Preferred weapons for a Zombie Crisis

[Deadman_Deluxe]

ok, for years i have had many half cut discussions with me crew about this one, and i believe i have refined the ultimate set up... * shark bite proof wetsuit (i've seen them, and they kick ass) * US football helmet * proper samurai sword (a long one) * knee high doctor martens * hammer that way you can chop off the heads, and if they make a dive for you, arms flailing, you can just lop off the arms, kick em back and decipitate... Hahahaha ... that's so funny man! I am sitting behind liam (on a space hopper obviously!) in what i believe is a far more refined and infinitley more functional version of liams smashing outfit. * Elvis style diamond coated silver jumpsuit, and matching cape. * Beer/Radio baseball cap (holds two cans and has two "drop down" drinking tubes) * Stick of celery (a long one) * Really big clown shoes (Gold, size 1200) * Framed picture of Adolf Hitler I have also written the words "I AM NOT AFRAID TO DIE" in red lipstick on my own face, and i have a large backpack filled to the brim with balloons containing my own urine, which have presumably all burst ...

I've seen those. True to the advert, they must be held at 90 degrees from vertical, yo.

Weapons than can shot more of one bullet per time, isn't necessary. Only need one shoot to the head. Don't waste the bullets!...

Weapons than can shot more of one bullet per time, isn't necessary. Only need one shoot to the head. Don't waste the bullets!... If you demolish the pelvic bone, you cannot phisically walk. Removal of the head kills the body, and you are left with a head only... Remove legs or arms, and you limit the z's ability to get you as easily... but true, one to the head seems to work-- I mean in GAR's uni...

Well, since I'm living in England with this handgun ban, I'd have to rely on a display sword (it's really heavy, the weight alone could bust a head). A shotgun would be useful, no need to be a good shot. I suppose once the necrocalypse has been going for a while, I might find weapons from police/army/territorial army last stands. How about sword and police riot shield? They are transparent and tough. Perhaps a cricket helmet, one with the wire grid. It won't get steamed up. Definately a cricket box. Got to look after the crown jewels.

What about a "15 INCH BLACK RUBBER COCK"!!!! it worked in Guy Ritchie movies.....

[CornishCorpse]

Im also in england and yeah the gun ban is a real whore but luckily as you can guess by my name I live in Cornwall and just like in the styx of any countries shotguns are a plenty not to mention a friend of mine has a particular fetish for Swords and axes. My preferred weapon would either be one of the guns from the slaughterhouses with the metal bolt that shoots out and pulls itself back in or the good old fashioned Hatchet. Alright this is last post I swear, jus realized Ive popped up six times on the front page..Heh Sorry Im new to this, enthusiasm. An odd thing coming from a brit.

I think I'll go with the list below 1. I'd go with a pellet gun. Lots of ammo and if you pump it up enough it just might be able to penetrate (spellcheck) the soft tissue of our undead enemies. 2. Max Brooks book Zombie survival guide 3. Katana for short range combat 3. Silenced scoped rifle, maybe the one out of MGS PGS1 or what ever it was called

Hi, In an abandonned gunshop from the Romero universe , i will choose: - A powerful handgun/sniper rifle: The wildey gun "silhouette" will be a good choice, a big handgun that can be upgraded to become a sniper rifle. - An handgun with silencer: an AMT hardballer. - A big camp knife, machete or kukri. Sorry, I can't post links.

Hi, In an abandonned gunshop from the Romero universe , i will choose: - A powerful handgun/sniper rifle: The wildey gun "silhouette" will be a good choice, a big handgun that can be upgraded to become a sniper rifle. - An handgun with silencer: an AMT hardballer. - A big camp knife, machete or kukri. Sorry, I can't post links. Realisticaly(sp?), you need high capacity, reliabilty, and readiness of ammo. Sorry to say Europe, you are proverbaly(sp?) screwed. I would try for an odd shotgun or stick to machetes and bludgeoning weapons. Britain, you are really screwed-- gun laws and all. The US and to an extent Mexico, Mid East, Far east (Vietnam, Thailand, Phillipines, etc) Latin America, Africa, nd maybe the remotness of certain islands that can sustain life will be better suited. Granted the US is more violent, but the lax gun laws, especially in the South would mean a greater portion of the populace can defend themselves at range. That being said, pick something in NATO 5.56/.223 in a ranged weapon, .45ACP, 9mmPB, or even .38 Special and .357 MAG in the US would mean you could raid any Wal-Mart and stock up. 12 GA is really great for cole in defense-- get a #4 Pheasant/duck load and you do devastating davage close in with little chance of "friendly fire" casualties. Plus reloading 12 GA is an easy prospect, even for the novice. I used to reload several boxes an hour while drinking beer and smoking up in high school, and I never had a round that gave me issues. So I would choose (as mentioned before) an M4 Ar-15 carbine-- in the A2 config for a mid range weapon. I would take my .45XD for shorter range damage. A good 22oz claw hammer will suffice for good skull penetration up close and personal. I picked a warhammer n my fantasy, but realistically the 22oz clawhammer is lights, powerful and can be found at any hardware store/Home Depot/Wal-Mart-- Wear long sleeves-- try to get a real leather (not-- NOT Corinthian!!!) jacket, good work boots- steel toes preferred but not really needed, good Levis-- not cheapo-- denim pants, and good light leather gloves. Keep moving, travek light and find a good ready supplied position and keep quiet. Stay alert, stay alive....

..may as well give in and give my two cents...id reckon id like a suit of police riot gear, with the shield a small one hand axe and a sledgehammer, for breaking and entering as well. though the evlis outfits a close second

[Shadowofthedead]

id stick to mainly melee weapons.... throwin knives and stars, wakazashis and katanas.... stuff like that... you know the pick axes they use in vertical limit... two of those for brain penetration and can be purchased at a big chain hard ware store. knives and the such are nearly weightless and you are only limetd by how many you can carry "ice" picks can be used as a defensive weapon with their curved design as well as easy penetration. throwin knives can be used for stabbing if their longg enough and stars would take some practice to use properly but what human enemy would mess with you from a short range melee battle if you even had them out most people would duck for cover if they saw these in your hand it would be a nice escape mechanism. japanese swords... enough said... just make sure they are "battle ready". other than that a length of wood will work. armor... anything that isnt heavy and that will work... more than likely bullet proof if i could obtain one from a dead swat officer or something. guns id have to go with a lever action rifle and some kind of pistol. all is open for discussion and silenced is better but the ammo must be plentiful. and alcohol the harder the better. think molotovs and if you "know" that you are in a secure area why not unwind a little and also good for cleanin wounds that arent "fatal". other than that please suggest... a weapon that has many diiferent uses is beneficial to carry. personally ill stick with what ive got or can get. so im gonna prepare now while i still can... not for zombies but for the next depression. its comin soon...

i love threads like this, 30 carbine, great rifle it may be underpowered for a rifle round but it would get the job more than done. 30 carbine out of a pistol or revolver, is an earsplitting flame thrower. my choice would be fn p90 has 100 round box mags if i could afford one. 22lr would be perfect imo, subsonic ammo silencers, a ruger 10/22 butler creek 25 round mags as many as you can get and dont forget butler creek mag loaders so much faster than hand loading. some ruger 22/45's and as many mags as you can get for close up stuff again silenced. imo staying quiet is very important, working in teams of 2 or 3 is even more important, 1 or 2 people to shoot and at least one person to reload mags.
