Can you imagine if Chuck Norris became a Zombie?

We'd all be screwed.

If you haven't read it yet, there's a great book on the subject:

The Zombie Survival Guide
http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Complete-Protection/dp/1400049628

It's written completely straight, as if zombie attacks are something that are happening now. No nonsense, good advice.

Thanks for the list Airscrew.
I've seen Land of the dead, and the only difference from the regular zombies is the bits of intelligence, and the automatic-undead thing. The amphibious thing looked like the sort of thing regular zombies could do, but never happened because of the screenplay/script.
I'd feel a lot safer if zombies were the deadbeat sort, rather than the ape**** 28 days later type.

BTW Cemetary Man is great, if anyone's not seen it yet..

The last zombie flick I saw had a western flavor to it. Some really bad guy swore revenge on the entire town for hanging him after his trial for being a very bad badman. Seems he came back and turned the whole town into zombies and the town faded away. The movie came into it when a group of lost young folks stumbled into town looking for directions and maybe some gas. Enter the zombies.

Some really bad acting too. Not even a "B" movie, more like an xyz movie. I have no idea what the title was on it anymore.

Well if we're putting together a zombie survival wishlist then here is mine.

1. Need an escape vehicle. I'd want something big, heavy, able to go just about anywhere. I'd take one of these. Mind you I'd remove all the comms gear for more room for people and extra fuel, food and what not. Nice thing is it can be sealed from the inside so no zombies getting in. I can just run the batards over without having to worry about damaging anything. It's plenty fast. All wheel drive. Roomy enough for half a dozen people, more in a pinch.

Light Armored Vehicle-Command and Control (LAV-C2)
The LAV-C2 is an all-terrain, all-weather vehicle with night capabilities. The LAV-CC is a Type I raised roof chassis outfitted with communication stations that allows the Unit Commander the capability to command, control and communicate (C3) the activities of his forces under full armored protection. This mobile command station provides field commanders with all necessary resources to control and coordinate light armored units in all assigned roles. It is air transportable via C-130, C-141, C-5 and CH-53 E. When combat loaded there are 200 ready rounds and 800 stowed rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. There are 8 ready rounds and 8 stowed rounds of smoke grenades. The vehicle can be made fully amphibious within 3 minutes.

OK now I have my ride I need a good primary weapon for those times when I'm forced to get out and forage around for things I might need. As many people have already said Zombies are attracted to noise so I want to be quite. Nothing worse than trying to lug around supplies and then make a bunch of noise shooting a random zombie only to have the rest of them come looking for you. So with that in mind I'd choose a H&K MP5SD2 with an EoTech holo sight. 9mm good for head shots and it's quite, compact, and light weight.

My backup weapon would be my 12 gage Remington 870 with an extended mag, and 20 inch slug barrel. I'd probably go with Federal/Barnes sabot slugs at first then switch to buck shot.

My sidearm of choice would be my Taurus PT99 9mm. It has an after market comp barrel, cat eye night sights, and a nice set of Pachmayr finger groove grips. I shoot this pistol all the time so I'm real good with it and I KNOW it's reliable. I also have a nice tactical thigh holster for it that is comfortable to wear.

As a last resort edged weapon, nothing beats a Gurka. The Gurkha Kukri will out-chop any factory or handmade knives, including swords twice its size - even expensive, hand forged Japanese Katanas. Taking advantage of its downward curving blade and long, "V" shaped cross section, the Gurkha Kukri places its edge at an angle to a target, creating a powerful shearing effect. The heaviest Kukri on the market, the blade is almost an inch wider near the tip than it is at the handle, which shifts the knife’s balance point forward. This allows a substantial blow to be struck with minimal effort, using inertia alone to complete the cut.
Specifications:
Weight: 22 oz.
Blade Thickness: 5/16".
Blade Length: 12".
Handle: 5" long. Kraton .
Steel: Carbon V.
Overall Length: 17" .
Black Epoxy Powder Coat.
Sheath: Black Leather

That's what I want when the Zombies attack:aok

In addition to your standard undead and viral zombies, you've got your electrical zombies and your voodoo zombies. Electrical zombies are rare and tend to be solitary so they're easy to deal with, for example Frankenstein and his relatives.

