I am, to be frank, of the opinion that a supermarket/kmart/whatever in america is a great supply of ammunition.manaman said:

With the clarification, then the short answer is there isn't actually any hope of escape. With a mere 16 feet four inches to play with inevitably you would be overrun. Hiding in the trashcan MAY work but I suspect that the scenario is painted specifically so that it's a death trap no matter how you approach the problem. There is no way to drop zombies quickly enough with even a pump shotgun to keep from being overrun (even if ammunition were not a problem), and certainly no way to bludgeon them to death (especially considering how hard one must swing a blunt instrument to cause severe brain damage and thus kill a zombie).
In that scenario, I'd hide in the garbage can and hope for the best. If they find you then you're screwed but you're screwed regardless. Then, I'd simply wait for a more favorable scenario in which to attempt my break-out. When this plan failed, I'd opt for the shotgun instead of being chewed to death. I don't see any glory or honor to be gained if I opt to go down swinging in what is clearly the fall of mankind.

Stores like Wal-Mart carry both weapons and ammunition in the United States. In the Wal-Mart just down the street I can conservatively say that they have (on display) more than 2,000 rounds of shotgun ammunition and tens of thousands of rounds of various caliber handgun ammunition along with a few hundred rounds of assorted rifle ammunition. Shotguns and rifles are available there as well, however handguns are not oddly enough. It would be here that I curse my decision to use a .40 S&W caliber handgun as it is much less available than 9mm para rounds are.manaman said:

Everyone knows Wal-Mart is the go-to place for the apocalypse. They have everything!manaman said:
Since there is so much ammo on a Wal-Mart it would be a very bad place to be in a zombie apocalypse. A lot of people would have the idea of going to hide/get supplies, it would be the perfect place for people to start having fights.Eclectic Dreck said:
One of the main aspects of the original zombie movies was that the zombies weren't the biggest threat, people were. Zombies were slow and dull and relatively easy to kill, but people died because they made mistakes (usually very stupid ones) and compromised other peoples's safety.
Add panic to the mix and you would be fucked up

I'd do the Thriller dance. Maybe that'd distract them long enough for me to sneak away and use the bullets if they catch me.
Good, good...Flying-Emu said:
Have you realized that you have 2 shotgun shells only and are surrounded by 100 ravenous zombies?
If there was no fire escape, I'd probably Crouch down in the dumpster, hoping that they can't figure out how to get to me, or that the dumpster is too tall for them to clamber into. If there is a fire escape overhead, as if it was an architecturally sound alley that is up to code, I would try and get up at least one level higher than the shamblers below me. Zombies are notorious in their hatred of both ladders and stairs, their most oppositional arch-nemesis, thwarting many of their decaying schemes.
I wouldn't have a shotgun. I'd have a paper plate and an empty stapler, and I would beat them all to death before vomiting and falling asleep.Papopapo456 said:
But in all seriousness, I'd crawl in a corner and die.
Well since shotguns don't use bullets I would die. That or fight to the death World Eaters style. For ANGRON!

This gives me my survival idea! I'd loudly proclaim, "Dammit and I wanted to go to Wal*Mart!" to which the zombies would suddenly regain some sense and look disgusted, walking off muttering, "... at least being eaten you would have died with some dignity."la-le-lu-li-lo said:
Wal*Mart so horrible even the walking dead pity you if you shop there.
Er yeah, there seems to be a bit of confusion here as to how you answer a hypothetical question-if you read the original post (you know, that one placed by the person posing the actual question), there is no dumpster in the alley, that was thrown in by later by people deciding they didn't like the limitations of said hypothetical question- if we're playing by those rules then I'll just throw in a drain with a loose manhole cover.RavingPenguin said:
- also, an alley (according to the definition of the country that invented the language) is a narrow affair, maybe 6 foot max- so my solution would be sound. If you're in America you'd be pretty much fucked, but thats what you get for being a bunch of tubby bastards that need to spread everything out- natural selection again
Oh fuck, I'm disecting a zombie related hypothetical question- fuck this, time for bed...

So true, so true!
I remember the day I realized Wal-Mart was the most depressing place on earth. It was a sad day indeed.
I know the feeling, add to it the one closest to me is a dump (granted most are) and proudly have not set foot in one in a year or two now. I really hate that store.la-le-lu-li-lo said:Ohh god.

Goodwill is up there. I saw blood on a wedding dress there once. No lie.Bourne said:
I have, unfortunately, been required to step foot inside said store from time to time. Out of necessity, I assure you. 'Tis never a pleasant experience!
