My friends and I have plans for when Zombies attack. Of course we don't really believe in Zombies but we get real bored sometimes. Our plans are as specfic as what we would bring, wear, "equip", where we would go and who would be in our party.

Most of our conversations recently have been towards the undead. Any other fans with plans (hey I made a rhyme) out there? If so what would you do? :rolleyes:

I'll say my plans later. :wink:

And to anyone else: what do you think about the undead? Are me and my friends alone in our obsession?

I'd get a hold of all my family and friends (assuming they're alive and phone lines are still up and running) and have them gather any weapons, supplies, vehicles, etc., meet up at the safest place for a rendezvous (hope I spelled that right), and plan an escape out of town.

Perhaps I'd organize a little search party to find any other survivors and loot a few gunshops as well, if conditions weren't too unfriendly... :biggrin:

After playing the Resident Evil games so many times, sometimes I can't help but think of a plan for leaving a town full of the undead, though I highly doubt such a scenario will ever happen...

Being a Resident Evil gamer, it once came into my mind the possibility of the event to happen...

I'd probably head first to the local army headquarters and analyze the situation...

If they've overrun the army, I'll take my chances and run over to the armory.....>:)

I'll probably commandeer an APC or some armored fighting vehicle and drive my way out of the city, helping out survivors on the way....

Not at all Boris! The idle mind bears fruit to some pretty cooky things! :laugh:

I'd bust out the small(but not too meager :devil: ) family arsenal... a few SMGs and a few pistols will suffice till we get to the SAF school in Laguna(in the Philippines)... the boys over there are stocked with enough weapons of varied enough nature and type to pretty much cover everything we might meet on the way.... plus they'll most probably be holding out... we could then get a chopper and fly outta there! Whee! :devil:

hell with weapons. :flamethrower: :enforcer: :machinegun: :rocket: :uzi: :flack:

i'll get down and dirty with fists and kicks. :punch: and probably, melee weapons. :smash:

Get behind me everyone, jcarro13's out for some undead zombie ass. then i would prolly get the car and drive away once the area's clear. :drive:

Flawless victory! Great!

I happen to be jcarro's friend. And he loves to be melee in everything. But I think he'll be a zombie(if a zombie bites him and turns him into one) long before he can land those divine punishments on the undead.

Me on the other hand would head out to the tallest building equipped with guns(a M-16, rocket launcher and an AWP-magnum) with unlimited ammo since the zombies are kinda dumb and probably couldn't make their way thru stairs! :uzi: :rocket: :ok:

Akira, Akira, Akira, my friend, kaibigan, compadre, amigo, tomodachi...

You know of my unbelievable agility and speed do you not? And of course, of my strength, too. That is why i prefer to let my fists do the talking. For even if i don't look like it, there beats a heart of a true warrior in me.

Remember overnight at joa's? You can all jump me and still i'll whoop your asses.

At least while im still awake.

So, zombies or whatever better watch out.

For those of you who don't know, I collect sword. Lots of them. When anything attacks, me and my friends/family have all called a sword or 2 for stabby goodness. I get the samurai's :laugh:. Also, if its the end of the world, we plan on taking out those who we hate, just to know what its like to kill someone. those we hate deserve it anyway >.<.

Zombies? And I won't run from them? Okay, well then. I'm an expert swordsman....So I'd grab a machine gun :laugh: My one friend tells me of a machine gun that can fire 3500 bullets per SECOND. That'll take care of a couple of zombies. So I'll take that (I believe it's an AK110 or something) and perhaps a flame thrower, a katana just incase, (if available) the DeathScythe, Some chinese food, some gloves that say "Jesus Christ is in heaven now", Two big, big pistols, perhaps the Halconnen, those weird swords Paladin Alexander Anderson has, a big back pack to hold everything, and maybe some bandages....and a flashlight....That'll take care of everything.

im not even gonna plan a hand to hand thing....get like a waterbomber...fill it wit gasoline....douse a large number of zombies....n toss a match over the side of the plane....
then i go back to see if any zombies survive....pull out mr. bat ....

