plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Switchblade:
Disciplined men with single-shot rifles firing in well-trained ranks against an oncoming horde. The added difficulty of aiming for the head is compensated for the fact that the horde is moving a lot slower.
fun fact: According to a friend of mine, men instinctively aim for the center of mass, whereas women instinctively aim for the head. Therefore, I would want my platoon of British colonial soldiers to all be women. As well as making them more efficient, it also opens up the possibility of HOT END-OF-THE-WORLD MAKEOUTS.
also, is it wrong that I find the idea of an all-female version of Zulu extremely erotic?
Nodaisho:
Switchblade actually made me laugh out loud. In the middle of the night. If I woke someone up, I blame you.
I wonder why the instinctive aiming thing is. I also wonder if someone that plays Counter-strike would be more likely to aim for the head. Note, I didn't say they would be able to hit the broad side of a barn, nor that you wouldn't be tempted to leave them for the zombies, but it would be interesting to see if someone that frequently played a game that emphasizes headshots is more likely to aim for the head than someone that doesn't game, or someone that plays games where headshots don't count.
Now that I have had time to actually think more, and not be caught up in argument mode (where I would argue that the sky is neon green, if I somehow managed to get myself into that position), I think that Khar's idea is decent, probably the best one in a crowded area, where you have to push through, but mine would probably be better in a less crowded, more wide-open area. Pat's friend would be invaluable, with his bow skills, and alaska sounds like a very good idea, if you can get the supplies to survive in the cold, especially if the zombies do shut down during winter, you just go out with whatever sharp object you have handy, and snicker-snack. Clear out a good sized area around you, allow you to stay in that place for longer. I still think that mountains would be a decent place too, really low population density, probably in part due to all the parks we have up there, so there would be more than the population density maps say, but still not nearly as many people as there are in this city. Hmm... Would putting blades on the sides of the truck be a good thing, or would it just take up too much space, making narrow roads tougher, and cause too much more drag when driving through zombies?
And Switchblade, which Monty Python bit is that from?

It's not. It's from a 1964 movie called "Zulu", which [historynerd]covered a historical battle at a place called Rorke's Drift, in which a single British Battalion held off a Zulu army of 4,000 and inflicted such heavy casualties that the Zulus withdrew. The Victoria Cross was awarded to seven different soldiers from that unit, the most that's ever been awarded for a single action.[/historynerd]
The Pythons did spoof it though. "A tiger? In Africa?".
Nodaisho:
Oh, okay, I thought that looked like John Cleese, so I assumed Monty Python. I guess it isn't him though, now that I look closer. I did see the meaning of life spoof though.
blanktom:
has anyone mentioned homemade explosives?
i've made myself some pretty good dynamite and napalm before. i'd just get myself a couple of barrels of petroleum and a good supply of the other essentials, hole myself up and get a production line going. and by 'hole myself up' i mean I Am Legend style hole myself up. my house is big enough to do this.
zombies dont have siege weapons and shit. so i'd just wait for a good build up of them and incinerate them with some home-made napalm or give them a petrol bomb or two.
also, this thread has turned into a cock-size comparison.
