Everything I got....

Both Garands, (hand one to a buddy,)
The Rem. 870 (loaded with dragons breath, )

pass out my other long guns to my other friends (as I'd really like to be able to shoot 'n' scoot, if necessary.

My short sword for backup. :evil:
 
G-36C with Trijicon ACOG. 10 30rd mags on the LBV. Another loaded 100 mags in my 1969 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi (hey, Zombies are slow :p) The .223 ammo alternates 2 SS109 AP, 2 Incendiary Starburst Ammo (gotta have the titanium shrapnel), and a Tracer.

Barret M82A1, Box after Box of ammo, 5 10rd mags

HK Mk. 23 SOCOM pistol with as many mags of Hydra Shok or Black Talon that I can find.

Two FN FiveseveNs (I know... but what if I really really really want them?), 10 mags each, fit extra ammo in trunk of charger.

One of those new 50cal Revolvers... cause hey, you never know. :D

Mossberg 590 Mariner
3" 00 Buck
3" 1oz Slugs

12ga Flare Gun, couple hundred flares (for, you know, pyrotechnics ;) )

10 55 gal drums of jellied gasoline (see above)

Naginata, Hand and a Half Broadsword, Katana, Bow and Arrows and whatever else I can fit in the back seat along with MRE's, Beer, Water, Beer, and some Beer.

Place the hottest competent chick in the passenger seat (I mean like the Sarah Connor type from T2... drool)

All of this and I would invite my 50 closest, similarly equipped, friends to take a 270 foot Coast Guard cutter or a really large extravagant cabin cruiser, out on the ocean... Zombies can't swim, can they?

After everything calms down on the mainland, come back and go road warrior on this country... maybe I could change my name to Max...


OH! the most important thing of all...
A waterproof container on a chain that hangs around my neck. Contents? One .45ACP Cartridge. In a situation like this, save the last bullet for yourself.

/Arcli9ht

edit: You think I've thought about this much? jeez... :scrutiny:
 
I'll just ride in the back of a pickup and take pot shots at said zombies with my AR.
 
Don't forget the all-time classic thread on this sort of thing over at our predecessor forum, The Firing Line. To whet your appetite, here are a couple of suggested lines from horror movies:

1. "My name is...Dracula. Velcome to my...vere the hell did you get a flamethrower?"

2. "Before you go into that dark, scary, critter-crawling basement why don't you toss in Uncle Bubba's lucky frag grenade?"

3. "You think that chain saw is scary? Meet the Ditch Witch!"

4. "Okay. Every person who's gone into that house has failed to come out. Either there's one hell of a party going on or something nasty's inside. Since I don't hear any music, I presume it's the latter. Set fire to one side and shoot anything you don't recognize that comes out the other side."

5. "This is Adam 2-12. We've got a werewolf loose. Yes, I said a werewolf. Call animal control. Let those pricks deal with it. I'm going on break."

6. "Yes, I'm a cop. But that's a 300 foot tall firebreathing lizard. What part of 'not in my job description' don't you understand?"

7. "Yes, I understand that we can't kill him, but I don't think he's going to be able to do much to us without some form of locomotion. Now go over there and pick up his legs while I collect his arms. And I don't ever want to hear you complain about me carrying two 44 magnums again."

8. "Our own George Hill is walking towards his home late one night. Out of the darkness steps a threatening ghoul. George draws his 1911 and quickly Mozambiques it. Two dozen more ghouls step out of the darkness. George turns around and runs inside. The ghouls smile and begin to walk towards George's house. George races OUT of his house, this time with one 1911 in each hand, and two more stuck in his wasteband. He has this maniac's grin on his face as he races towards the ghouls. They turn around and run. George Hill runs after them, firing with both guns, yelling, 'Come back here you blankety blanking blankety blanks! I'm gonna go Chow Yun Fat on your ***!' "
 
Definitely need a bible. I know these are supposed to be science creations, but bibles come in handy. I would go with a King James. Not only did ol' Jimmy know who to hire to write a wonderfully poetic verse, but mine is a big honkin' leather bound deal that would work well for zombie skull bashing if I needed to (...and I'm Jewish... go figure).

As for weapons, I'd like something in a high-capacity autoloading shotgun like a streetsweeper with some heavy buck. Actually, if I could get a Mk19 mounted on a truck with all the HE and buck/canister I could ever want, I would be most happy. Maybe keep a good reliable something slung over my back, like an AK with a stack of magazines up to my ears. As for a sidearm... I saw one of these really cool but absolutely useless 30-rd 1911 mags at a gun show once (right next to the .50BMG that had been necked to a .223), so a few dozen of those, along with a pair of 1911's would do nicely.
 
