Ultimate anti-zombie weapon

What else is new? We're geeks. It's what we do.

true. true

That doesn't make it okay.

No, it makes it our duty.

Besides, if a zombie bit him, he'd ifect it with his own 'plague of awesome', turning the zombie into an inferior copy of himself. His counter-plague would then spread around the world, transforming mankind into a race of clone superhumans, from the ashes of the zombie apocalypse.

Come on guys, no one likes a Gary Sue.


Let's send in Power Armoured Displacer Beavers or something instead.

all unlikely theoretical weapons aside... there is no perfect weapon, if you are on the run it is best to have a long range weapon, a silent short rage weapon, and various melee weapons for close and distant combat... so sniper rifle, bow w/ arrows, machete/sword depending on skill, and knuckle duster... obviously training the body and training with all weapons is a given for optimal use and survival.

Gorilla pointed this out in part, but the best weapon is preparation.

For instance, my current situation is a perfect example:

Within my house, I have a M1 Garand, a Ruger Mini 14, and a Walther P38. Added to this, I have several melee weapons with which I am, at the very least, proficient with. (There are also several other small arms, including a couple of .22s, though I've chosen to include only the weapons with which I am capable of stopping a human, and thus a zombie, in their tracks.)

All of the windows of my house are double-paned and easily accessible to board up. My front door is exceptionally solid. I installed the back door is also solid, and I installed it myself. My "garage" is a large concrete structure that has been converted completely into a machine shop. I have a gas generator and enough dry food to feed myself and my grandparents for about a year.

Approximately 300 degrees around my house has its visibility open for at least a 100 yards. The remaining 60 degrees is covered by a heavy wall of trees that serves to cover me moving from my back door to the door of my shop. I have a camp stove in my kitchen. Power is really not necessary to run my house.

On top of all of this, I live in a small town. I literally have enough ammo for the Garand alone to kill 3 times my town's population. Bring the zombie apocalypse on.

And, finally, immediately on the other side of the heavy tree line that guards my back door is my neighbors 500 gallon propane tank. In the event that I need to go out in a blaze of glory, I have my means.

Preparation.

Stickboy return my drawings! O.- Thanks love ^^

Anywho when I made the thread I was just considering the best weapon overall for killing a zombie whether you're trained in it's use or not, but to many variables come into play now that I actually think about it. So going with the new thread take on this makes it easier.

Do they know this?

Best anti-zombie weapon? Pocket dimension. Either hide in there and wait it out, or dump them all in there and seal it up.

[WalkerBoh]

I disagree, since it is either a hideout or a trap. I don't generally equate the two with weapons. A car at least doubles as a large blunt weapon. The best anti-zombie defense is avoidance, of course, but in the event that you are forced into conflict, you want a versatile high-damage low-fatigue short- to mid-range weapon (long range is optional as I tend to define it in miles or kilometers, while mid range tends to be in terms of city blocks; you may want to use the time it takes them to close from long to mid range to find a suitable engagement area rather than struggle with making those shots if you aren't trained to do so), as well as a high-damage low-fatigue melee weapon (a Spanish rapier works well, if the zombies actually use their muscles).

Cold, harsh winters?

[Gorilla]

Bah! Dont try to turn gods hatred of canuckistan into a good thing!

I'd say anyone in Saskatchewan would be perfectly safe from the zompocalypse.

- Who's going to think to go there?
- Everything is so flat you'll be able to see a zombie from far away enough that no harm will come.
- The cities are small enough to be unlikely vectors of infection, and even if they are, well, just get out of town (not hard) and go straight for a day.
- As a farming province, lots of food will be available. Might want to avoid stuff in case of infection or something, though.
- Summers are so hot that zombies will likely collapse and die of sunstroke, if possible.
- Winters are so cold that zombies will become zombosicles.
- There are a lot of guns, hurray Rural Canada.
- Not a big city region, so survivors are much more likely to be friendly.

the cold'd get bad in some cases I imagine for those unprepared.