I'll use my husband prized Katanas, make a homemade flame thrower + molotov cocktail, and one of women's best weapon: FRYING PAANN!!

Shotgun in one hand, and flame thrower in the other. Couldn't care less if I were with anybody as long as they don't get into the line of fire (flame thrower fire that is).

Bluemaxx remedies for zombie problems:-

number 1:
Find a vampire and ask him to make you a vampire(how do ask a vamp to help ya with that?It is simple....just say "BITE ME! :laugh: ").Vampires are much cooler than zombies and I dun think the undead eats other undeads......especially the cool good-looking ones. :cheesy:


number 2:
Volunteer yourself into Umbrella Corporation's Project:Nemesis.Dunno what project Nemesis is all about?Good....all the better.If things goes well....you wont remember or feel anything about zombies.


number 3:
Move to the North Pole.Undead will freeze easy and break themselves thanks to the cold and frostburn and stuff(due to the fact of ZERO body heat).Who knows....maybe the penguins and polar bear will feed on these zombies?In the animal kingdom....theres no better meat than dead meat.(well...maybe deader meat :sweatface: )

If the Zombies are out there, does that mean that the internet is going to be freed up? Yes!

My solutions:

1) I'm gonna set Michael Jackson free, so he can teach them zombies how to Thriller, In Manila. (of course, I'm in KL, so that's a problem).

2) I'm NOT going to say "I'll be right back". and I'm not going to take a shower. and I'm not going to have any sex. and I'm not going to be wandering around town like a clueless highschooler. Nope. Not gonna do anything that gets me killed in horror movies.

3) I'm gonna be running. coz zombies, for their mindless numbers, don't seem to have grasped public transportation. or not lurching.

4) I'm going to loot all the food from stores, and get everyone evacuated to the safest spot in town - the bank vault. of course, when I say everyone, I only mean hot looking horny chicks.

And then "Save" them from their hornyness. I liek it :biggrin:.

Yes, this is what makes one a bold hero!! :laugh:

Let me see, I'm in an unfamiliar area, and zombies are coming?

I guess I'll get a knife and force my way to the garage, I'll make sure the car's got enough fuel and then.... IT'S GTA TIME!!!

That would be wise and all but have you ever thought about the fact that bank vaults, while nearly invulnerable, contains next to no air.... that would give you just enough time to, "put a gun to your head, make peace with your god, and then pull the trigger." :biggrin:

Wow thats alot of people... :biggrin: . Anyway like I said I would post, my plans. Sesshomaru, three more of my friends, and I would get our weapons. I won't say my friends weapons but I would take a Mp5, a sniper rifle, and 7 magazines for the Mp5 and one magazine for the rifle. I would take either a katana (preferred), a claymore, or a machete. I would also end up carrying ammo/weapons for others (the snipers are for Ses and one of my other friends) because I'm the strongest of our group. We all have our skills (stealth, entertainment, strength, nature skills, gun knowledge, shooting ability). Our first job would be to meet up, but then we would get somewhere safe outside of town (by foot or bike) and then we would go back into the city on the offensive.

That was a mouthful. :sweatface:

Yeah, Boris and 3 of our friends have already had hour long conversations about who would have what.

My Primary weapon would be a hunting rifle (really, I have good practice as a marksman), 2 SMGs as secondarys, and a Katana or a metal pipe to face off with zombies. I would have the nature/medic/survival skills. We would not use a car because if this did happen then we would know that there would be chaos and the roads would probably be blocked up by people who paniced and have scatered cars everywhere. More on this later.

I'd take a page out of Great Teacher Largo's book and stock up on weapons designed to destroy t3h 3v1l undead. like crossbows. everyone knows crossbows work better on undead than high explosives. I'd also look for some Phoenix Downs and learn how to cast Life spells because those kill zombies instantly. Remedies don't cure Zombie status so I'd also need some Revivifies. and to make sure I don't become a zombie myself, I'd equip an Amulet since it prevents Zombie status.

