1 Weapon for a Zombie Apocalypse

[ygetoff]

Can I have my shed?

I can make all sorts of head-choppy devices with the stuff in there. And it has a wild mouse called Trevor.

I always get distracted while doing yard work while I imagine how easy it would be to kill a zombie with a (insert strange mechanical gardening implement here)

 

[untelligence]

I would go for
Ancient Egyptian Laser beams!

I would have to go with my design of a bolt-action, .50 caliber rail-rifle that fires special plasma charges that are encased in glass. So, not only do you get a bullet hole, but you get third-degree burns, frag damage, and electrical damage. That would be awesome.

lancer all the way

but if it was a weapon that was real

Ah, but that is where you're wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk27sUUxZ7M&feature=related

I would have to say, if my first idea doesn't work out, I'd go and find that guy.

Dude, gimmie a USAS-12, and a truck load of shells. I could turn a zombie into guacamole at 50 meters with that thing!

Give me the AA-12. a fully automatic shotgun with a 30 round drum. What the USAS dreamed of becoming when it was a kid. Of course carrying only one weapon really isn't a good strategy at all. the AA12, because it would be a meat grinder, a good blade, for last ditch and they don't need ammo, and a rifle or crossbow for picking off at long range. Yeah, probably will eventually go down, but taking as many of them with me and turning them to pulp.
Or, just give me Iron Man's suit, or heck, give me a mech.

my truck.

who needs a weapon when I can just drive over the zombies.

plus, can any of your guns sync up to an Ipod? My truck can.

 

[Riggsby101]

3 yard chainsaw. solar powered.
or better yet, zombie blood powered.

how do you kill the first one?

 

[Beetlejooce]

A piece of chalk. Why? Well, if you're a zombie, and you're not that smart due to you being a reanimated corpse, if i pull out a piece of chalk you will be confused. And then i will make my escape.

All jokes aside, I'd take a Brumak

Minigun that uses rockets

Those of you who have read Max Brooks "Zombie Survival Guide" will know that the two best weapons to use are an average Military Standard Machete or a .22 Rifle. Personally I would take the Machete as it doesn't really on ammo, however it can break after plenty of use. I would avoid combat situations as much as possible though, so it wouldn't necessarily be a problem.

 

[The Cheezy One]

A Cricket bat or a pool cue.........

Or if I wasn't an idiot, A good old shotgun

*hums "dont stop me now"*

Personally I would take the Machete as it doesn't really on ammo, however it can break after plenty of use.

ive got that book! never read it though
the machete on far cry 2? the only weapon he has through the whole game that doesnt break, and at the end, he drops it
for me, its poignaint(spelling?)

personally, i would take a rapier - fast enough to outfight an enemy, but strong enough to stab them
or if i wasnt a JRPG loser, the L85A2. im british and patriotic, and its a good all rounder

 

[orc33]

any hunting rifle, with a bayonet. (or a long bow if i had the ammo and dident have to move

 

[Rickyvantof]

3 yard chainsaw. solar powered.
or better yet, zombie blood powered.

Ah, good point. Well, since zombie powered is impossible let's just keep it at solar powered.

 

[Schneebly]

A lot of cheese wire surrounding me in a very large perimeter.
Chopped in half before they could reach me

 

[BlackJack47]

kitchen scissors, hear me out, I would run screaming at the huge horde of undead, jump at the first one and start cutting madly at his neck till it comes off...then probably get eaten ¬¬...

I'm gonna have an M4..like the one in I AM LEGEND with the scope, that would be cool except my dog would have to die

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

A katana blade. Well you don't have to worry about ammo would you?

 

[Artemis923]

I'm assuming these are the classic slow zombies.

In that case I'll be using my two battle-ready Drizzt blades and my crossbow.

Complete with cloak ^^

A rapier would be a bad choice IMO, you need a weapon that can decapitate. Too stab you would have to get them in the eye, so unless you're a trained fencer it would be pretty impossible.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

The Standard Infantry Rifle - it never jams, is perfect for long range, and is endorsed by the U.S. government in the fight against zombies.

Now, shameful references to a fantastic novel aside (and points for knowing the novel in question must be awarded, I feel) personally, I'd probably go for a machete. It's functional, doesn't need ammunition and is, most importantly, pretty cool, since, if zombies take over the world, surviving is gonna be damn difficult, so I'll go for looks and never mind the horrible and inevitiable death that awaits me one way or another.

world war Z is the book you thinking of?

Indeed I am. It's nice to see someone who has read that, considering that no-one I know has.

Also, since I'm posting again, I might as well say that I'll re-choose my weapon and go for a good solid Gibson Les Paul guitar, based on the fact that it's a nice thick solid-body and is stocky enough to make up for the lack of pointy bits that other people may single out as necessary on a guitar/zombie-destroying-device.

poleaxe.... the old traditional weapon of a british knight.. and perfect for fighting zombies
