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.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
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
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
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!

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.

A machete? Please. Have these people not tried using the knife in Resident Evil?
I think if I was confronted with an undead uprising I'd want to be packing a flamethrower, personally.

Uhm.... Why would we need anything when the Octosquids will destroy them for us?

BKS you aren't paying attention. You have to DESTROY THE BRAIN. Setting zombies on fire is just going to annoy them.Originally Posted by Big King Sanctaphrax
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?
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.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
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.

Re: Zombie Defense Station?
Great post Kage!
Concerning the nap, you might get disturbed by weird noises from right outside your armour.

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.

As an avid fan of zombie apocalypse movies and comics, I should throw in my two cents.
Find yourself a Super Wal-Mart or similar department store. Firearms, ammo, mattresses, canned food, bottled water, TVs, internet, and anything else you need to hold off on the year long siege. Wal-Marts have glass entrances, but can be protected by their metal cages that descend from the ceiling. Bring with you family, friends, and other survivors to barricade and clear the store.
Once you secure the store, send out convoys to the local National Guard armories for weapons, and find specialists who can operate nearby powerplants and water treatment facilities. Hopefully you wont need to do this, but every little bit helps.
