plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Gemmwah:
I live in the UK. Guns are Illegal. Not even regular Police Officers carry them.
Gun Stores?
The best I could do would be cycle to a nearby army base and try and steal one of the SA80's, although there's fat chance of that happening.
Boro_Bandito:
Man, never has the American "right to bear arms" amendment sounded like such a good idea. Hate to say it but you're screwed. The UK is an overpopulated gunless island, it is possibly the worst possible place in the world to be when the zombie apocalypse happens.
Nodaisho:
Well, here in Colorado, I am pretty sure you could get rifles in a 24 hour period. Actually, I am not sure how long the background check would take, but I don't think there is a waiting period here.
I know a place within a ten minute drive of my house that has guns and ammo, some sporting goods stores and wal-marts do as well. I don't think the store I mentioned has as many as I would want, but it has a good amount.
Of course, this is in one of the more gun-friendly areas in the USA, one of the more gun-friendly countries. Swiss people would probably do well against zombies, since so many homes have guns due to a militiaman living there. Course, he isn't allowed to use his issued ammo (which for some reason doesn't even amount to a full magazine), but he could have purchased more ammo and use that.
UK? You can own guns, they just have to be shotguns with a capacity of three or less, can't be a handgun, and I am not sure the regulations on rifles. Of course, not sure how long you would have to wait there.
edit: Boro, a scot I know has an uncle that runs a range of some sort, he ought to be one of the better off UK residents if the zombies come, though they live near glasgow, which could cause them trouble just from population.

I think the fatal flaw in most of the plans i read in this thread is that they require equipment that is not available.

THANK YOU!!!

You can still reduced them to charred lumps of carbon givin the situation isn't dire, good for getting rid of those still twitchin bodyparts that can build up every now and again.

"The living dead have no fear of fire. Waving an open flame in a ghoul's face will do nothing to slow or impede its advance. Zombies who have caught fire will neither notice nor react to the engulfing flames in any way. Too many humans have met with tragedy for failing to understand that fire is no deterrent to zombies!"
Page 51, the Zombie Survival Guide. Fire can be useful for destroying the remains, but it is too difficult to control to ever be an effective weapon.

If you've got a 24 hour warning chances are gun stores will too, and I'm betting if that point comes they won't bother waiting for a background check. Worst comes to worst you break in somewhere after hours, so what if its a crime that can be traced back to you? The police will be much more worried about imminent zombie conflict)

One thing you must note, Phil, is that America has some of the least strict gun laws in the world. It's not nearly as easy to get a hold of guns in most other nations. People in the UK, to my recollection, would have almost no chance of getting a hold of one for an outbreak. Guns are relatively hard to get a hold of. (Apparently, Gemm covered this as I was typing). Note, people, my advice and strategy is generally advisable techniques for your average person. Just about everything I've recommended is available at any department store. Zombie survival for the working class, folks.
Also, in reference to my earlier grenade remarks, I wasn't advocating their use. I was using intentional hyperbole to note how ineffective ANY weapon is unless you get a headshot off. No real legal and attainable firearms have the sheer force to kill a zombie without a headshot, so the difference between power in a handgun and sidearm starts to become negligible in any situation where shooting a zombie is the right move to begin with.
Ozymandias:
Oh, I got it, you guys.
I'm going to get 10,000 grenades and put them in each zombie's mouth individually. One at a time.
