Talk about an attention getting article title! Just thought I'll share it.

Pfft you want news?

 

I was hoping for more titles that are just misleading enough to grab our attention only to discover when we read the article that they were nothing more than a play on words. Oh well. Not that it was important.

 

Hold the phones! - Leicester City Council 'not ready' for zombie attack http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-13713798

Damn, damn and an extra slice of damn for the weekend!

 

I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse. Are you?

 

Not my right, I use that for, well I just use it ok!

 

I would. I have little use of it anyway.

 

I'm a lefty, so that one stays. I'd be more comfortable with a katana, or a Shaolin spade. No need for gas. I suppose I'd wear a poncho and a face mask to prevent blood spatter going into open cuts, my mouth, my nose, or my eyes. Pretty much anywhere I have mucous membranes. Well, that's what I'd do if the zombies were slow. If they were fast, I'd have a gun and go for headshots all the way. Preferably a .357, and I'd also have a hunting rifle that shoots .223's for when I was in a fortress of my own design and could pop a few deaddies that stray too close. If the zombies were semi-intelligent and could learn to open doors or start cars, I'd go for spread-fire weapons, like an 8 gauge shotgun or a potato gun loaded with rocks, or perhaps a wet sock filled with rocks, or maybe I'd make sabots with quarter sticks of dynamite inside and fire them from the potato gun, along with percussion caps to detonate them on contact. A quarter stick has about a 6 foot explosion radius, good for tightly gathered crowds. Headshots would be lethal, body shots would dismember, splash damage would knock some of the fools down.

 

If I had to pick a fire arm for the Apocalypse, the most important thing would be a 5,56 or 7,62 caliber, since that's the most common round. A reliable design and access to replaceable parts would also come in handy. This is, of course, long term thinking. I probably wouldn't last for more than a few days.

Possible candidates: -FN SCAR, if I can manage to find both a 5,56- and a 7,62-barrel.

-Tavor TAR-21, a bullpup which seems both accurate and reliable. No 7,62-barrel available, thou. Also, replaceable parts would probably be a problem, since the rifle isn't so wide spread.

-Bofors AK5C, the only gun I know that I can actually take care of and handle.

 

Let us use some common sense here guys. The best way to fight zombies is to not engage them at all.

 

Actually Zanza, the only way to fight zombies is hard and fast, and as soon as you think you're done for the day it's time to fight them some more. If a zombie outbreak actually happened, and the disease is spread by biting? How long do you think it would take for it to spread? People aren't going to think, "Oh, fuck, a zombie! RUN!" Because they've never seen one before. They'll just think it's some addled hobo, and it'll just get closer, until eventually you're backed into a corner by 5 of them, and each one wants to eat you to death. The old and fat will go first. Then, people who don't know how to properly fight the infection. Then, you've got millions of dead people walking around biting whomever they can find who's dumb enough to be caught outside. But eventually, everyone has to leave their safe haven. You'll definitely run out of food, you'll need to buy water because everyone's afraid dirty water caused the epidemic in the first place, and you'll need assholes who everyone called crazy to watch your back. I've got your back.
