Poll: Zombie Invasion: what weapon do you reach for first?

[Radeonx]

Please try to use the search bar, there are tons of these.
OT: A cane sword.

You really like cane swords, don't you Radeon?

I think the better question is "Why doesn't everyone else like cane swords as much as me?"

Cane swords are pretty much the best option ever, aside from maybe a cane shotgun. Or a cane that's reinforced with some metal that makes it usable as a mace.

False.
Cane sword beats everything.

Realisticly, a baseball bat. If I could have whatever I wanted, it'd be a Flintlock pistol and a Repeater Rifle.

to flame thrower people don't, all you do is turn them into flaming carnivores after your brain. Shotgun to the face is quite effective on them. But shotgun if I'm in the living room, in my bedroom I would grab the Cavalry Sabre on my wall.
Don't pick chainsaw or flame thrower. Chain saw would bring more to you, get caught on bone, and have a good chance on the chain breaking and flying into your arm. Flame thrower just makes them walking torches to cook you while they eat you

Someone takes zombie apocalypses a little too seriously.

I take the concept of preparation for the worst WAY too seriously. I also wouldn't want the last remaining humans killing them self with a chainsaw/flamethrower

This is the worst? And maybe you should put less effort into a hypothetical joke and more into something productive.

Zombie survival guide? the dozens of sites dedicated to zombie survival? Sure it probably wont happen (remember, quantum physics tells us ANYTHING can happen, it just might be REALLY unlikely) but if you are bored and want some shits and giggles, why the hell not make a zombie survival plan, I made one in high school... speaking of which I've been at uni for 3 years and haven't made a new one, I can't very well go to the rec-center that is 7 hours by car away from here now can I...

Also... Why no love for the crowbar? It's a tool and a weapon! and doesn't run out of bullets! and I can scream "I'm Gordan Fucking Freeman!" while I'm attacking things

Also, If I'm going to rant, what KIND of zombies are we talking here? I mean they range from mild nuance a small child cold mop up single-handedly (original Dawn of the Dead) to FML we are screwed (like Left4Dead, do you really think you can take a tank?)... either way though... I'll go with "I'm Gordan-Fucking-Freeman"

Someone takes zombie apocalypses a little too seriously.

I'm pretty sure he's been reading Max Brooks. To be honest, that book was... a little over though out in my opinion. If I'm going to answer honestly, and I like to answer honestly, thne I'd either:
A) Run and hide in a cupboard until I was found and eaten.
B) Grab my bike and run my stupid ass away, then eventually get eaten after I got tired.
C) Get to the gun shop in town, and try and convince them to let me in.

Purely for that one scene in Braindead, I had to say a lawnmower

Realisticly, a baseball bat. If I could have whatever I wanted, it'd be a Flintlock pistol and a Repeater Rifle.

Why? it would take you like 10 minutes to relode. why not just got for a normal pistol or even a revolver and something like a decent hunting rifle?

Because I love Flintlock guns and repeater rifles. Simple as that

 

[Canid117]

A shotgun of course. The official weapon of the zombie apocalypse.

 

[ThePinkAcidSmurf]

OR

 

[darkmushroomm]

A fully Automatic Crossbow.

EDIT: Or a Lancer.

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

I own a medieval style Warhammer. (Very expensive. Glad I didn't pay for it.)

So I'd probably use that.

 

[boredkid]

Giving proper supplies and conditions the Shotgun and/or Assault Rifle would be ideal, however, every good survivor knows that ammo wont last forever and that eventually you'll have to resort to Plan B. The baseball bat might be okay, depending on it's make. Personally, I'd rather be equipped with the 18" blade machette I keep stashed in my house. It doubles a cutting utensil and tool in desperate times of need.

Flame thrower, so I can burn Zombies

 

[AwesomeExpress]

I picked land mines, but on further thought, I guess those would be more for once the initial wave passes and you have time to build up your defenses. So I guess my first pick would be baseball bat. No need to worry about ammo and one strike to the head should do the trick.

 

[bubba145]

That depends: Are the zombies already coming down my street? Or are they relatively close but still not a problem atm?
If they're close, my 12 ga winchester 1300. Got a couple hundred rounds for it, so im not an easy target. Add the ammo to 100 yard, close to MOA accuracy, and its a zombie killing machine.
If the zombies are somewhat close, either run to Gander Mountain and pick up the bolt action .50 they have there, or knock over the nearest gun shop that stocks ar-15s and ammo. Both firearms offer very good accuracy out to around 500yds for the ar and well over 2000yds for the .50 (didnt check, but i think the longest confirmed kill was made by a Canadian at around 2500 yds)

Also, what the hell is a water cannon gonna do to zombies???

same question also good choices i would pick the same but get some pistols in the process like a .357 magnum.

Why go .357 mag when you can go .44 mag? I personally like either the FNP 45 or any of the multitude of 1911s out there, with the requirement of at least .45 cal, although a .50 gi would be better.

well the 45s are good but i prefer the .357 because its the round of choice in my pistol i'm designing. if you have seen a lemat imagine a modern version of that.
