Zombie invasion weapons

[fullbleed]

Oh,well,grenades?

Or something that can take down multiple targets at once,lightweight,and easy to use.I was thinking about chainsaw,but i once held it in my hands in real life,and I'm pretty sure it's too heavy for my fragile arms to wave it around effectively.

So i'm gonna go for a Katana.

Grenades are actually one of the worst things, the shrapnel they use has an extremely low chance of destroying the brain.

As for meelee a crowbar or axe, both are effective, fairly light, a good range, durable, and have seperate uses.

As for guns a semi automatic rifle, preferably with common ammo, and as for a sidearm I'd just go for a 9mm since ammo is also relatively common and its reliable.

But personally I'd just go running around like an idiot with a red queen replica.

Sounds like you've been reading your zombie survival guide A machete will probably be the best weapon for killing zombies as it's a resourceful tool that has many purposes, it's durable and it's very effective at hacking and choping and even just crushing with enough weight behind it.

It seems very muhc like the knee jerk reaction of nerds to choose a katana but that's not an ideal weapon, something effective at killing humans by slicing and stabbing and causing them to bleed out wont work in the same way against humans clearly. You need to destroy the brain or remove the head and that is where the katana falls down, no matter what you might believe it's not going to be easy at all to decpitate with that type of lightweight weapon. An axe or a machete will have enough weight to achive these goals.

There is no one perfect weapon. You need a combination.

For crowd control and rushes you want something with a high rate of fire akin to an uzi or similar that allows for a nice spray of shots.

You want something with range and stopping power.

You definitely need at least a pistol or two.

I yield to all the vg gun nuts out there who know specified model numbers better than I.

a light, durable and effective melee weapon for when shit gets real hairy is a must. such as a gladius, machette or a light foot and a half long steel pipe wrapped in black tape for grip works.

/forgets what he was saying and starts up L4D2

I disagree.

You cannot shamble away from this.

 

[Mrrrgggrlllrrrg]

The best weapon you have is your mind but one way or another you will die.

Melee: dual butterfly swords (blunt or sharp, either will kill)
gun: (fictional) Fallout 3's Rock-it Launcher, (real) any high ammo pistol.

Science! More specifically, anatomy, I think.

Spoiler: For those who don't mind ruining the fantasy by overthinking it

Zombies don't seem possible without necromancy, being that in order to operate, (I'm told) our brains need to send messages to the body via the nervous system. If the body is dead, this probably won't work very efficiently. As such, even if some virus or other cliche infects someone, I think the most they could do is lie on the ground in great frustration.

I've heard it's not that simple and science-born undead could be plausible somehow, but I'm not convinced.

If it's black magic zombies, I'd go around collecting holy symbols, as seen in this delightful distraction. [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/422645]
One of them's bound to work against this particular evil, right?

 

[AngryMongoose]

Airborne Instant Zombie Cure, in large quantities, and a modified leaf blower.

 

[QCX]

The doco super-sized.

Because a majority of zombie plagues seem to be in the USA, showing them super-sized might be enough to stop them from eating the people that inhabit the land.

If not that team fortress 2 and about 80 cans of red bull.

 

[JohnSmith]

Depends if you mean the plausible kind of zombies like the ones from "28 Days Later" then any weapon that gives human killing wounds will put them down eventually your real problem is not getting splashed while you do it, which makes something like glazer safety rounds or bi-metallic bullets sound like a good move. For the other kind of zombies the slow destroying brain as only kill method variety melee weapons may be more effective but honestly if they are slow and you can get your hands on a rifle and a high place that would be much easier. If not get a spear like object tape a laser pointer to it and stab through the eye socket.

A fully stocked USS Nimitz with most of the interior space re-designed to hold extra fuel

1. Zombies can't swim
2. Its loaded with hundreds of missles
3. It also carries a few nukes should you ever get bored and want to watch something go boom
4. It has jets
5. Its a god damn aircraft carrier dude!
6. MOTHERFUCKIN' NUKES!

Why not a nuclear submarine? Also, make sure you screen the crew for zombie outbreak.