Firstly, antidotes for the T-virus and the G-virus, which cause the zombie-like behaviour of people in the Resident Evil series in the first place. These I would take if bitten or scratched.

Eagle Becker Patrol Pack. Within this bag; food and drink, lots of survival and navigation equipment, and a large med kit.

Several survival knives, razors, wire saw, etc.
Radio.
Binoculars.
Surefire Z2 CombatLight.
Surefire M3 Millenium CombatLight.
Eagle TAC-V3 Assault Vest.
Bolle T-800 Tactical Goggles.
Hellstorm S.O.L.A.G. Gloves
Alta Industries elbow pads.
Alta Industries Superflex knee pads.
Possibly a combat helmet, a black nomex balaclava and some form of combat boots.
Hearing protection.

After the clothing and survival kit considerations were out of the way, I'd carry a SOPMOD M4A1 Carbine and a gen. III Glock 17 with as many mags for both of them as I could carry on the vest and in the backpack. Also, a backup handgun in the backpack and possibly suppressors for all the guns.

Also, a good shotgun is in order; I'd pick the Benelli M1 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun using Winchester 00 Buckshot and alot of spare shells in the backpack and vest.

Perhaps some plastic explosives, frag grenades and smoke grenades would come in handy too.

Oh, and some buddies to watch your six, help you call for help and get the hell outta there!

;)

Anybody here actually play Resident Evil 3: Nemesis? A company of light infantry got WIPED OUT because:
A) They decided to stand and fight because they had M16s, grenades, etc.
and
B) They were constantly trying to save themselves at the expense of others, i.e "That zombie is almost on me and Smith" <shove Smith into the zombie and run>

That said, I would run'n'gun for the city limits with a reliable team. I'd want an M4A1 or M16A4 (headshots are essential, and I can make 'em with an AR-style platform all day long) loaded 1 : 3 with tracers (fire is good) : M193 (so is fragmentation). 9, 12, or maybe even 15 mags, 8 in the vest, 1 in the gun, and maybe 1 or 2 belt pouches. (Ammo is the only thing to worry about, with maybe an MRE and some H2O, if I'm not out of the infected zone within 24-36 hours, I'm not getting out.). Finish the loadout with a hicap wondernine (Glock 17 maybe), 3 mags for it, and a decent fighting knife.

[ignore this next paragraph if you're unfamiliar with the Resident Evil series of videogames]
That said, I seriously think my town could be Raccoon City :what: . Merck employs a huge porportion of the population, and owns a sprawling complex just outside the limits (like Umbrella :eek: ). The architecture of the town that you see in RE2 and RE3 could easily be in my town :uhoh: . I hear anything about strange packs of dogs or cannibal cults (from the openings of RE1 RE2 and RE3), I'm bugging out!:p
 
AR-15 chambered in 50 Beowulf. If that wouldn't put a zombie down quickly, I don't know what would.

atek3
 
AR-15 with tons of mags.

Backup of a Valtro .45 with reloads ready.

Backup to that with a small Kahr.

Oh yeah...
...and a baseball bat.

-s
 
I would carry my SAR2 AK74 variant, along with all my mags. Coicidentally I have just now realized 10 30rnd mags really isn't enough. I was previously sleeping well at night, content that I was ready for anything. Thanks for nothing crap weasels... There goes more money too, DAMNIT...

I would also carry whatever 9mm hicap pistol I had handy, along with a high-quality Highlander replica Dragon Head Katana. Nothing can lop off heads like that baby...
 
Definitely a katana. Flamethrower ain't a bad idea. No bibles, q'urans, torahs, etc. -- I've seen too many religious zombies walking around in my life... didn't seem to help them any.

-0-
 
If I had my pick
A Rem 870 or Mossy 500 w/ buckshot (hard to miss with) and slugs (sling and sideaddle required)
1911 on the hip with tons 'o' mags (with nice hollowpoint ammo-feed ramp modified for such)
Tomahawk and or gurkha knife
An SKS with bayonet to hand to a budy - stab them if you run ot of ammo - simple to operate, goes boom every time
and my St. Christopher medal :)
BSR
 
Okay, I'll play.
As somebody already said, I'll limit it to what I actually have.

