what would ye do when you run out of ammo?

fine and dandy having a massive calibre weapon, but when you've no ammunition left for it to fire, its basiclly just an expensive club that'll probably break when ye smash it over a Z's head

As for the tank, same question.. plus its a noisey bugger to boot. Starting that thing up or trying to get out of it ina safe place without being noticed by zombies would be quite hard. Imo its a noisey and perfectly safe mobile tomb.

Sharpen the machete and sort out my bug-out bag.

i live in the top floor of a 5 floor apt so as long as the dopes down stairs dont let them in im fairly ok. nail all the door shut coz the magnets that they work on id say with stop working once the power goes off. blunt heavey things as weapons sorted ive a bucket load of tools and with the car park under ground u can steal petrol and make petrol bombs to lob off the balconey. theirs a hatch to the roof to collect rain water. and im sure i can find keys to the car vans and what ever is in the car park from the people who choose to opt out if ya get me. id let the first few weeks pass by and the maddness to settle a little then try and make my way to a safer area. fire arms would be a waste of time. ideally a money transport truck would be your best bet for moving places coz its basically a tank

Very, very bad idea. If the fire spreads to a building, it will catch light. As will the building next door. And the one next to that. Within hours you'd be trapped in a burning city. The firefighters will be too busy looking after themselves or trying to eat you to put it out.

Simples!

Please state why this type of firearm is required. Protection from zombies when they come. And they are coming

not only would you be refused but you might get a knock on the door from the men in white coats!!!

ha im better off so with my O/U and my .223 have been considering trading up to a pump tho, Just incase........

My da's 22 semi auto would be handy with open sights runng around a city!

very true didnt think of that

1. Go to Clare Hire and Centra, grab as many weapons, and supplies that I can

2. Get to Doolin as fast as I can, hop on Ferry/boat and head to Aran Islands

3. No one on the Aran Islands died in the famine/Great Hunger FACT so I reckon odds are good

[Dublin_Andy]

Get high into the Dublin/Wicklow mountains with plenty of supplies.

Find a cave. And wait it out.

I'm sure there's plenty of loopholes in that strategy tho!

Spent much time in the mountains? If not bet your dead before most!

Unless you know exactly where there is a weapon, which will still be there, going looking for one will probably get you killed. Getting away from a populated area is essential but going with a group will not likely be a good idea.

Crowds are a lot tougher to move in the open drawing a lot of attention and requiring a large vehicle - the choice to help others will affect your odds of survival. But you cant stay awake all the time, you will need to sleep and its always nice to have somebody to watch your back without biting it.

Your best chances are to get to an isolated place as the countryside is a lot tougher for a zombie to cross then the open grid layout of the town or city, but in the countryside you will have a better chance of finding survivors. How you will be welcomed will depend on the event which triggered your exit from your urban wonderland, (and you can also take your tie off now, if you left your boss to his own fate, and if he is there with you, tell him what you really think of him, and quit.)

if you run out of bullets, you can always throw your imaginary gun at them the barrett would be painful, saw a marine on youtube shoot the barrett .50 cal standing up, impressive!

[a fat guy]

I saw that too Southcentral, but (at least in my video) the marine could only hold it up for about ten seconds before saying that it was too heavy to hold like that.

Seems like the gun would be too cumbersome to carry around with you in a zombie-infested world...

[southcentralts]

That's the one ,eh, a fat guy, but to shoot it while standing and stay standing, was pretty epic. He couldn't hold it on target to shoot it, had to shoot as it was dropping from pointing straight up, don't think i would want to lie down to shoot zombies chasing after me, and the sound of it would not do you any favors, might as well be ringing a lunch bell.

Given any thought to what to do when zombie killing is a routine daily job and you have survival nailed down, what do you do, go live in a mansion? get a speedboat? get a tank and destroy a building? set a new record time for Dublin to Cork, in a Bugatti Veyron, if you can find one.
New revamped version of the rte news?

if you are the only survivor and have not seen another in weeks what do you do now, focus on survival or fun?

[NoobSaibot5]

Idealistically I'd want to get two hatchets and try fight my way to an Army Barracks. But even at that, your not guaranteed that the barracks is safe, soldiers might not want to run the risk of infection by allowing civilians inside the barracks.

Logically though, I wouldn't stand a chance living right in the centre of Dublin. There'd be too many infected to try reach a quarantine area, I'd die a painful death trying to escape. I suppose if there ever was an outbreak I'd just end up topping myself before I got infected.

Brilliant!

Mine would be to get a yacht or some form of boat from dollymount. I cant sail or even have any idea how to so I'd prob die in some sort of boating accident but I'd rather that than being zombified!!!

I would of course wait until the innitial madness dies down and then make it to dollymount or anywhere along the coast road in clontarf and hope that there's one left :/ dunno how likely that would be! Maybe as likely as a zombie outbreak

[SirDelboy18]

It seems like the boats are the way to go. Maybe head to an island off the coast and clear it.
