zombie scenario

[minke]

Here is a scenario -

The world is currently in a class IV zombie outbreak. You and your companions are stranded in an urban area with a rally point 4miles out of town ready for immediate evac.
Your immediate location is very well stocked hardware/gunstore with a boggling array of weaponry. You have time to select what you might need to get out of there in one piece. You can choose 1 of each of the following type of weapons/items.

longarm
sidearm
explosive munitions
support weapons
blunt or edged weapon
armour/body protection
any other unorthodox weapon you feel may serve eg frying pan

you gotta make it on foot,no transport is available to you,what you gonna take?

btw,they are coming...............

Are these the "slow" zombies ala Romero, or the "fast" zombies ala 28 Days Later?

[CraneMan]

Underground Nuke fallout shelter & Nuke their arses.

[minke]

slow typical zombies,only headshots/decapitation gonna kill em

[JAGED]

slow typical zombies,only headshots/decapitation gonna kill em

In that case, I'll go Ash on 'em!  Chainsaw on one side, boom stick on the other...   

[minke]

cant blame him for having a chainsaw,having 1 hand shortens his odds. Trekkin with one of those gonna slow ya down plus its close range only,oh and the noise is just gonna attract more ghouls. Shotgun is a good choice,long barrel is better and solid slug ammo got real stopping power. I'd give him 70% chance of making it

longarm - I don't know, but something with a good-sized clip and heavy stopping power at moderate range.
sidearm - Colt M1911: Good stopping power without a lot of bulk to carry around.
explosive munitions - Claymore mines. Plant them at head level and watch the shrapnel mow 'em down.
support weapons - Define "support weapon."
blunt or edged weapon - Longsword: Good reach, fast and versatile, and a lot of German swordsmanship involves cuts to the head so the technique alone works in my favor
armour/body protection - If we're talking slow, dumb zombies I'd rather go unarmored. Faster, better mobility, and what purpose would it really serve, anyway?
any other unorthodox weapon you feel may serve eg frying pan - Det cord or other similar explosive: something I can use to create roadblocks by knocking down telephon poles or by blowing out chunks of walls. They're ZOMBIES, it's not like the concept of going around is going to come to them.

If they are slow zombies, you bet I am running!

[Motherland]

What's the point of stopping power? It's not like the zombies feel any pain. Something light, reliable and accurate would be ideal.

[minke]

By support weapon i mean heavy machine gun,mortar,chaingun.

I should add you dont have to pick 1 of each,just a maximum of 1 of each.

stopping power can help if you miss the head and hit the torso etc

body armour could be a vest,shark suit,chainmail etc.personally I would have lightweight,tight fitting clothing for mobility

[WMLute]

Auto Assault-12 (AA-12) shotgun with Frag-12 shotgun rounds and slugs would be a good start.  (i'd opt for the 20 or 32 round drum)


It's supposed to need zero cleaning or lubrication, so that would be my "main" weapon.

For a side arm I would pick a Desert Eagle .50 cal like this one.


I would also have a pair of silenced .45 cal pistols.  Not sure which brand/model, but for sure I would need that.


ATOM-S2-hammer for up close and personal.  Good for prying open doors AND braining zombies.



The Wasp_Knife as backup.  It "injects a ball of compressed gas into its victim that then expands to the size of a basketball, instantly freezing and exploding their internal organs."  Kewl.



Prob. add to the list, but it is a good start.

Wouldn't Japanese swords be perfect for slow zombies?

I'm looking to take a longarm, any good deer rifle would be ok, but I'm thinking M1 Garand would be better.  I'll also want to take a good machete.  My thinking has been this model...  http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=CS97THM

I'll also want a crobar.  No armor and no rushing.  They're not in a hurry, neither should we be.  
We'll also want plenty of rope, in case we need to be in and out of trees, for sleeping at night maybe.  You just never know.

Now what if the pickup never comes and it's a worse outbreak than we all thought?

I'm looking at some of these warehouses on the outskirts of town.  No windows, strong and secure metal doors, high roofs and tons of room and supplies inside.

Yeah if you had a real and well made one they would.  If you're using the kind that you get at a pawn shop made of really cheap stamped steel or pot metal, no dice.  You sure don't want something that is going to break when you really really need it.

love the AA-12 awesome piece of kit.Not sure bout the knife,as cool as it is, zombies dont need most of their internal organs,would have to go through the eye socket.