Voodoo zombies tend to be found along the Gulf coast. In general they aren't much problem, although your southern black female voodoo zombie can be a challenge because they tend to tote straight razors and fly off the handle at the drop of a hat after they're have a forty or two.

mt... you are probly right.. a pissant 9 mm would be fine for headshots and does have a large capacity thing going for it... I just like my 44 and 45's in that regard...

I think you are also right on the 22 rifle thing... you can have 5,000 rounds pretty easy...

I like 44 and 45 because they are so easy to reload the ammo... lead slugs can be made from wheel weights.

oh... I also like my little makarov 9 mm.. it is small and ULTRA reliable and I have a couple thousand rounds in an ammo can.

My goal for transportation would be a brinks truck... armored.. from survivors who coveted and from zombies... roomy enough... good range with big tanks of less flamable and... less finicky diesel.

a machete for the belt would be about as good as anything for last ditch if you had no ammo but.. running out of ammo is not something that could happen to me.

For vehicles, I'd go with a John Deere 900-series combine. With 36 feet of double-edged knives at 520 cycles per minute, I'd be going through zombies like crap through a goose.

Reading this thread has me concerned...

I'm afraid too many of you are thinking of how you would address a conventional attack - by that, I mean an attack by the living. People are throwing around terms like "stopping power" and I've even read a suggestion about a flame thrower... PLEASE

!

These walking killing machines laugh at this conventional thinking... or they would, if they were capable of understanding humor.

A Zombie has no fear, and more to the point - no feelings. That means burning them (ala flamethrower) is a double edged sword. While the flames will eventually consume the Zombie corpse, you will still have up to an hour with a bumbling, slow moving, WALKING-lighter, bumping into anyone and anything (INCLUDING YOUR SHELTER!!!) Unless you plan on smoking yourself out, lighting a Zombie up should be done with the utmost care!

Now, when it comes to handguns... forget "stopping power." If you shoot a Zombie in its arm, or its leg, or even its chest, it will STILL KEEP COMING! All you will have done is wast ammo and possibly drawn the attention of other Zombies in the area with the noise of your weapon! You want to look for 2 things in a handgun when it comes to Zombie defense - 1) Ease of use (including under harsh conditions - you may be on the run) & 2) a large ammo capacity.

All you need to do is scramble the eggs between their ears... so a 9mm will be fine. The ammo is plentiful and light compared to other calibers which means you can carry more! If you know you will be traveling through especially harsh conditions (i.e. swamplands and such) then you may want a simpler firing mechanism such as a 38 revolver. Just be sure to shop for your anticipated environment!

Lets talk rifles...

The two best options are... wait for it-

The M1 Garand

The M1 Carbine

With accuracy, light ammo (the advantage of which is described above), and a quick rate of fire - these two babies are all that you need.

Remember folks... it's all about the head-shot. If you pull out a spray and pray weapon, well lets just say you'd be better off by dropping the spray part.

The ultimate shooting weapon when it comes to the Zombie appocolypse?
Simple

Think about it... it provides you with distance from your grabby foe, accuracy for the killer headshot, and best of all -SILENCE- so you won't grab the attention of any more of the undead in the area...

The two best close combat weapons would have to be the Army surplus machete, or a crowbar. The Army surplus machete for the obvious reason that it provides reach with an effective kill stroke. AND because the blade is usually painted black- perfect for those full moon nights - you don't want anything flashing out there.

The crowbar is good because of its versatility, both as a weapon and a tool. You never know when you'll need to jimmy a door to make your escape.

Folks... i'll stop here-
Do yourselves a favor and go buy

Read it... take notes... make your shopping lists...
The threat is real people... Organize before they rise!

When I think Zombie I think 1968 “night of the living Dead” slow, and Dumb, afraid of fire. But if your talking bionic zombies well **** that’s a hole new ball of dead flesh.

I think it’s agreed you need long rang, accurate, head splitting power. A good solid blade, and maybe a chain and ball for close combat.

I think I remember seeing the trailers for that. I didn't know they were zombies from it, but it makes sense now.

Dawn of the Dead was really good. Very entertaining and very scary zombies.

For humor, the "Return of the Living Dead" series from the 1980s is a lot of fun. Especially No. 1. A real hoot.

Sean of the Dead is also a lot of fun.

I don't know about you but this looks zombieish;

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070918032309.snshi71r&show_article=1

Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.

Boiling water started coming out of the crater

I think it was a small outbreak it was handled my local officials, and will be covered up....Keep looking for more signs of "meteorite" out breaks, and meet me in the hills of canada...
