plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Stryc9Fuego:
Here's a nice 'what if' for you: what if the zombie plague is airborne? You'd either need air tanks (ideal, yet too short term), or some form of antimicrobial air filtration system (less trustworthy, but effectively unlimited).
More specification: once all the soft tissue on a zombie rots (muscles, etc) would it die? If that's the case, you just need to find a way to cause the flesh to dissolve faster. Maybe surround your bunker complex with a moat filled with a lye solution or something. Zombies stumble in trying to get at you, their bodies get all ate up, you're fine and dandy. No need to aim.
While we're speculating, how about you take the whole 'aiming' issue out of hand entirely: automated sentries. Of course, that may start a horrifying combination of Zombie Apocalypse + Robot Apocalypse...
jhocking:
Oh come now, automated sentries? Let's restrict our speculations to defenses which are immediately feasible for us to muster, otherwise we might as well all start shouting out superpowers that we want.
Iron_Fist:
Well my old plan has been royally fucked, so my new one is head to Siberia, large open flat country, cold too, so zombies will be sluggish there, firearms are readily available, and you could start your own country their and no one would notice for years. Get an AK and you're set. Sparse population that far east makes for a low density zombie infestation.
Stryc9Fuego:
I guess you're right about the sentry guns, because nobody has made one in their own home. :x
Boro_Bandito:
We're just saying that since you can never actually know when the uprising is going to occur that you'll be caught off guard enough so that it would take quite a while to get a working system of fully automated sentry guns installed and up and running, never mind having to create software that recognizes and shoots undead targets (assuming you don't want to kill survivors too) and the lack of readily available ammunition to keep it up long enough to do any good.
Also, I'm betting a sentry gun capable of hitting a moving target would make mostly body shots, which by group consensus are worth jack shit. And really, sentry guns against the thousands upon thousands that make up the zombie horde? Its a waste of time and effort better spent towards creating other traps of zombie death, like the lye or acid moat.