I'd save people with the following levels of priority:
1. hot girls
2. some of my friends unless the hot girls have taken up all available space

All of those things would work, except for the crossbow because it is large, makes noise which would attract other zombies and you would have to pierce the skull for a kill.


I like the phoenix down/life idea though. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm one of Boris' friends invovled in the anti-zombie plan :biggrin:, so here's my weapon list:

Mini-14 with mods
USP .45 with mods
machete (made like a ninjite) or wakizashi
trench spike(s)


Mods would include scope, silencer, and specialized stock for mini-14, and special combat sights and silencer for USP. I would carry 4 extra mags for the mini-14 (20 rounds each) and 2 extra mags for the USP ( 10 rounds each). I would also carry aditional (? spelling) ammo for each, as well as oher survival supplies. If I could, I would get ahold of some dirtbikes and learn how to ride them, as they would be one of the best escape vehicles available. If not, there's always the bicycle. I'm one of the team's marksmen and the gun expert, so I would try to keep zombies at a distance from a tall building or water tower.

Yeah, just so some of ya'll know, flame throwers are only a limited use zombie weapon. Zombies are immune to pain, so a burning zombie will still shuffle toward you. They're better against larger groups at a distance or from a building (provided the zombies don't set it on fire). Also, a flamethrower would be hell to find. They were only used during world war 2 by the army and marines, and many were destroyed. Also, they are a two-handed weapon, the ammunition is very rare (napalm) and it goes completely against federal laws. One more bad idea: facing zombies in only melee. This would work against groups of about three or less, but if you believe one person can take on more than that with only what God gave them, I hope you can deal with being undead.

but thats just because of modern influence in our minds, with all the guns, rockets, grenades and stuff, that melee(fists/swords/clubs) is nothing more than crap.

with proper training, practice and mastery, all i can say is "Watch me"

I agree that a melee master wouldn't have to worry aboot Zombies at all. Hitokiri Battosai with a Katana (or his Sakabato for that matter) would easily chop through Zombies all day.

But for me (the non-master-swordsman) guns will have to do. At close range, I'm sure that I'd screw up somehow and end up getting bit.

I'd prefer an axe. And I don't think pistols or submachine guns would be much help. With no vital spots hit and make a quick kill you have to literally blow them apart. How do you do that with .45 caliber pistol?

As for fists, kicks, elbows, forearms, knees, and headbutts they could be usefull in getting a zombie off balance but again not for blowing them apart.

Sorry to keep posting like this, but one question: If you were trapped in your home city, in a confined area, would melee work against groups of more than about 3?

I myself am partial to melee (I like martial arts), but there is one big problem: infection. Zombies are caused by infection from other zombies. No exceptions. In a melee fight, you are more likely to be scratched, bitten, or generally infected by a zombie. Remember:it only takes a scratch, so range is crucial. Firearms can extend this range to safer distances. I have to say melee is fun, and I don't doubt that you are very good, but at least wear long-sleeve shirts, gloves, and maybe even kevlar covers (if you could find any). Hey, I might even join in the melee fun! :biggrin:

The head is a vital point ergo guns do have some effect. Actually a rather effective effect.

Or with the old Haitian Voodoo way: Salt them all!!...Or that's what i read :rolleyes:

Pistols are more of a defensive weapon. At shorter ranges, or indoors, they can be just as effective as long guns. And for melee, I would prefer trench spike. It's a knife designed to puncture a steel helmet. What more could you ask for?

How would you define a defensive weapon as opposed to an offensive weapon?

If we consider the head to be a vital spot then yes guns would be quite effective.

The problem with trench spikes is if you manage to generate enuf force to penetrate a skull you may find that pulling it out again is very difficult. You kill one zombie with it and spend the next 3 minutes trying to pull it out.

