Weapon Of Choice For The Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse?

After getting extremely frustrated at how much needless time I wasted trying to figure out what was going on with my account... and allowing one ungrateful person's lack of gratitude to get the best of me... I decided to go shoot at some targets.

Have recently taken up archery and got a take-down recurve bow so that I could break it down and travel with it on my motorcycle to target ranges. I've got a good 20 yards and a target in my back yard, and it's surprising how relaxing it is to focus on a target and send an arrow ripping through the air. And the sound they make when you hit it hard and just right... like I said, especially if you're aggravated, it's very relaxing. ;)

Now, I'm only using a #30 bow at the moment while I get my form down. It's not enough to take down a large beast, but I'm not aiming for that. It is, however, plenty powerful enough to take down zombies I reckon. So, if the zombie apocalypse does indeed come, I'll be ready.

What will be YOUR weapon of choice during the zombie apocalypse?

12 gauge shotgun. Shotguns are, by far, the best self defense weapon one can use. Takes very little in the way of aiming and they are devastating at close range and have a decent fire rate.

a loud ghettoblaster and some sick dubstep will keep em away

Make sure it's a head shot or the zombies will just keep coming after you.

Shovel. Oh and some extra brains on hand as distraction bait.

I'd want one of those foam sprayers....that sprays the stuff that hardens... They are already dead right?

I like the hands-on feel of a skillet and I'm working on my technique: http://guff.com/fitness-guide-to-surviving-a-zombie-apocalypse/

Machete. Shotguns eventually run out of shells.

I currently carry a Rugar SRC .40 cal. That is loaded with Hornady Zombie Max rounds. That should do the trick.

A load of banana peels....I know that will work!!!

Cricket bat, classic and proven.

I'd ask Abbie to give them a time-out.

A Delisle Carbine :)

Dean's idea would probably be the most effective...

Zombies are so 2012 at tis point. I was tired of them by then. When advertisers use zombies to sell cable TV and insurance, you know an idea has run it's course.

45-70 gubment lever action for distance, shotgun for medium, 45 ACP for last resort up close (Marlin SBL to be specific.)

My grand daughter had her Zombie Apocalypse plan at age 4 and could even spell it. She demonstrates how she has very sharp, fast elbows and can take them out.

that wouldn't be very efficient unless it reloaded itself. and mythbusters i think proved you would have a tough time if a hoard came to attack you. the best weapon is a flame thrower with napalm. they would ignite, and set others on fire. your dead either way if they attack you.

Just remember, you have to hit them twice! I will be using the lid from the tank on a toilet.

 

Mike Savad

your shoulders will get sore pretty quick with that. and if your caught near a mens room, there aren't any. though i suppose a flame thrower would be hard to carry as well. there is an armory by my house, i suppose under those circumstances they wouldn't mind if i took one. i'm not sure how to hotwire a tank, but how hard can it be?

I'd definitely keep my Smith and Wesson Model 28 strapped to my side with plenty of speed loaders....but I suspect zombies would be the least of my worries, I'd use my tomahawk on the zombies and save my ammo for more serious, intelligent threats.

I'll use my Bible to thump them on the head. Bonus: all those weekly bulletins it's stuffed with are bound to give them nasty paper cuts. Might even take their heads clean off.

My son says he would train an attack wolf. Not sure where he's planning on finding one outside of Minecraft.

Ricardo LOL !

Wow! There's some beautifully creative passive-aggression being expressed here. Love it!

My aim really isn't to kill anything with the archery. Just got interested all of a sudden, and am finding it relaxing to focus on accurate arrow delivery when time on-line or traffic makes my blood pressure rise. ;)

Pitchfork. Its just more fun and never needs reloading.

I have two questions about zombies I can't seem to find answers to...

1. Do zombies poop?

2. If they don't eat brains will they starve? Can a zombie starve to death when it is already dead?

Skip, I'm gonna just ignore them for 5 hours.

 

Skip Hunt

@Marlene... ;)

I think I'd just play Michael Jackson's Thriller, and then when they all involuntarily join up in some funky pop dance choreography, I'll just slip on my red leather jacket, maybe a white glove, and invite them all in for punch and snacks. We'll make a nice party of it! Ooooh-Hoooo! Sham-on-it!

Using materials at hand, I would use chalk or crayon and draw on the pavement surrounding myself,
a pattern of hopscotch games. Zombies, not being very agile, would stumble and fall.

Plus, they probably wouldn't have anything like a bean bag to throw down, so they would have to shuffle off
to find something, further adding to the confusion and buying you time. They might not even return.
Assuming they are easily distracted.

 

Ronald Walker

I would kill them with kindness.

Zombie Zapper, as seen on t.v. Only $39.95
order now and get two, yes, two for the price of one.
Additional shipping and handling applies.

 

Ken Krug

lol, ...if kindness doesn't do it, the Zombie Zapper will!

* It comes with a guarantee, right?

Listen! The movie Zombieland starring woodyharrelson , Emma stone, Jessie eisenberg actually covers everything you will need to know. Like Double tapping them. You have to hit them twice. You better be in shape because they can run and the fatties won't survive. But they are really stupid too!

 

Mario Carta

This should do the trick.
