I disagree with you here - a grenade is a terrible weapon for zombies. The primary purpose of a grenade is to send lots and lots of shrapnel into (living) human bodies. It doesn't really matter where the shrapnel enters, because so much of it gets into the body that the person dies. Against zombies, however, shrapnel in the body does absolutely nothing. As you said Jon, headshots are what you want. The chances of getting a lethal amount of shrapnel from the explosion into the head are slim. You're just going to end up with a lot of zombies with body parts missing; you'll have to go around and shoot each one in the head anyway. Secondly, the amount of noise a grenade makes will alert every zombie within a huge radius. So provided that you get a grenade (where the fuck are you going to get a grenade anyway? And who'd want to carry them around?), it goes off properly and even manages to take out a few zombies, you'd better get the fuck outta there, and fast.
Boro, man, where the fuck are you going to be able to drive that thing? It certainly won't have off-road capabilities. The roads are going to be completely clogged with abandoned vehicles - do you really want to risk crashing into every single one to move it out of the way, repeatedly damaging your vehicle? Plus, it'll probably use diesel fuel - those engines are much louder than normal cars. I agree in that an armoured vehicle can be a good refuge for a night or two, but I highly disagree that you can survive long-term in it. What happens when you're surrounded by zombies, out of fuel, out of food and out of ammo? Do you use the one bullet you (always, always{/i] should) save on yourself?
Jon said it best: you're there to survive, not be a hero. Outrun, outsmart, outlive.
Boro_Bandito:
Once again matt, You have to consider where I'll be driving. The idea is to not have this vehicle when I am close to major population centers, or on major highways near them where the roads truly will be clogged for miles and miles. I have an extremely detailed Road atlas of the United States that tells me every road that is paved, and many many that aren't. I'm not going to try and use this thing on I-95. I will keep moving, but not by the shortest routes possible. There is a spiderweb across every part of the united states of roads that will be empty and silent, and those are the ones I'm going to use. True, they aren't the quickest routes but with this vehicle it'll be quick enough to outrun zombies (zombies can still only go as fast as normal humans when running, and they aren't trackstars, no form). I don't need to be pushing 80 to get to where I need to go, and the armored nature of the vehicle would make up for its speed and loudness. And once I am away from large cities I won't have to worry what fucking road I'm driving on.
You do know that the US is a big fucking place right?
Chrasstor:
If there was a zombie uprising I would be on the zombies team. You people are horrible. Read over your posts, and decide for yourself who the real monsters are. Zombies are just trying to make a god damn living the only way they know how, like any fucking other person.
What if being a zombie isn't so bad? There aren't really zombies(yet), so who's to say what it's really like to be a zombie? What if it's a state of nirvana?
Zombies are people too, and if you deny them that right then you're a fucking bigot. This thread has tales of extreme violence. It makes me fucking sick. I'm going to fucking vomit, you people.
WE WILL FUCKING WRECK YOU!
Alex C:
Fighting is always a last resort, and if that's the case I'm not going to be fucking around with a claw hammer and risk getting infected. You have to allow for setbacks too; if zombies are between you and fuel and food then well, you might have to shoot something.
Anyway, as far as vehicles are concerned, I'd go the predictable hick route again; a light pickup truck (with a bed cover, of course; last thing I want to do is make it easier for a zombie to hitch a ride) has a fairly decent combination of fuel efficiency and storage, and it'd be a helluva lot easier to "acquire" a shitty ford ranger or something in an emergency than a zombie crushing super vehicle.
Dissy:
I am a horrible person, I know I am. But am I so horrible for killing a creature that was once a human being who died but is back up walking?
Also, I'm just going to say, the majority of you are pretty fucked anyway. Why, you ask? Becaue the Zombacalypse has already started. The mutagen/virus is in our drinking water. Filtering the water does almost nothing.