I have to go with snakecharmer on this one. In reality things like SMGs and Pistols would be useless. Small caliber rounds would pretty much ineffective in dealing with zombies. We humans go down because of things like a pierced heart lungs filling with blood, ruptured livers or kidneys severed arteries. These kind of wounds would have no effect on something like a zombie.
I think what Alucardenforcer meant was close in weapons, like Shotguns which would be my weapon of choice. Nice 12 guage with heavy buck shot is the way to go. Shotgun has many advantages, mainly you don't have to be a dead shot with it. Just put the head in the pattern. Also you don't have to go for the killer blow, shotguns are great for tissue damage. Just aim low and take out a leg.

Also for all all you wanting to carry swords and katanas I'd recommend a different weapon. While movies like Kill Bill make the whole lopping off body parts look easy, truth is you're more likely to get you weapon lodged or stuck in your opponent. I'd prefer a good blunt force trauma weapon like a mace or a sledge hammer or a bat. A solid whack to head it'll go down and also shots to the knee or back can cripple your zombie opponent quite nicely without having to worry about getting your weapon stuck in some bone or sinew.

Everyone is talking flamethrowers which it's pointed out that they are hard to come by were all forgetting an effective alternative, Molatov Cocktails people, easy and handy.

Oh and it is nice to see some one mentioning personal protection. I'd recommend sporting equipment. Football and hockey pads long heavy winter clothes.

Yeah, i guess melee guys should wear protective gear (but not at all too heavy, since i'm gonna go for speed). Zombies are way too slow to even touch me. I'll just karate chop to the neck probably (with decaying flesh it should be severed in one blow, if i can provide enough force :biggrin: ). If I'm gonna use a weapon, I'll use... a metallic staff (or metallic rod a wooden one might break :biggrin: <--how do you say "arnis"?). I'll just swipe at their necks or legs.

Its not like I'll go out and fight it out with groups of thirty and such, just fight through them, make a sort of corrider through their ranks to be where i need to be.

And bring MedKits!! :laugh:

True. But with all those horny chicks - I get to go out in a "Blaze of Glory". (Hey baby, I got a shot for you...)

A trench spike was designed to be able to quickly puncture through a metal helmet and with draw in order to attack another opponent. At least thats what I thought.



Two things about this, one is that I'm talking about a katana made by a master, you know that can like cut through like most anything, not to mention that their flesh is decaying therfore making a clean chop easier. The other thing is that with a bludgeon if you miss you just might feel a nail or a tooth cut into your body. (Oh and the human skull is possibly one of the hardest things to puntcure, not to mention shatter, so judging by the force you have to put behind the blow there is a good chance you could miss.) But if you must have a bludgeon I'd go for a crowbar. It is light, durable, can be used for many things other than fighting, is easy to find, and has a sharp edge to preform a stab if nessecary. The only downside of a crowbar is limited range, but even that is not too bad.

Ahh... the crowbar... the feeling of ripping apart facehuggers with a crowbar.

now that boris mentioned it, yeah, i'll stick back to swords and sharp thingies. they can cut through the enemy ranks better than just pushing them out of the way.

A defensive weapon is a weapon used at shorter ranges or as a last resort. As the only way to kill a zombie is destuction of the brain, even a .22 caliber bullet would suffice, provided that you are a good shot and it is at short range. Also, zombies are attracted to sound. A 12-gauge, while one of my favorite weapons and a good last resort, is just too loud for single or low-numbers combat. I like the metal rod idea. I would probably use a shorter one. Another good melee weapon is the Shaolin Spade.

Trench spikes have brass knuckles as part of the handle :punch: so you can knock away zombies when facing larger groups.

