plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Ozymandias:
And, again, they only move slow depending on the type of zombie. An old-school supernatural zombie is slow, yes, but a freshly dead biological/chemical zombie is just as fast as a human who feels no pain and never gets fatigued. You have to be prepared for that.
Also, rapid-fire firearms? You have to remember: guns are meant for killing humans. They're meant for damaging any number of vital areas or just causing enough damage for them to bleed to death. Zombies have one vital area and feel no pain and do not bleed to death. The only way a gun is effective is if you nail the brain. The odds of a headshot via spray and pray are not that great. Even 1 out of 10 odds gives you a maximum of 7 kills before you have to reload on an AK47 with a drum magazine. 3 or 4 on your standard box magazine.
You'll be out of ammo and dead within minutes if you're facing any sort of sizable horde.

See this is why I think we should plan on banding together.
Also, flamethrowers.
Ozymandias:
1) There is no such thing as a reliable flamethrower. That's just James Bond nonsense. To speak of flamethrowers in relation to the zombie threat is just silly.
2) Fire is not your friend. Yes, a zombie will burn to death. Eventually. In the meanwhile, you have to deal with a FUCKING FLAMING ZOMBIE. It's not going to scream in pain and run away. It's going to keep trying to grab you while its flesh chars. This is only acceptable if, again, you have a method of maintaining distance (a barricade, etc.) and that method isn't flammable.
Something Witty:
None of you know shit about dicks about guns. Stop talking like you do.

Yeah, because just what I need when trying to get away from a shuffling zombie horde is to instead be trying to get away from a flaming zombie horde. Incendiary weapons are about the worst possible weaponry that can be employed in a zombie outbreak. The only use of fire against zombies is when doing mop up where collateral damage is irrelevant. In the event of escape, fire is your enemy. A zombie isn't going to burn to death right away. If you enflame it, odds are, it's just going to catch fire to something else and further obstruct your escape route.
