send the policies into the company, and collect your commissions. Then toast 'em. You won't last too long with the insurance company, but it's a great summer job. That's how I put myself through college.

[Dionysusigma]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Sidearms: 2 1911s, a .454, a G18, and... an UZi or three :D
Shotguns: Saiga 12, buckshot & slugs; and a 10ga SxS for style ;)
Rifles: Mebbe an AK, 12 75-rd drums, a Thompson M1, and a .50 for the heck of it
Also: Browning 1919 (with tracers, of course) and a coupla boxes of grenades

Add at least 2,000 rds for each gun, a good mount up on the roof for the 1919, and a comfy chair.

(and a set of earplugs too :uhoh:

[Brian Dale]

Welcome to THR, powertoast! I agree with you that having a nice K-frame nearby can be an effective antidote to a bad case of the creeps.

SteelyDan, you put yourself through college selling life insurance policies to zombies? Boy, people on this board sure do have a lot of remarkable experiences to share.

[Dorian]

I think a suit of Plate, a benelli M3 with slugs, a 7.62mm HK G3 with 75 round drum mags(if you can't get drum mags for the HK, then an AK), a HK USP Match .45, a katana and a kukuri.

In lieu of a Katana, I could go with a Longsword and a good shield.. riot shield perhaps? I do so love co-mingling the ancient with the tactical!

The Kukuri would primarialy be used to chop all limbs off after each kill.

Hopefully lower level zombies give enough xp so that my melee skills with the katana(or longsword) would increase significantly.

[keederdag]

dionisus: You Are the Omega man! but I think he had an M-2 on the roof by his comfy chair:D

[Dr.Rob]

Ya'll know how serious I am about zombies aliens and mutant bikers.

I will state, for the record that this is a place for shotguns to shine. Nothing splats the shuffling dead like a snoot full of double-ought buck shot. Ya'll should keep some handy.

As for flamethrowers, they do tend to be a might indescriminate, unless you are say, clearing a street or large open space. In this event I recommend mounting the flamethrower on a vehicle. Somthing with 6 off road bulletproof tires and good ground clearance.

Now as for sidearms, you should pack whatever pistole you shoot best, but this is another category where hi-capacity rules the day. BHP with a 35 round USA magazine is just FINE for this kind of situation.

Me? I'd be packing more heat than Chuck Heston in the Omegaman. And perhaps a boarding cutlass.

[Brian Dale]

Ooooh, a boarding cutlass! Nice touch.

[Andrew Wyatt]

zombies are best hunted like turkeys. as such, a 21 or so inch barrelled shotgun with extra full choke firing a nice dose of sixes should do it.

[Holly76201]

Well, Obviously y'all haven't been reading any Laurell Hamilton books. She is a necromancer, or zombie raiser for the unitiated. Her canon is that even after being separated from the rest of the body, Zombie pieces will continue to attack you. Therefore I want a flamethrower and a propane tank to make sure I can mow down the entire tribe of zombies.
And to whoever asked...holy water is only for Vampires, and then it only frightens and scars them, doesn't kill them unless you immerse them in it til they are ashes, but more on Vampire killing in my NEXT thread

[CMcDermott]

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned a Calico yet. Though I'd prefer one in 40 S&W instead of 9mm or 22. Still, 50 or 100 shot magazines have to be a blessing in the Zombie killing fields.
Or how about a 1921 Thompson with a bunch of "C" (100 round) drums? They could be set to semi-auto fire for the required head shots, right?

[Dr.Rob]

Well you can't bash a zombie's teeth in with the handguard of a katana now can you?

[Labinnac]

Haven't any of you ever played Diablo?

Blunt weapons do more damage to the undead versus edged weapons!

Use the ol' "Bop em 'n' stun em then run like hell" technique.

Maybe a nice polearm or staff with some reinforced impact points would be best. Either that, or a single steel mace and a sturdy shield. Maybe a pair of maces..?

Blunt all the way though. Cripple them and leave them in a heap which can be safely ignited later. If you use a blade, you end up lopping off stuff that may be able to crawl away and hide. That's no good. You want to be able to keep them where you drop them.



Method of zombie neutralization:

Wear a mask covering your face. Rubber suits are cumbersome but if you get zombie ick on your bare skin you'll wish you had one. A bright colored cape and jumpsuit isn't really helpful, but denotes you as one of the "good guys" to other non zombies.

1.) Break one leg. Don't matter which, they're slower than you. Use a long heavy stick with a hard sweeping motion aimed at the knee. If you're strong enough, you can break both legs with one swipe. If so, skip #2.

2.) Break other leg. They're on the ground and helpless, drop the long stick and use a hammer, axe handle, baseball bat, etc, to break the other leg. Break it at the knee as well.

3.) Use weapon of choice to break the arms at the elbows as the now prone zombie tries to crawl toward you. Getting them from the side as they reach for you is very effective.

4.) Use weapon of choice to now pulverize the hips and shoulders. This renders the zombie virtually immobile which is our initial goal.

5.) use weapon of choice to smash the head and torso. Do so until the mass is left quivering. If it appears it can still move around, beat it some more. You can never be too sure.

6.) Acquire a supply of flammable liquid and soak the zombie thoroughly. Leave a trail of fluid off and away from the zombie for at least 25'. This will act as a fuse and is very important.

7.) Drop a match on the end of the fuse trail opposite the zombie. Then run like hell away from the fire. You don't want to breathe that smoke. It isn't harmful but it tastes and smells really bad.



For multiple zombies, deal with them the same way. Try taking them down one at a time. Make sure to keep count, you don't want any getting away.

[keederdag]

Lab; No this is absolutly non-Romero, and I for one will have nothing to do with your brutal Zombie dealing methods. Give me my BOOMSTICK and chainsaw every time:D Holly; I tried to read Laurell H. and was having fun, untill she turned it into a Gay-threesome Sopeopera....YUCK...PPTTTTOOOIEE....BARF. What is it with these chicks; keep the gay sex lovin vampires out of my Zombie fiction.:barf:

[jercamp45]

Now i gotta go buy some more ammo at Wally's world!!!
And I am getting ready to got to the Vegas gunshow in a couple of weeks...so, foremost on my mind when shopping the aisles of wood, steel and polymer will be.....would this be anygood for zombies? Hahaha
Truthfully, I find myself under gunned at the moment. All my .45's, mags and ammo will come with me as i venture to a store to acquire a decent shoulder gun(one is on my list for the show...I miss my safely stashed AK!), a reliable, high cap box fed semi...probably an AK. Then I'd have to get a 12 gauge for the car, and ALOT of ammo as I am hitting the paved ribbon, beatin' feet, making a tactical withdrawal Elsewhere.
I guess is depends on how much the 'virus' has spread....but if it is major, a trip to a military armory is in order for better tools and a HumVee.
If I was having to hunt them, a pair of my favorite .45's, a HK UMP(I know where one is!) and lots of mags would be my carry gear, a big blade is a nice idea...but if I screw up and they get that close...tryng to take on multiple targets that only have to bite me once with a blade....does not sound like a real keen situation. The vehicle would be my ammo and weapons carrier and it would get well stocked.....
ATF....? Who invited them to this fantasy nightmare?