Long range: Mosin M44 if they get close the blast and flash will set them on fire and rattle them to pieces!

Medium range: Mossy 500 8 shot Ooohh! look at the little pieces fly!!

Short range: 1911A1 when you care enough to shoot the hairy beast.

Contact range: Hand and a Half Jeager sword, T-6 heater shield, steel and T-6 Plate and Leather armour, and a 12 ga steel sallet helmet. Nothing says lovin' like wading in and smacking 'em on the head!!:D



In the realm of "What I ain't got"? How about a Los Angeles class sub?
"Sir, there are zombies in California!" "I see, .....make ready all missile tubes! And bring me some more of those little cocktail shrimps in sauce."

Well, I'm not sure about which weapon I'd grab, but based on all the zombie movies I've seen:

1-Make sure I don't leave the back door open. Zombies always come through the open/unlocked back door. Go figure.

2-Make sure when I run away that I'm not with someone who will trip at a critical moment (e.g. zombie right on their heels). I suppose I'd also stay away from anyone likely to get clothing/hair/body parts caught on any part of the interior of a burning car as they try to escape from the car moments before it bursts into a ball of flames. I sure hate when that happens.

3-Stay out of the basement. Never go down to the basement :what:

But seriously....I'd grab:

- A bat or club
- Sword or machete
- Sawed-off shotgun and lots of shells
- Torch
- As many Glocks as I could carry

Well since I think carrying large amounts of ammo is going to be key I would choose the following guns I have.

1. My EAA double barrel "Bounty Hunter" and my 50 round bandolier.

2. My Pre-ban AR-15 and every mag and stripper clip I own

3. My Beretta 92 and the dozen or so clips I have.

Sadly (or not) most of these are ready to go in case of a "Homeland Security" emergency

"The Dead are rising! What do you grab?"

30.06 BAR.
12 gauge with 00 buck.
1911 for close shots.
Glock-17 as good backup.
Lots of gasoline for mass infestations.

Knives won't work. If you get that close they can bite you and then your infected. Bad mojo.

Good movie research for schizophrenics:
1. Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things.
2. Night of the Living Dead & remake.
3. Dawn of the Dead.
4. Day of the Dead.
5. The Evil Dead, parts 1 & 2.
6. Resident Evil, parts 1 & 2

:evil:
 
Three words:

CLAYMORE!
CLAYMORE!
CLAYMORE! ( KA-BOOOM )


Hey, If we can bring friends.........

I want that, and the 7th ACR with a whole trainload of class I, III, and V. Throw in some close air support from the zoomies (or is that zoombies), and we'll have some serious fun. We'd set up a good defensive perimiter, allow enemy to close, take cover and set off claymores, mop up and set up fresh mines. If the area became too target rich for that, we could un-a$$ the AO under armour.
 
Sheesh, so many of you guys are falling right into the trap. You're planning to carry a virtual arsenal, and you're gonna be the over-the-top, tactically-paranoid nutjob guy in the movie, who ends up fiddling with his gear and getting tangled in all those slings while the brain-eaters inexorably close in on you with their gentle, tireless, rocking gait of doom.

What you want is to be the wise and weathered guy in the movie whose underlying preparedness and coolheadedness comes as a redeeming surprise to the other characters. You do that, of course, with one inoffensive longarm and an inconspicuous sidearm. My longarm and sidearm, to be precise.

The obligatory 870, mais oui; loaded with 00, slugs in the sidesaddle for those nasty covered zombies; a belt pouch full of buck, and as many slugs as you can elegantly fit in your royal robins vest. I just ordered my Wilson Combat mag extension last night, so I hope this whole scenario can wait long enough for UPS to get it here among the living.

And, the high-cap 9mm (Glock 17 for me; night sights obligatory--it's not the 'twighlight of the living dead', after all). No point in sacrificing capacity for power, since CNS shots are the only ones that'll stop these moldering ghouls. Better use 147 for reliable penetration to those much-sought after braaaaaaiiiiinnnnss.

CG
 
My Rem 870 loaded with buckshot or slug, and my USP with +p+ JHP's, pref Talons, would be enough.

Oh, and I'd also bring along my 14" heavy bolo knife, in case I run out of ammo. :D
 
Actually, since a CNS shot is all that it takes, my trust Ruger 10/22 with BDUs stuffed full of 50 round mags (which now cost more than the rifle...) would be the ticket... No recoil, rapid reacquisition of new targets, compact, lightweight, etc..
