Zombie Defense Station?
Seems to be a new trend in modern living — zombie defense stations. Here are some examples:
I'm not really sure a shotgun is the be-all end-all answer. Wouldn't something more bludgeoning be useful for CQB? A spiked baseball bat, for instance?
What would you put together for your zombie defense station?
Re: Zombie Defense Station?
The most important equipment in case of zombie attack is a bicycle helmet or football helmet. The zombies can't get to your brains and their fingers are frozen in rigor mortis so it is rather hard for them to take the helmet off. It has been proven time and time again that a combination of shotgun and chainsaw is the most effective way of ridding the world of zombies.

but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
I don't get it; why would you have your shotgun behind glass?
And why so little ammunition?
A rifle like an AR-15 would let you take longer range shots (if you were good enough to get headshots) and carry more ammo.I'm not really sure a shotgun is the be-all end-all answer. Wouldn't something more bludgeoning be useful for CQB? A spiked baseball bat, for instance?
For close range though, I'd think a shotgun would be very close to the ideal weapon; I can't see a situation where a bat or any kind of club would be superior (Assuming you have ammo).
In any case, I'd go for a good sword over a bat. Slice the limbs off the zombies!

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
Keeewl.. I wants one!
A vat of oil to make those stairs nice and slippery, a rope to escape via the window, a sturdy and durable bludgeoning tool, a few bottles of vodka, a bundle of sheets, and a couple of lighters.Although, having read through World War Z, I don't suspect fire will be much good.. 'tis a conundrum.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
lol. Nice. Though you would be slowed down pretty significantly. Not good when you've got a horde of shambling zombies coming at you from every which way.

Who cares when they cant hurt me.I could even take a nap once a while when hacking them apart would tire me and the only downside would be that my armour would be completely in zombie drool.Originally Posted by Justiciar

Great post Kage!
Concerning the nap, you might get disturbed by weird noises from right outside your armour.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
BKS you aren't paying attention. You have to DESTROY THE BRAIN. Setting zombies on fire is just going to annoy them.
I say a lump hammer. No room to swing a baseball bat indoors, and no way am I going outside in the middle of a zombie infestation. That would be asking to have my brains eaten. A small axe might be good too, but it could get stuck in the zombie's head, leaving you in deep trouble in a two on one zombie tag teaming situation.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
Only problem would be the water and food (I somewhat doubt that zombie drewl and zombie meat are healthy) after while and uhm "removal" of the excess. The water part should work, but the other...Who cares when they cant hurt me.I could even take a nap once a while when hacking them apart would tire me and the only downside would be that my armour would be completely in zombie drool.
Hopefully the zombies would be bored at that time.
Otherwise a good choise.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
I guess the most hazardous situation would be when in other words the "nature would call". I could be bit in where it would hurt the most.Or incase i would play it safe and stay inside my armour. I would probably be soon covered in something entirely else then zombie drool.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
I think the best bet against a zombie invasion would be a combined arms approach. In a military sense that would mean APC's and infantry working in close concert, but unless I steal one of the M-60's parked near my school I'd be better off taking one of our shotguns and having a friend follow me around with our rifle.
Making some molotov cocktails would probably be pretty useful too, since I think boiling the brain counts as destroying it.
Why is there this focus on weapons using force? Why not FIRE!?!

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
Fire would not destroy the zombie imediatelly...it would just become a walking molotov cocktail during he time was still active...not a good idea.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
Hmmm...
Trapped house, hole up in attic with emergencey exit, more on that later.
Wear combat helmet, thick clothing covering all skin, good ol' combat boots
Ideal weaponry would include a trusty rifle (Dragunov SVD, for sentimentality? AR-15 would probably be more effective, though, thanks CR), a 10-gauge (large recoil pad, lots of shooting), lighters, lots of alcohol and a Kukrhi for those who get in too close.
Traps: lots of obstacles as Zombies are very slow and clumsy; barbed wire; triggered, small-range explosives; flamables adorning every room; and my favorite: barbed caltrops affixed to the floor! A large amount of immobile zombies presents quite the defensive barrier!

Gah. You're surely mad, locking yourself up indoors. Backing oneself into a corner is seldom a good move in terms of survival. To quote Maiden; run to the hills, run for your lives. The more obscure and isolated the better.

it´s a great read...you should pick it up....
and you never know when it might become useful.

Light flanged mace, in terms of up close & personal self defence against zombies, don't think its design has been beaten. Made specifically to crush stuff through armour, never has to be reloaded, never needs to be sharpened.
Re: Zombie Defense Station?
I say Icepick for hacking. The kind with one pointy end and one blunt end.
As for ranged, I'd choose the trusty old AG-3. Accurate as hell, blows fist sized holes in whatever it hits at 200m and it has automatic fire if they should get close in numbers.
With a drum, not mag, of course.
