Zombie invasion weapons

[awmperry]

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

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)

Actually, the USS Nimitz is nuclear-powered, just like the nuclear-powered submarine - and both of them are aided by one of the key benefits of nuclear-powered vessels... the fact that they rarely need to refuel.

The Nimitz, for instance, needs new fuel rods for its reactor every 20 years, and more modern vessels (Nimitz is 35 years old now) can go for up to 25.

So yeah - a bit of research and you've got the ideal vessel for your plans.

its the Heavy bolters that fire bolts that size. normal boltguns fire bolts the size of your finger.

Oh, I dunno. Standard bolters are chambered for .75 or .998 - a fair bit bigger than my fingers, and I'm 6'4"... ;-)

A machete and an AK47, how many times must I tell you? Gaaawwwd.

 

[captaincabbage]

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.

lol how is your idea any more serious than mine? XD
tho it is an awesome idead, I'll give you that.

A radioactive Zombie badger launcher, Weapons of Mass Distraction and Shotguns. You don't have to aim that good, just near their head and you can kill 2 at least.

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.

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.

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.

My bad. Looks like I forgot about the pressure.

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 ;-)

Well OBVIOUSLY. I do have eight slots to fill with seeds, and most of them go unused. The pots only take up one of the eight slots despite how encumbering they are, though.

Alright then the spare space will hold more supplies.
Now I just need about 4000 qualified people before the outbreak.

ITS PERFIC!

Something that can be used at range but doesn't need reloading like a really big knife or a fork that would hurt... fork marks all over your face zombie... oww (10 points for vague reference)

 

[tanoko10]

I want to say flamethrower, but there's the issue of limited fuel and that makes me sad. I guess a combo of a flamethrower and a light melee weapon with good range.

well the problem with the flame thrower is that it causes more danger than safety because you have a walking zombie on fire.

 

[WolfThomas]

Melee:
A standard issue fireaxe
A mace
One "Rambo" knife

Ranged:
A scoped bolt action hunting rifle, Win .308
A double barrel 12 gauge shotgun (more reliable than a pump action)
An AK-47 (Looks cool, in case I have to impress other survivors)
2 revolvers, preferably 9mm Parabellum

I approve of all of these weapons however not together. All of those by themselves, let alone ammunition, food, water and medical supplies, is too heavy and cumbersome to effectively carry. Okay let say you might have a house or car, but what would you actually grab if you had to evacuate on foot?

 

[masseyguy911]

Well i would have a few things...
1. a Crowbar, or maybe an axe, lightweight and lots of uses.
2. Shotgun... its a shotgun need i say more?
3. Handgun, nothing in particular a 9mm would be good, as thats the most common type of handgun you can find so ammo wont be to much of a concern finding.
4. Rifle, either fully automatic or semi automatic, no bolt or lever action ones, and one that uses clips, also one that uses ammo that would be easy to find like .22.
5. Knife, never know when your gonna need one.

Thats really about it, also clothing wise, wear leather, lightweight easy to move in and provides good protection, since zombies can only bite or claw at you and well have you tried eating a leather jacket? Not to easy to chew threw. Helmet is a must, like a motorcycle helmet, and also try to expose as little skin as possible.

Edit
Ok so i realize that i left the shotgun part a little vague... so let me fix that
2. Shotgun, pump action, semi automatic if you can find one. 12 gauge is the most common type you will find, and the ammo is easy to find, also do NOT go with a double barrel shotgun, may look cool and sounds like a good idea, but since it can only hold 2 shots its just not worth it.

Pump, double barrel or lever? Sawn-off?

Motorcycle gear is pretty good, anything that is puncture and graze resitant is stab and claw resitant. Only problem is overheating if it's summer/hot state.

You are of course right, good Sir.

These weapons are indeed intended for a situation where I could have remained for an extended period of time, or had some sort of transportation to aid me.

But should I be forced to flee on foot, I would gather the following:

A mace or machete (most likely machete to save weight, though the mace has great skull crushing capabilities)
A "Rambo" knife
A scoped bolt action hunting rifle, though with a detatchable scope. Win .308
One revolver, 9mm

As for my survival kit, I would pack the following in a sturdy backpack:

LED flashlight, with at spare AAA batteries
4 KG of rice
One military issue canteen (the type that can double as a cooking device)
2 Swedish FireSteel [http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travel-outdoors/754d/]
Compass
Map of the county I am currently in (and perhaps of areas I intend to go to)
A lightweight sleeping bag
300 Win .308 rounds
100 9mm rounds
A survival medkit
A bandana, preferably sporting skulls
Military issue, lightweight binoculars
A small titanium can opener (Don't want to dull my knife)

Ah very nice, I have one of those firesteel device by a completely different market name (called something lame like a gospark). Might I suggest getting a bivvy bag, it's a waterproof sack to sleep in with your sleeping bag, they don't weight much, keep you dry and you can stuff all you gear and spare clothes in the gap between it and your sleeping bag to keep them dry and your warmer.

My supplies are very similar, I've got some chest webbing (or a battle bra) which I use when hutning, I plan to keep ammo, water, small dry food, maps, binoculars and my waterproof poncho in that. Basically immediate survival stuff, then I'll have a heavier pack with food, medicine, spare ammo, water and misc. So if I get jumped or surprised I can ditch the pack somewhere I'll remember and come back later.

I'm think of getting a LED flashlight mounted on my rifle, its a pump action .223 remington 7615 with a red dot sight. I hope (being in Australia) to eventually/soon get a handgun license for sporting shooting, so if I could I'd have some sort of semi-automatic 9mm (though only with 10round mags because that the law). I have a kabar hunting knife and I plan to carry a crowbar, using it as a walking stick and keeping it in my hand at most times ready to swing.

Overall to good to see people prepared. Eternal vigilance is the only way to stop the zombie apocalypse (am I joking? I really don't know at this point).
