Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Dire warnings of the apocalypse mistaken for prank
Nodaisho:
My issue with a sharp object is the blood spatter, which would be greater than with a blunt object.
What about armor? I'm thinking chain mail and leather, possibly kevlar and a steel insert underneath in case of unfriendly living humans. Of course, anyone still surviving is probably pretty good at getting headshots by now, hopefully not so good when someone is shooting back.
I doubt it is marketing for RE5, the nazi zombie comment wouldn't make sense, and I think that hacking into road signs is a bit far across the legal line for a company to endorse for something that obvious.
Tyler:
It is clearly marketing for Dead Snow.

When you are firing into a crowd of zombies, you would probably have to fire straight up into the sky to not hit something.

I think I might want to watch that, the previews are pretty funny. Anyone notice someone grabbing a hammer, and then someone else grabbing a sickle in the arming up bit of the trailer?
I think the Nazi zombies bit is more likely to be referencing CoD5, though.
Patrick, remember that hitting isn't enough, you need to hit them in the head. And you don't want the .357 sig, anyway. Ammo is harder to find, it isn't noticeably more powerful than a 9mm, unless you (you all probably don't care about this technical stuff), which doesn't matter on non-living matter, anyway. Go for the 9mm or .40 version, those are the more popular ones, and the 9mm version has 33 round magazines, for when you really don't have time to spend that second and a half reloading.
Patrick:
The thing about the .357 coming out of a 5" barrel is that the longer barrel means greater muzzle velocity, and in this case it makes your impact force roughly the same as a .45 would be coming out of a more compact weapon at much shorter range.
Since I'm just working from the little passage Cartilage Head posted, it's unclear whether these zombies are undead, or whether they're just infected with parasites. He did mention that they were not only running, but that they were aware. That to me suggests a living enemy, since if you are undead you are probably a lot less able to move (rigor mortis and shit). If they're living and they're just infected by a parasite (or, like the film version of I Am Legend, an airborne vaccine gone horribly wrong), you have a much more fearsome target, but at the same time a much less hardy one.

The lack of a stock is a problem, and the short sight radius is as well. Unless you are Todd Jarrett or Jerry Miculek, grab a rifle. But you know what? They would go for a rifle first, as well.

The thing about rifles is that they are (not pistols, lolol) much longer and therefore harder to whip out. Ideally, you would have both so that you could grab your pistol, start firing at random so that the impact of the bullets forces some of them to fall over backward (hence my preference of the relatively large caliber with high muzzle velocity), causing them to trip over each other, giving you a chance to run. Then as soon as you empty your mag, you'll hopefully have enough room to start running, pulling back the bolt of your rifle as you whip it out, and blind-firing behind you. Obviously, since the rifle is going to be your main weapon, you will have more ammo for that, but definitely keep a good stockpile of that pistol stuff handy.