Ok first of all, it doesn't matter who makes your katana, I don't care how sharp it is. It's not a question of the quality of the blade, but the quality of the user. Do you think you have the skill to hit a zombie in the right spot to properly sever a limb or remove his head. Don't fool yourself, it'll requires alot of skill to do that. Also it doesn't matter if you're alive and fresh as a daisy or dead and rotting, bone is bone. If my mace or hammer won't dent in a skull trust me your katana won't do squat to it. Also if you're going to go around removing limbs you better hope your blade doesn't get dented on a bone.

Remember, one does not die from a blade by having limbs or heads cut off. Typically blades did you in by severing your soft tissue and cutting things like veins and artieries. You died because you bleed to death, something zombies don't really concern themselves with.

Tho I have to agree that a crowbar is a good choice of weapon, it just depends on what size you use, to small and it won't make an effective weapon to big and it's to un-weildy.

But all in all, I'll still go with a good solid crushing weapon.

Snakecharmer also make another good point, a nice solid axe, like a fireman's axe would also be a good choice of weapon

I agree with JeremiahConrad-san. A sword would be not so effective in destroying zombies....a blunt melee weapon like a mace or an axe is a better choice.

I know for a fact because at one time when i was playing NeverWinter Nights and got killed by those undead bosses in Beggar's Nest.....an ethereal light appeared from my monitor screen before me and an elven cleric clad only in one of those skimpy Pepsi-Girl gladiator armor(y'know...the one featuring Beyonce,Britney and Pink? :sweatface: ) told me this....

Linu:"Hey, you non-gentile @$$hole....that ain't the proper way to kill zombies, foo! Drop that stupid +1 longsword and pick up a Greataxe or a dire-mace or a hammer or something and be useful zombie fodder and buy me some time while I try to cast a "Hammer of the Gods" spell! :rant: "

I dunno if it was real or just an imagination due to the effects of my usual flu medication.....but that lil' bit does have some merit to it.Logically, it'd be better to smash zombie heads to bits with a strike rather than cutting them up with a blade which may take several strikes.(and goodness knows...if you do slice the head of a zombie....what makes you think it wont move or crawl around the place?Slash it up some more or just turn it into a pile of undead meat pulp with a big sledgehammer?)
Oohhh....just think, if ya used a blunt weapon like a sledgehammer or an axe, no matter where you hit on a zombie....chances are, its gonna be destroyed.Blade weapon would probably get stuck sooner or later if you use it on them.

As for armor....I dun think thats such a good idea.It limits agility and movement...regardless of watever armor ur wearing let it be the ol' battle plate armor or to the latest kevlar combat-suit.Once you're pinned down and the zombies start biting,clawing at you.....trying to find a vulnerable spot(like at the joints?) to bite into you.....you're pretty much down and out.
And the whole idea on ramming down zombies using a vehicle is not such a bad idea....if you're driving a land-assault all-terrain vehicle or a tank.If you're planning to use a SUV or a jaguar......I'm sure a few zombie parts will jam up between the wheels and then everything goes to heck. :sweatface: Oh...potholes and ditches are deathtraps in these scanrios.If you're vehicle gets stuck...its all over for you .

*sees ethereal Aribeth figure*
Aribeth:"Well met...do you bring news of the Waterhavian creature?"

note to self:Must change medication soon.... :sweatface:

I have to agree with Bluemaxx about armor. It can be cumbersome and it can also give the wearer a false sense of invincebility (although kevlar covers designed to prevent bites can help). I disagree about the blunt weapon thing, though. A blunt weapon has just as much of a chance of getting stuck. They can also be more tiring. A sharp, light blade is easier to use than a blunt, heavier object.

A severed zombie head, while still biting, can not actually move, so multiple cuts are not always needed. And while wielding a sword like a katana takes skill, a good one can cut through the pelvic area of a human being easily (that's where the most bone is).

But it the end, it's all a matter of skill, as JeremiahConrad said. If you can't use a katana, and there's a hatchet sitting in front of you, it's not like you're doomed.

besides, its not like you'll just gonna stand there and swipe with blades. i for one plan to run through the zombies, slashing my way. if they aren't cut by the sword, at least they'll be pushed aside.

and yeah, wearing armor isn't good. like i said, just wear something that would help retain you're speed but still offer a bit of protection. like gloves and long sleeved shirts, just so your skin isnt your first layer the zombies could bite on (or scratch).

