sudden urge

[quote=scaredycat]you lakc vision. there’s not enough ammo to kill the sheer number of infected. also, if you shoot the body, you dont stop a zombie. you have to crush the brain. it’s not going to be easy. the crowbar is probably the best, most failsafe solution. we’ve thought about it a lot. im not saying the gun wont be useful. but i think the crowbar proficient will ahve the best odds…[/quote]

While I don’t doubt that I lack vision (in this, and many other things besides), you lack experience in hand-to-hand combat (or what we called CQB: Close Quarters Battle). In battle, if you’re down to your pistol or knife, you’re screwed. End of story.

Just for shits and giggles, go outside and swing a crowbar (and I think a sleeve bar or a heavier length of pipe is probably a better choice) into a watermelon. Repeat this step about a hundred times. That shit gets tiring and fast. Plus, you’re close in, so any misstep, or trip, or stumble, and they’re on you. Game over. I’m all for stoving in the heads of the undead, if it comes to that, but, ceteris paribus, I’d rather sit back and pop their melons from a distance.

but see, zombies are slow moving. slow and relentless. it’s not like you need to swing that long unless you’re cornered. and that’s why im saying, the time to start working out with the crowbar is NOW.

[quote=pri_dk]Airborne zombies are not such an unrealistic concept. Static line jumps don’t really require much thinking. If you are jumping from something big, like a C141, you don’t even need to jump, just walk out the door. They might break a leg when they land, but zombies don’t care.

Of course someone would need to fly the plane, so I suppose the airborne zombies would need some help.

Are zombies susceptible to fire? Perhaps some fu gas would be useful in the arsenal.[/quote]

Pri: You’re onto something there. I was thinking of a moat-type system, filled with JP-4 or JP-5 (lifted from the Marine helo wing at CampPen). I was also thinking of the other toys I could lift there, once 8bit got me thinking about armor. Why would I settle for some old beat-to-shit Nasty Guard armor, when I could get the good stuff, like an M-1 Abrams, from the Marines. Or, an LAV, at a minimum. Plus, they gotta have .223, .308, and .50cal out the wazoo over there. Not to mention anti-personnel devices, med supplies, food, fuel, etc. A veritable Toys R Us for the anti-zombie crowd.

No disagreement from me, as you’re sorta making my point for me here. Having a good battle plan is key and avoiding getting cornered is paramount. I don’t disagree with the working out strategy (but I think a crowbar is a little on the light side), but it has to be part of a well thought out larger strategy.

I still think a pump shotgun is a far superior close in weapon, especially in terms of how much damage it does. Put a 3″ magnum buck load into one of their grapes and its Jackson Pollock time.
