Zombie's CAN go into water, and they will. Even if you left a zombie in the middle of the dead sea, and came back a year later, his brain nor body would decompose, for reasons unknown to us. But if you've read World War Z, you'll know that a large problem came from zombies shuddering along the bottom of the Oshen.
Also, ever read Last Blood? The mega-zombie was at the bottom of the ocean at the start.

Zombies could not float to the bottem of the ocean. The pressure would implode their brains. Hell humans die with a 1000 or so feet. And we are talking about miles of ocean. So on a oil rig you are functionally safe..Aslong as you have food..(Waters not a problem, YOU ARE SURRONDED BY IT. Hmm. Oil Rig+Soil+Seeds+A lot of damn fertlizer+Back-up non-perishables for a year?
Surrounded by seawater, perhaps. Best to make sure the oilrig has a desalination plant aboard before hedging all your bets.

It's their growls. Other Zombies can hear them for miles, see it's like this, one zombie sees a person and growls, a click away, a zombie hears that growl, growls, and follows it, and so on. We are talking about one zombie per click though, try ten, or more often, a hundred.

Stay off the freeway.
Replace growls with moans, and you have near an exact quote from World War Z. I suddenly like you a lot more than I did.

I'd assume the parasite, due to its habit of living in the brain, would consume that first, causing the re-death of the zombie. Therefore, a lack of food can be indirectly responsible for killing a zombie.
But I think it would be fair to say it's worth planning for at least a 5 year onslaught of the undead. By that point you're essentially going to be self-sufficient anyway (and maybe bagged your own Sarah Polley to repopulate the earth with).
Wouldn't a crossbow be the better choice than a long bow. It's smaller longbow and loads as fast as a bolt-action rifle.

I love that book. Taken from my favorite part of the book, the retaliation after yonkers. In Hope, New Mexico. So epic.

Yeah that or you could spend your vast free-time boiling water yourself. If you have a very fine filter that may also work.(Right?)

And what little salt thats still in it would be negligible because it might be good for your body so you don't get a goiter.(Well if you ate fish it could make up for the otherwise salt-less Diet.

But you see, the infinity sign gives it infinite ammo.

Ahhh.

In metal gear solid 3, after you beat the game and get the gun the Patriot, which has unlimited ammo, SIGINT asks, how does it have unlimited ammo?

Snake says "It's ammo is shaped like the infinity symbol."

In short, I was trying to say that it's zombies, physics don't apply.

Much the same way infinite ammo doesn't need an explenation.

Still do you think its easy to get up onto a oilrig? If a zombie can climb a ladder humanity is fucked.(If they can climb they can interact with doors/switchs and so forth.

1)Aim for the head
2) keep ammo in the clip, and a decent melee weapon ready
a)Locate EVERY nearby store in which weapons/non-perishable food/supplies can be found
b) Locate the medieval/fantasy weapons shop in every shopping mall you go to (There is ALWAYS one)
3)BRING A BLOODY CLERIC! Turn Undead instantly kills zombies at lvl 6(ish) and from thereon in will decimate their ranks like a hot knife through butter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn Undead will NOT work against viral zombies.

-Addendum: Paladins will also work in the same function, provided they are of great enough rank and experience. They also have access to a Holy Avenger +16 and are invaluable.

I have a large amount of guns and ammo in my house,and my dads v10 dodge is about as close to a tank as I can get, so I figure taking that and all my guns and heading for a good hiding place would work, or holing up in the library/government building, Its a big 4 story building with no ground level windows big enough for a person to get through. and steel doors and enough vending machines strewn through the building to last me a long time. plus I would never run out of reading material, plus free high speed!! atleast until infrastructure fails.

depends on what kind of zombies for one. If their dead rising zombies, find a nice big building, block the stairs off, hide on the top floor with guns, ammo, food. If their left 4 dead zombies, pray to god you can outrun them.

You Americans have it easy. If zombies break out us Brits will have to make crossbows or something. :(
Well, I've got a functional nuclear base within a bike's ride.
which was probably the cause of said invasion.

If they're fast zombies, YOU RUN. YOU RUN LIKE HELL AND NEVER STOP RUNNING.

If they're shambling zombies, you'll be okay, as long as you headshot them.

Speaking of which, headshots are the only way (allegedly) to kill a zombie.

Guns > Melee Weapons, ALWAYS, in a zombie apocalypse.

However, on the other hand, katanas don't run out of ammunition and are good at decapitating.

If a company called the Umbrella Corporation is ever created, everyone within range is to lynch the board of directors and whomever else is in charge immediately and burn their headquarters to the ground. Then nuke the headquarters from orbit just to be sure.

If the situation is desperate, try pretending to be a zombie until you can get to a safe hiding place.

Ignore the above suggestion if the zombies are controlled/possessed by malevolent spirits or Satan.

When all else fails, try joining the zombies. You may have to gnaw off your own hand as tribute and may need to take up cannibalism, but hey, you'll still be alive.

The best strategy is 'remove the head, or destroy the brain'.
But in England, things get difficult in the way of firearms. We'd have to defend ourselves with cricket bats, shovels and our Dad's old viynl record collections...
There wouldn't be a Britain left in the case of a mass worldwide Zombie outbreak.
