    What would be the one weapon that you would arm yourself with?

    (Your choice is not limited by it's availability, e.g. the fact that you probably don't have a supply of grenades laying around the place or that your local Mace doesn't actually sell maces.)

    We could have our own nearly identical teams that bump into each other like in Shawn of the Dead

    Or us and the rest of the nocturnals could team up and be the night watch in defending our strong-hold while the day folks sleep at night, Team-work is essential in surviving the zompocolypse

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Yeah I'd go with the AK too.

    Flamethrower = VERY bad mistake, whats worse than zombies? Thats right, Zombies... on fire!

    I have got to say that the token friend is the best weapon, run away as they are devoured! (It works in the movies)

    Katana. No ammuntition required, long enough to use without getting too close to a zombie and it was designed specifically to decapitate.

    I am a Zombie why would I need a weapon :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,584 ✭✭✭c - 13



    ****ing hell thats tasty ! I'd seen replicas for sale before but never knew what they were called. Jury is still out here at the moment, leaning heavily towards one of those at the moment though !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭irish_boy90


    prob a sniper rifle. great for the long range, would need a good spot where they can't get me and i can shoot all day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    A chainsaw. Nothing like getting up close and personal. Get the refreshing feel of zombie blood splash off your face while you split them down the middle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭SuperSean11


    A bear


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 ryukobain


    A shield made from women. The zombies would stay away because of lack of brains. OUCH!

    AA-12 Automatic shotgun.

    Scary freaking gun. Failing that, I'd put in a 3rd vote for the AK, those things just don't break. Oh, and a Gladius for close range.

    well thats not really good, you will get infected for sure from that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    My choice would be the Schofield model 3 top-break .45 colt pistol aka 'Broken Butterfly' for Resi 4 fans :D

    Sword or rail gun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    AK for longish distance, sawn-off for mid-range mass carnage and a katana for up close and personal!

    Katana = not good, needs some room and muscle to use effectively.
    Chainsaw= as above, and what if the Zombie virus is blood borne?

    AK, reliable, decently accurate and goes "Bang" every time, a solid choice!

    Glock, maybe three, for the up close moments. Goes bang every time ;)

    Weapon of choice, FN "SAW" or the Minimi. Belt fed or takes standard M16 mags, I wouldn't be into ripping off 300 rounds of link, but put a Holosight on that thing and start popping heads! :eek:

    For teams reduced to katanas and the likes, a turf cutting "Slan" or however it's spelt may be ideal? No room to swing needed, thrust like a spear using phalanx tactics ala "300" or the bleedin' Romans (what they ever done for us?)

    A skewering with a spear won't kill a zombie, but hit him under the chin with even a sharpened up spade and you've upped your chance of a successful deanimation. Using it to keep lone zombies pinned and away from you while a mate makes the head shot is also quite useful.

    A large mag. capacity on something in .22rimfire like the Calico or Ruger 10-22 would be good for clearing Zeds from around a fixed defensible point, like my local castle for example :) A head shot with a CCI Stinger will do just fine if I'm not worried about being eaten right then if it fails to stop.


    Just had a thought, if a doorway is likely to be breached, why not mount a punt gun inside it loaded with fine shot, or mixed shot and OO buckshot? A proper crowd pleaser! A portable version may be the Striker aka "The Streetsweeper" shotgun800px-Protecta-shotgun-p1030163.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I would go with the SPAS 12

    post-15-83751-SPAS12.jpg0D763628_E081_227F_DAD901A8BF230C6D.jpgLarge.jpg

    It is the obvious choice to me considering it is Semi-automatic, Easy to use, requires minimal cleaning and will take the feckers heads clean off. (Well not clean.)

    And we all know the only way to "Kill" a zombie is to separate its head from its body!!!

    Realistically I would also cary some sort of sword also because the Spas may run out of rounds or I will not have time to reload when they are too close.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,579 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    All in context people. If you're barricaded into somewhere with plenty of food and water a spear would do the trick ;).

    Feck, I passed 1000 posts and didn't notice.

    not if 3+ zombies managed to get through the barricaded door at once..thats when the aul sawn off would come in handy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Samurai sword ftw!

    Doesnt need ammo, and ye can jus chop off all their heads

    that, or the more conventional......

    stick11.jpg


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,837 ✭✭✭S.I.R


    depends where you are. the ak47-49 are my pref but yeah a sword Would eb nice but they get blunt easy and can only be re-sharpen so many times..


    screwdriver is always a reliable weapon or a colt 45 pistol ( ganglands favorite weapon. )


    but haven said that a nissan primera would also be nice... just keep topping her up with petrol and she will never stop. Fact.


    But the ultimate weapon ??

    mary harnys underwear on a stick... if that dont kill you... your mary harny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,476 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Assuming you can have a weapon with infinate Ammo i would go with the Styer AUG, nothing beats it, you've got a scope, grenade launcher and it's light unlike the M16 or a flame thrower.

    If you can run out of ammo then i would choose the Witch King's Sword from Lord Of The Rings, long, can turn fiery and if you stab someone with it he turns to your side, i'll have my own hybred army of Zombie/Nazgul in no time
