while not really young, I did grow up in the video game generation, aka resident evil and I really think I could catch one and train it to find me more brains for tanning. and while headshots might be good for dispatching one, I think that dismembering the head and using the brain for my purposes would be much more beneficial.
I would prefer incapacitating and dismembering as a better way of getting rid of zombies. that, or closing all the macdonalds resturaunts and eliminating late-nite talkshows...
There will never be a consensus on such a cotriversial issue IMO.
I'm about the same age .. A lil older.. Than YCC... I like his idea! But I imagine you run a higher risk of infection being exposed so often... Lol...
I'd prefer some type of high-capacuty shotgun and a large cache of ammo.... A large caliiber pistol as backup... And of course, a machete to hack. At. Limbs when. Ammo runs dry.
Lol.... Zombies
Cricket bat or shovel. Preferably cricket bat.

A shot of good brandy. WIll bring folks back to reality :)
Not exactlyt sure about dispatching one, but always found that this works for me.
Zombie Cocktail recipe:
•1/2 oz 151 rum
•1 oz pineapple juice
•1 oz orange juice
•1/2 oz apricot brandy
•1 tsp sugar
•2 oz light rum
•1 oz dark rum
•1 oz lime juice
Blend all ingredients with ice except the 151 proof rum. Pour the contents of the blender into a Collins glass. Float 151 rum on top. Garnish with a fruit slice, sprig of mint, and a cherry.
Mmm,, that sounds better than my brandy. May I join you while we watch the "zombie games?
You sir, are welcome at my fire (or bar) anytime.
If zombies attack I for one am done for.You see my back yard is seperated from the local cemetary by a stone wall.I have enjoyed everyones company and have learned a thing or two along the way.
YCC..If I should stumble over your way,you can have my brains or whats left of them.Just make it a quick ending for me.I only have one request.What ever you make with my leftovers please engrave,burn in a star map of the Ursa Major and Minor.If you ever get lost you will know how to find the north star and think of me at the same time.
Honestly, this is a concern that I was totally unaware of until about 2 years ago. And yes, it's still an issue with younger men.Quote:

Maybe this will help with your debate: http://www.online-zombie-games.com/g...llows-eve.html
as i mentioned in another post, my zombie art work makes awesome targets if you print em up.
p.m. me and ill send you the link.
OMG! I can't believe we are talking about zombies again.
hmmm, imagine meeting a zombieized grizzly.
the problem with zombies is that there always seem to be too many of them.
12ga. 3" shells with 00 buck loads sounded great as a kid, but in sober light, those things are heavy. in fact, most firearm ammo is heavy.
this is why i like the machete/sword and the bat. the cricket bat is probably a superrior weapon to the baseball bat, as the oblong profile has blunt but thin sides which just look stellar for shattering bone.
immolation would be nice too. i figure a bunch of small incendiary devices couldn't possibly be more cumbersome than 200rnd of shotgun ammo.
please; do *NOT* talk about the zombie grizzlies!
*shudders*
I had one of these once..... my legs stopped working:blushing:Quote:

Live grizzlies are not "lumbering giants", why would zombie grizzlies?Quote:

for up close hand to hand combat your gonna want either a heavy blunt object like a sledge hammer or crow bar, not only can you do serious damage to a zombies brain with those tools but they cant also be used for many other uses like breaking glass or opening locked or jammed doors. if you want something a little more light weight a katana will do the job just fine.
for a last resort close range weapon a 12 gauge shot gun with buck shot is a really good choice. the reason i say last resort is because once you take a shot the noise is going to attract all other zombies that are in hearing distance. if you are good with a bow that would be a better choice.
for long range combat any semi auto rifle that is at hand will do just fine.
hope that helps :)
Beowulf65, had some great advice, on the subject! :innocent:

No. no. no. no. Never use a crowbar on a zombie. The hook will get stuck in their skull and then you're history. And have you ever tried to swing a sledge hammer like a baseball bat all day long. We're talking zombie HORDES not your run of the mill onezy, twozy, run in. Think, man. Think!!

An accurate, reliable pistol in .22lr with lots of ammo, coupled with a long and sturdy crowbar as a backup. The crowbar is a great multi-use zombie-fighting device, enable you to reach out and destroy those brains, while also enabling you to break into buildings and/or bar those same buildings shut against pursuing zombies.
maybe we have different ideas about zombies, but the general view is that you need something capable of taking them apart. 22lr doesn't fit that bill.
lightsaber...yeah, go ahead and accuse me of picking a fake weapon to dispatch a zombie!!
Not to worry, for what it is worth, I shall leap to your defense for choosing a fake weapon to kill a mythical creature!!! After all, this is the internet in the U.S.of A.!!!!!!!:innocent:Quote:

Since a zombie break out would be a sign of civilization's unraveling social conventions adhered to for the greater good can be abandoned. There improvised munitions would be one of my choices. Home made symtex, napalm, claymores and other mines in places that would funnel following zombies into a tightly constricted killing field, or should that be RE-killing? After that the few left can be finished off with a 12 gauge shotgun at distance or my hophornbeam club or kukri up close.
Ooh. I like lightsaber a lot. Short of that, a really good laser pointer.
LOL, LOL, LOL, my mind is picturing zombies chasing(lumbering?) around after the little red dot, like the cat (real slow cat? Maybe zombie cat?).Quote:

Exactly!! They are attracted to noise and movement so all you have to do is run that dot around on the side of a building and all the zombies will migrate to that building. Then you just walk them to the river and ...... bubble......
