plans for the inevitable undead uprising

Hows this then? It doesn't rust when you take care of it, and you have to take care of it less than normal metals? Come to think of it, after about 20 years of neglect, my dad's guitar strings did rust, but they still played fine for a while when I hadn't noticed the rust.
A good reloading press will crank ammo out pretty quickly, though I don't have any precise numbers on me.
How many times do I have to say that I am not planning on trying to kill them all? Stop putting up that damn straw man.
Sure, I wouldn't want a jam either, and if I got one with zombies close, I would probably use a sidearm instead, hopefully I would be good enough with it to buy myself enough time to clear the jam.
Some british weapons are apparently the creme de la creme of weapons that are legal in britain, course those are custom hand-made engraved double-guns, not the kind you would be looking for in a zombocalypse. For what they are though, I don't see any reason to assume that they are worse than your average gun of that kind.
You said that the gun didn't work when it got wet, the drizzle comment was intended to say what a stupid idea I thought that was. I am not going to discuss how the weather would be, as I don't really know, but I do know that the closest nuclear power plant is on the far end of Kansas, maybe... 500 or more miles away? And the closest one to the northwest, which is where the weather always comes from, is in Southeast WA. And since I live in a desert, due to the west side of the mountains catching most of the rain, I would say I am pretty well off as far as the acid rain thing goes.
I really don't see why you think that keeping weapons in good condition would be so impossible, it isn't like you are constantly going to be shooting and can't take the time for basic maintenance. Sure, a semi would be more difficult to maintain than a bolt or lever, since there is more things to go wrong with a semi, but it wouldn't be impossible, and like I have repeatedly said, while you all ignore me, I don't plan on looking for trouble, which should give me plenty of time to keep gear in good shape.
Oh, and while I thank you for noticing that I get big boners, it isn't for firearms, not even for pyrotechnics, just for females. And music. And guitars. And stop looking at me while I am naked dammit!
edit: @Oz
Stay away? That is easy, carry most of the stuff in the truck, a base would be an area out in the mountains, you get food walking around, at least for a while, and there are huge patches of land with less than one person per square mile, which means less zombies.
And how do you propose to survive, may I ask? You are all too eager to criticize my ideas, why not put out some of your own?

--- Quote from: calenlass on 02 Feb 2008, 19:01 ---I always thought that a really nice thing to get for myself someday is some layered monstrosity of kevlar over some lightweight chain mail. Ideally the kevlar will miraculously look like lovely tooled leather, although I guess I could like put a third layer of actual leather over the top; I just want to save some extra weight. This is a good reason to start saving up for it and working on it now.

I would invest in a multi-layered protective suit, yes, but it would be more along the lines of a spandex bodysuit, some fireproofed material, thin leather covering, chainmail, and a layer of slippery rubberized spandex on top so that they can't grab you as easily. All this, some melee gear, and a full-face motorcycle helmet, and you'd probably have a half-decent "In case of emergency supply runs" suit.
I would invest in a good respirator as well, god knows what those bastard zombies are coughing up.

I just meant in general, because when I thought of it I wasn't really thinking of zombies. But the kevlar will stop bullets and the chain mail will stop knives and arrows and that is what I was going with. Replacing the kevlar with some biking leather might be alright, or maybe some really stiff shit, I dunno, because it would stop bites and whatever, but in that case so would the chain mail, and at that point if I ever got into conflict with some other party of survivors neither would help me against bullets.
Dude, Nodaisho, he already did offer suggestions. The shield wall thing was for navigation between supply sources in urban areas where zombies are concentrated heavily. Pay attention, dude!
Nodaisho:
He can ignore what I post, I can ignore what he posts. Besides, that is only his plan for fighting, what does he plan to do when they get tired? Where do they rest?
The kevlar is actually a good idea, in case you run into some live people that decide you don't need your supplies.
calenlass:
Dude if you are ignoring what he posts and yet still asking for a response, what the fuck are you doing in this thread.
Nodaisho:
I was asking for his plans other than the shield wall, actually, and for Ozy's plans, since he seems oh so eager to criticize mine. Perhaps his plans were stated in one of the posts further back in the thread that I hadn't seen?
