sudden urge

[8bitnintendo]

WWZ was good, but broke zombie canon in a lot of ways. Smart talking zombies, rats and other animals being able to turn into zombies, etc. I appreciate it for bringing new attention to the zombie menace, but I wouldn’t plan to use it as a textbook.

Time to Netflix some Romero, this is making me want to revisit the zombie classics.

[quote=8bitnintendo]That’s true, but a group of 3-4 people could get by with some concertina wire and perimeter lights to keep the zombies in place while you go for a headshot. Zombies washing up would occur only sporadically, and (assuming your island is not visible/audible from the mainland) you will not have waves of purposeful zombies. I like this island idea and am willing to contribute my efforts to this venture. Who’s got a boat? :)[/quote]

8bit: Actually, there are some excellent next generation automated defense systems out there right now that would fit the bill. Single or twin .50cal M2 heavy machine guns hooked up to intrusion detection sensors on your perimeter fence or wire. We’d have to stockpile a shitload of .50cal, but its a completely automated system. Saw a live demo for one of these recently and it was pretty friggin’ impressive. Twin .50cals hooked up to a thermal imaging and CCTV system and run by a remote control operator over a mile distant.

Automated ma deuces sound like they’d be awesome to witness. You’d need low light rather than thermal since zombies probably emerge the water at around ocean temperature.

Can it be calibrated to shoot high? Unless it’s scoring headshots, it’d have to tear the zombie apart to get it to stop, which could be ammo spendy. If spare manpower is available, having a shift guard in a tower with a reasonable caliber bolt-action (Mosin Nagant?) would be a lot cheaper (.50 BMG is what, $3+ a round commercially?)

8bit: I think we could probably do better than a 70 year old Russian bolt action, couldn’t we? Sheesh, even an M1 Garand would be preferable.

Ammo for the M2 is pricey, hence my plan to raid CampPen and heist a couple of Conex containers full of ammo. Come to think of it, if we boost some 7.62mm NATO, we could set your guard up with a nice scoped bolt action.

As far as thermal versus lowlight: We could use black or white light scopes for the zombies. Good catch on the no thermal signature issue.