Theres not enough space in a nuclear sub, plus it would run out of fuel and that means docking, which would be risky. With the Nimitz I have fashioned it so that the non-essential space is used for spare fuel and supplies, this way I don't have to dock for years (especially if I rarely ever move the carrier)

I would also have at least 4 doctors on board for regular medical examinations of the entire crew (once a week) and I would also have as many immune crewmembers as possible along with scientists who will work on a cure.

I like the Nimitz because it would almost be like a small city, which I would call Rivet City and it offers pretty much everything you need.

This sounds like a good setting for an RP...Rivet City, the last bastion of humanity.

Btw, zombies can't swim, but they can walk under the water xD They won't die and will just emerge on the other side/place/building.

OMG...RAPTURE! Zombies versus Splicers/Big Daddys/Little Sisters/Big Sisters?

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Traps?
Zombies are retarded.

Lock myself and another human being (preferably, oposite sex, to rebuild the world) in a fishing boat in supplies, ammo and fuel to last for five years. They can't swim

Zombie fish?...

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

two words: Fuckin' R.Y.N.O.

It's the pig piece of barrel at 0:31.

Seriously tho, can anyone else imagine how awesome this thing would be againts an apocalyptic hoarde?

Yeah, but come on, it'd be a total balance-killer. Let's be serious for a second.

You want a REAL weapon to use against the zombie hordes? I suggest a spy revolver with "Live and Let Die"-style compressed air bullets. You know, the ones that blow you up to three times your normal size before your body finally explodes from the pressure. (Or, if you're unlucky enough to be shot in the colon, you fart out your entire digestive tract.)

Imagine this one used on the walking dead. Hell, imagine this one used on ANYTHING. I'd like to see what it does against a vampire, for example.

AMT automag V now thats a mean old gun... shame its way to powerful for me to use effectivley and the ammo's quite rare...

this is probably completly useless but still I mean its a table and mace:http://www.cpaulcarter.com/blog/archives/blog_sep06.htm

If I'm allowed to dable into the world of fiction, namely science fiction it would have to be dun dun dur... the deathstar with included army of stormstroopers, mabye some warhammer 40k space marines with bolters (bolters are bascily machine guns which fire explosive rounds the size of your fist)

 

[SpecklePattern]

Sunflowers and various types of pea plants. I can beat ANY horde with those. Unless the horde is on the roof of my house, in which case I need sunflowers, cabbages, watermelons, and corn.

xD I got that. But you have to bring some pots to the roof, for the plants can't grow on the roof itself ;-)

 

[Rhymenoceros]

Combo between

1)Uzi or other Sub-machine gun: light wait and good for if there are lots rushing at once

2)Spass 12 or other shotgun: If they start to get close these will easily deal with them

3)Axe or other Melee weapon: If things get hairy get flailing!

All Pack-A-Punch'ed of course

so many flaws with that...

first off, zombies can't shamble across the bottem of the ocean.
human bodies naturally float, the only reason we see divers walking across the ocean floor is only because said divers have weighted suits which anchors them down. hell go to any swimming pool and try and walk across the deep end normally and tell me how that works out.

second. they will die. the pressure diffrences between sea level and sea floor are so vast. it is enough to crush a human skull in most cases... which will kill your imaginary magic zombies.

lastly... how the hell are they going to emerge on a Boat? the boat isn't connected to the sea floor, and zombies can't swim.

 

[Daxus13]

When the zombies go in the Sea and the fish come along if the fish eat the zombies, will we get fish zombies?

 

[vallorn]

a Boltgun and power armour. with the old issue chainsaw bayonet (look at the chaos marine models...) boltguns would kill in one hit and the chainsaw bayonet would be excellent against them at close range and the power armour would be completly invulnrable to zombies.

i would prefer a suit of terminator armour with a power axe and twin linked boltgun but id have to kill the current chosen wearing it and that would be near immposible.

Spoiler: also because of these

[HEADING=1]Behold!...THE PLANET KILLER!![/HEADING]

Your plan has a couble of realy obvious flaws. First off, you do realise that a Nimitz
class aircraft carrier is nuclear powered right? So your plan is to strip out the hull and fill it with uranium?

Even if you could shield the "fuel", the ship needs a crew of 3200 people to operate, and a further 2480 crew for the air wing.
