Zombie strength

[Standard]

I would probably wait out in the Beer Store DC, the walls are 18" thick concrete and i've heard that you can live off of beer and vitamins indefinitely, my only shortfall would be pretzels

I want it.

Zombies aren't any stronger than normal humans, they just don't produce lactic acid so they keep going until their muscles tear.

Oh, and I highly suggest you all read this thread:

I just read all of that, and couldn't find anything about zombie pussy.

that had nothing to do with anything, but is it weird Jessica Alba never looked so good to me?

A splendid photo indeed.

Hmm.... I wonder if she wasn't a corpse for very long, would it still be rank? Say, for example, she was walking around and then got bit, and then turned like 20 minutes ago.

That's an excellent question. And it raises all sorts of questions! Why do all zombies appear to be rotten and decayed? Does becoming a zombie entail rapid putrification of the body, or would a person, upon being bitten, infected, or otherwise zombified slowly become all nasty over time? In my mind, banging a freshly zombied chick would be enjoyable. Kind of like banging a girl who'd been lobotomized.

I disagree. I think they are on permanent "survival of the fittest" mode, and are activating all muscle fibers all the time - basically creating a 1RM-type neuromuscular response at all times.

There's nothing weird about that at all.

I wouldn't have known that was Alba.


Also, Brooks has a book WWZ that goes with the Survival Guide. I heard there gonna make movie of it.

My most common method is go to my national Guard base (haha) load up on weapons(m4a1 and m16- reliable as hell and a shotty) and MRE's.

man, if you want to talk reliability I would rather grab an AK than and AR15/M16/M4. The AR design is noterious for requiring constant maintenance. However if I had the chance to grab an AR15/M16/M4 that had been converted over to a gas piston setup I would totally be down for that weapon. I would shit bricks if I could get my hands on a Barret REC7 and a bunch of ammo for it I would shit bricks. Oh and if I was gonna be posted up somewhere and trying to snipe the zombie horde I would prefer a Barret M82 since I could simply aim for center mass for kills.

Fever gone but itchy. Hungry and eat doggy food. Itchy. Itchy. Scott came. Ugly face so killed him. Tasty

Is it weird that my first thought is how funny it would be to run into that group swinging a cricket bat, and then try to explain to the police that you honestly thought you were defending yourself from a zombie apocalypse.

and anyone suggesting anything other than a katana as a melee weapon is obviously unfit to survive the oncoming hordes.

No, no, no. When will people learn, firstly you need headshots to bring down zombies, secondly you have to consider weight, your insanely heavy rifle with it's massive ammo will be no use to you if your position is overrun and you have to scarper.

7.62 bolt action for keeping them at range
pumpaction 12 gauge for close quarters
backup handgun for last resort
katana for shits and giggles

Bladed weaponry for melee combat is prone to getting stuck. The last place you want to be is against a group of zombies with your blade stuck in the first one. ****l baseball bat w/ a couple bolts sticking half an inch out of it at the end FTW.

Only if you suck with a sword (yes, I went there).

Besides if you're using a melee weapon against zombies you're pretty much up the creek sans paddle. All your effort should be focused on keeping the damn things as far away as possible, only time they get within 100m is when you search buildings for supplies and ammo, that's what the shotty's for.

I suppose worse comes to worse you could always just beat them with your shotgun, that'd save on weight that you'd have to carry around since you'd no longer need a melee weapon... I'm glad we have this discussion.

A katana is very effective yes, if you are properly trained in how to use one. Most people would try to use one to cleave into someone, therefore possibly getting the blade stuck in the target. A katana is better used to open up soft tissue. Honestly most of the population does not know the technique to properly wield a katana, the technique which would allow you to dismember foes.

As for my reference to a .50 caliber sniper rifle used to fire at enemies center mass, the same rules apply as the rules for the katana. Most people cannot fire 1000 yard headshots and would be better served to fire at center mass instead of hunting for head shots at 1000 yards.
