Could YOU survive TEOTWAWKI?

Flame thrower???? Have you never played Time Splitters II? Flaming zombies just catch YOU on fire long before the brain gets destroyed and the zombie flops over.

Basically, yup.

Like I said, if it's in a contained area and you're in a safe position, then, and ONLY then, is the use of flamethrowers or Molotavs adviseable.

It just hit me how completely ridiculous and insane this discussion is.

I thought decapitation worked simply because it cut off the brain stem.

Also. 7 reasons as to why a zombie apocalypse would fail rather quickly:

1. Bugs. Maggots, flies, etc. etc.
2. Heat.
3. Cold.
4. People with firearms.
5. Biting is a terrible way to spread a disease.
6. They can't heal from day to day damage.
7. The landscape is full of barriers. Examples include security doors, mountains, cliffs...

It seems like as long as you're willing to shoot people you know, that you get a Z+ rating. I wasn't sure about some of the zombie questions, like what is the best gun to have. I said shotgun. It seems like it would be the easiest to blow a head off with.

Did anyone see Zombieland? It was pretty good for a Zombie flick.

Rifle is the best to have - semi-auto or bolt action. Auto will get you nowhere fast.

Shotguns, while effective, are heavy and short-ranged, with a limited ammo capacity.

Nah, never seen it. Looks hilarious, though.

So use a rifle to get as many as you can. Then a shotgun for close in. Then maybe a machete for real close in.

1. Critters will not eat zombie flesh - ingestion by any creature of Solanum-infected flesh is 100% fatal, so they avoid it.
2. Not really. Extreme heat, maybe, but for the most part won't harm them.
3. Granted.
4. Well, duh.

Keep in mind, though, that more than likely the first zombies in an outbreak will show up in hospitals in major cities, not exactly a gun owner's paradise. Dense, crowded, and therefore difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
5. See above for likely origins of outbreak. Dense and crowded, plus panicking people = easy infection. At first.
6. True. That said, they don't feel pain, and they become freakishly focused on sighting prey. In fact, a zombie with only a torso, head, and arms is extremely dangerous, as it looks quite dead and harmless.
7. Yep. Use them to your advantage.

All information comes from The Zombie Survival Guide.

Now, the question is, why the heck am I arguing about ZOMBIES?!

If you are prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you are prepared for any number of disasters or emergencies