?_? A shovel would be great to attack zombies, and a van would be great to go fetch loved ones and hightail to a safer place.

Why don't burn 'em with these :flamethrower: ? Zombies weak to Holy damage (by common fact(?)) and to Fire. Always go to a weak point for less consumption of your energy. Armors...they suck. It's always good to be agile than to be so defensive, but agility is not your defense. But at least, there is a very high chance of dodging the very slow zombies. If the zombie is Nemesis (the one on RE3:Nemesis, I call the big guy Nemesis. lol), I still think agility is good against him. (Watch out for his Rocket Launcher!)

of course. how could I forget? guess I'm gonna have to learn how to cast Pearl and Fire3 as well. having an Alexandr magicite shard shouldn't hurt, either.

Casting a spell would be mighty fine. And all the remaining people with their sanity will be very dazzled by the great effects of your magic, therefore, leaving them off-guard and Zombies will turn them into a zombie, leaving you the sole person in the world, and you will be lonely. :sad: Just kidding, dude.

While I agree completely about the fire being an effective weapon, the problem is that a Zombie hit with fire won't immediatly die, therefore making him a walking firestarter. If you can control the fire, fire is probably the best weapon you can use, but if you can't control the fire, it canbecome a worse enemy than the Zombie.

Oh btw I wasn't saying that your hammer or other bludgeon wouldn't crush the skull, I'm just saying that you are going to have to swing hard to do it, which will lower your accuracy, thus increasing the chance of a critical miss. So in the end using a melee weapon eventually does just come down to skill. :smash:

I have to agree with Boris about the bludgeon thing. A person using one has to crush a zombie's skull with it. That generally takes most of a person's strength. But if you have the endurance and accuracy to do it, by all means, do so. Go crack some zombie skulls! :biggrin:

Of course, I prefer the :enforcer: and :uzi: and swords.

I see some flaws here.
One....running through zombies and slashing away takes a lot of energy and after some time will tire you down big time.
And if you didnt manage to cut them with your sword...yes,theres a chance that they'll be pushed aside but theres an even bigger chance that your sword will end up stuck and lodged in their undead bodies, thus rendering you helpless for a moment,which is more than enough to sink their zombie teeth into your flesh.
And whose to say that if you do manage to lop off a zombie's arm with your sword...there's a chance it'll do that 'THING' act made famous from the Addams family. :sweatface:

Kuni's idea on using a shovel as a weapon is really good. Its a good bludgeon type of weapon, weighing much lesser than maces or hammers.
Oh yeah....using bludgeon weapons does take some energy but not as much as you might think. Just lift the thing or swing it towards the undead.....and let gravity+momentum do the damage. :cheesy:

well, i agree that running through will be tiring, but its not likely that you'll need to run through a whole platoon of them. maybe when their numbers are 12-20. you just need to escape, not destroy them all. anything less than 12 should be annihilated. and i trust that their decaying flesh has lost some of its toughness after all, so slicing should be a bit easier. Just slash to push 'em back, then run! for all things holy, run!

i dont like the idea of guns coz the bullets will just get lodged in their flesh, unless its one of those super hi velocity rifles. but then, the stronger the "wapak" of the gun, the heavier it is. and one things for certain, you dont want to be 30% faster than a zombie, you want to be at least 100% faster.

and wear a thick jacket, something that will give some sort of protection without lowering your maneuverability. the zombie's mouth is too short ranged to be a serious threat, more likely, the danger is their hands, which might rupture your skin and thus spread the virus. block their arms.

Reasons why:

1) It was used in WWII and was discontinued (I think)
2) Very Heavy
3) Boris' reasons
4) Illegal for a civilian to have one
and
5) Limited fuel
