The Dead are rising! What do you grab?

[Lochaber]

Ok sure .. I'll bite.

If with friends, each should have a reliable shotgun, be it a pump or a solid semi like a Saiga or something like it. All should 1 rifle 3 to 1 ratio of assault rifles to precission rifles. All should have at least on highcap handgun. Bladed weapons are good but only working blades. Katanas are fancy but if you get swarmed you want something you can slash in all directions as well as thrust. Something like a Gladius or middle ages short sword ( 2ft of heavy blade) would be better.

My load out?

Mossy 500 (7+1) with buck and a batch of slugs
CAR-15 with lots of mags of M193 (AP stuff is useless on zombies)
CZ-75B with about 5 mags
Italian short sword.
A crowbar. Every one needs a crowbar.

Don't forget the rope. Charlie Bronson always has rope.

And remember, always tip her!

 

[s&w 24]

1. M1A1 type thompson sub-gun in 10mm with a stack of 30 rnd mags loaded with silvertips and a supressor
2. a Glack 20 with a tac light and a supressor
3. a S&W 610 4" for back up

use a team with similar guns 2 motorcycles and a suburban to hall the gear.

 

[BamBam-31]

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

So if they can't climb trees or anything-

I'll jump onto a big tower, and have the following:

Air freshener (bunch o' dead people don't smell like roses)
Lots of food, maybe a portable kitchen
Ruger 10/22 w/red dot scope and all of the ammo I can find
Glock 17 w/33 round magazines
Mossberg 590 w/Bayonet, heat shield (when things get hot), and tac light.
Homemade explosives

I'll just camp on top of the tower and plink away at all of the little zombies. If things get hot, I grab the shotgun, as rifle bullets will simply go through rotten flesh with no effect, and head shots can be achieved with the 10/22 while being quieter and cheaper. The Bayonet on my Mossberg will have a 15" blade welded on to an M7 Bayonet handle for long distance slicing. The Glock will be last ditch, and the explosives are for when my trigger finger gets to tired.

 

[Tommy Gunn]

Did someone say headshots?

A Remmington M700 7mm RemMag with Leupold 3x9 scope and leather military sling.

My CQB weapon will be a two-handed Claymore sword for lopping off heads and limbs.

 

[chevrofreak]

i feel the need to watch Resident Evil now

 

[T.Stahl]

An EmmGeeThree, two spare barrels and ammo, lots of ammo!
That'll kill the dead deader than dead.

Brrrrp-Brrrrp-Brrrrp!

 

[Feanaro]

Ten friends and a place to hold up in. Two M60s and a Browning Fifty cal with ammo boxes piled high. High powered rifles, such as Garands, M14s and Mausers for the rest of us. And a few Thompsons/MP5s on the floor nearby for those nasty close quarter situations.

My strategy is to wait the zombies out till help arrives, a la Night Of The Living Dead. Except with us still alive at the end.

Or perhaps I could pile said ten friends into a BIG truck and flatbed, mount said machine guns, put up some metal railings to keep people and things from sliding off, and getting in. Hang back a bit, use the rifles and MGs on the zombies and then blaze through the SOBs with the truck and SMGs.

Hard ExoArmor

The Israeli answer to armored hummers is the German Dingo. This vehicle is actually a commercial Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG 4 x 4 truck with an armored body. The vehicle, with armor, weighs 4.4 tons and normally carries a driver and four passengers (although as many as seven people can squeeze in). It's roughly similar in size and capability to an armored hummer. Israel is buying a hundred of the Dingos. The vehicles will be used for patrolling hostile areas, where small arms fire and roadside bombs may be encountered. The German army has also bought 56 Dingos.

I'm sorry, blitzer0101. In the 4 years that this thread has laid dormant, the zombies have evolved to be bullet-proof. I'm afraid your brains are their breakfast.

Speaking of things rising from the dead, this thread was started in 2003.

So, what caliber for head shooting a re-animated zombie thread?
